by Wendy Rathbone (Author)

In a post-holocaust world, a young woman and her robot partner leave their nomadic gang to take a long trek on foot to the city of Moltenrose to seek their fortune. Green Forever is a coming of age novella about love, death and making your own luck. In the story Moltenrose, a deformed man whose nickname is 'Ugly' lives in the shadowed ruins of the barely-alive city and works in a sideshow at the tourist-trap carnival at the edge of town. His story involves several 'firsts' including a lesson about beauty.
