The Moon Is Green

The Moon is green, and a beautiful face is slipping away from Effie’s window. Then her husband’s voice cuts through the night: close the shutters—or risk everything.

Years after a nuclear exchange has poisoned the air and ground, Effie and Hank live behind lead shutters in a sealed apartment, counting the years until the surface might be safe. Hank calls caution a duty; Effie, newly pregnant and starved for sunlight, sees the green Moon and the stranger outside as a glimpse of beauty—and perhaps a way out. But in a world where one careless act can mean exile or death, even hope is dangerous. Is the face beyond the glass a promise of life, or another threat in the poisoned dark?
