An Apocalyptic Christmas Short Story

Giant trapdoor spiders have launched an assault against the human race and appear to be winning the war. Civilization crumbles, and all hope begins to fade.

Nonetheless, even during these terrible times, Christmas still manages to arrive. John, trapped on a farm with his only surviving daughter, desperately tries to find a way to give his little girl some type of holiday joy. To his surprise, John soon discovers Christmas miracles might, in fact, be real as the perfect present arrives on their front doorstep.

The only problem is, he may have to race against time to salvage this miracle before the spiders snag it in their deadly traps...

I knew ;this was a short story, but when it ended as my heart started pumping with anticipation... I was wondering what would he find behind the trap door? I was shocked it was done. But then, given the circumstances of the entire story, I couldn't see any other conclusion. Good job Roma Gray. You kept me in suspense. That combined with the excellent narration and good writing style, earn it a five-star rating for me. Thanks for the opportunity to listen.

I almost didn't read this one. There is one thing in this world that scares me, and that is SPIDERS! If it was any longer, I might not have finished. I still have nightmares!

Anything but Spiders!

I was given a free copy of this audiobook for an honest review.

While it was sad, it was also a cool short story. It was a different take on the post-apocalyptic theme with the human race being killed off by spiders. I could see this being rewritten into a longer story and I'd be interested in listening/reading that! I'd recommend this to others.

Loved this story!
