Description
This is a bit of a change for me. It's a post-apocalyptic story, but that doesn't mean it's depressing. As with most of my stories this one is optimistic (even if it does begin with the main characters feeling a little melancholy). As usual, I try to make the science in my science fiction as accurate as possible. No wild flights of fancy in my stories. I've finally changed the name from "Photosynthesis" to the more satisfactory "Breathe". If anybody cares to suggest something even better I would be very grateful. You would be credited in the acknowledgements. I've come up with more than a dozen names, but I'm not completely happy with any of them. Let me know what you think of the story. If you see any errors, please point them out to me so I can fix them. I'll be posting installments from time to time as I write them. I have most of the story mapped out already. Unlike many writers I don't seem to be able to fly by the seat of my pants. Mapping the story out in some detail seems to be a necessity for me. Enjoy.
