Author's Note:
This short story is my entry for the Cynthell's LOTQ Writing Contest.
https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/lotq-writing-contest.19322/
To participate in this contest, one must adhere to the theme of "After the End" and not exceed a certain word count.
I used the Cyberpunk tag since the Steampunk tag is not present. I hope it will be inserted soon.
"After The Fall of The Under House" is a short story of about 10k words divided into five chapters.
If it proves successful, I may decide to expand and continue it.
Please, if you enjoyed the story, leave a like or a comment to help me in the contest competition. I thank you in advance for reading.
I dedicate this story to Cynthell and Megumi who through the interactions I had with them inspired me in writing it.
