I think one of the hardest things I have to do in the garden, is leave those poor Monarch Caterpillars, that are chrysalis right now, alone. At least five or six times a day I check on them. I worry that they don’t have enough room to emerge from their chrysalis and I will have failed them. Every day I ask them not to die. I have already lost four, so I am already feeling pretty bad. Their odds are still better than if they were in the wild, but that doesn’t make me feel better. There are a few things I would do differently, including asking hubby to build me a larger habitat. I know I wouldn’t be as stressed out if there was more room for both plants and caterpillars to grow.

The Reset
by Daniel Powell
Genre: Science Fiction | Action & Adventure
FREE for a limited time
A young man with a terrible secret buried deep in his chest staggers through what remains of the American South. The destruction is total — the landscape scrubbed bare by the fires of the Reset. The sun rarely penetrates the daily ash storms, and the last of the Earth’s plants and animals are slowly dying out.
And yet, there are survivors. Benjamin Stone is one of them, and he’s searching for the only person who can share his pain, another who was biologically altered at birth to become a weapon capable of bringing the world to its knees. Outside of the few supplies that sustain him in his search for a new life, he has nothing.
Nothing but a will to survive and the desire to find someplace safe — someplace better.
The Reset is a story of perseverance. It examines a future in which fragmentation and devolution have decimated society, and in which terrorism represents the final desperate attempt at shuffling the deck. With thematic elements similar to Stephen King’s The Stand and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, it’s a post-apocalyptic story about the survivors of humanity’s cruelest intentions, and their essential impulse to rebuild.
