A Short Story
By Maryanne Peters

Introductory Note:

Over on Fictionmania I post very short pieces which are simply jottings inspired by images that I view from time to time. For me they are little exercises - mind flexing moves to keep my story writing fresh and to try to find new perspectives on what are often just tired tropes. But sometimes the idea needs to be fleshed into a full idea and that is what I usually post over here on Big Closet Top Shelf.

Chloe eventually helps Charlie to work out a possible solution to his conundrum of making his science available without weaponising it.

Charlie fires the first round in his plans to reverse the Feminista oppression.

Charlie leaves the UQ (United Queendom) and goes to ground amidst the Mc Murdo desert valleys in Antarctica.

Things finally come to a head in Charlie's life as he tires of the treatment he receives at the hands of the 'feminista' and being expected to exist at an almost slavish level of society.
