I’m sure you’re first thought upon reading the title, there goes ole DT, off on another weird subject.  Can’t help it, I like unusual subject matter, especially if it can relate to the dystopian, apocalyptic stories I write.  Summer is nearly over, but the Culicidae parasite is still in high season.  Plenty of biting insects fill the roster of least favorite critters in this world, but none are as universally despised by the global community than mosquitoes, or mozzies as the Aussies like to say.  In my latest tale, a future where humans teeter on the edge of extinction, our hero ponders why mosquitoes continue to have free reign of the environment when 95% of the human race has perished from a plague virus.

About DT

dtkrippene

dtkrippene

A native of Wisconsin and Connecticut, DT deserted aspirations of being a biologist to live the corporate dream and raise a family. After seven homes, a ten-year stint working in Asia, and an imagination that never slept, his muse refused to be hobbled as a mere dream. DT writes science fiction, paranormal, and mystery. DT has published several short stories. “Hell of a Deal” in the paranormal collection - Untethered; “Man’s Best Friend” in the 2021 Best Indie Book for Fiction - Fur, Feathers, and Scales; and "The Lost Gold of Rhyolite" in the award-winning - An Element of Mystery. He now has two short stories in the newly released holiday anthology – Seasons Greetings; “The Heart Needs a Home” and “Millie’s Christmas Wine.” An active member of the Bethlehem Writers Group, he’s been a featured author in the BWG Writers Roundtable Magazine. His latest project is an apocalyptic tale of humans on the edge of extinction and a young man born years after surviving humans had been rendered sterile. You can find D.T. on his website, dtkrippene.com - Searching for Light in the Darkness; and his social media links on Facebook and Pinterest.
