A Science Fiction Short Story Collection
When the world ends, the noise fades.
What remains are the people who have to live through the silence.
In The Night and the Dawn, Todd Marc delivers a collection of character-driven science fiction stories set in fractured futures-after the collapse, after the war, after the systems fail. These are not tales of grand heroes or shining fleets.
They are stories about survival.
An old man walks back through a shattered gate with a backpack full of cans.
A wounded soldier fights to live long enough to hear his newborn daughter cry.
A lone survivor questions his own memory in a world poisoned by radiation.
Ordinary people make impossible choices-without certainty, without guarantees.
Some battles are loud.
Some victories are quiet.
Sometimes just making it to morning is enough.
Blending dystopian tension with emotional depth, The Night and the Dawn explores endurance, responsibility, redemption, and the fragile hope that survives even when everything else falls apart.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Post-apocalyptic survival fiction
- Thoughtful, character-focused sci-fi
- Quiet dystopian stories with emotional weight
- Short fiction that lingers after the final page
The night is long.
But dawn is always possible.
