The Flood

In a post-flood world, Philip Papp, resembling a melancholic version of Michelangelo's 'David', draws curious onlookers from his window. Meanwhile, Betty Swain, despite her arthritis, offers her skills freely, finding solace in helping grieving widowers. The narrative raises profound questions about the flood's origin, the fate of its victims, and whether societal norms like ambition and religion have been washed away forever. The story explores themes of loss, resilience, and the search for meaning in the aftermath of catastrophe.
