A Storybook of Culling, by David R. Cole

In the year 2095, the devastating effects of climate change persist despite global efforts to mitigate their impact. Set in the Persianized city of Sal’lad, this tale explores the collision of two disparate narratives within the same tumultuous backdrop.

An academic finds himself ensnared in a perilous liaison with a captivating Persian woman, while behind the scenes, a clandestine society orchestrates what they believe to be the greatest act in human history.

As the twenty-first century lurches from crisis to crisis, humanity remains mired in unresolved turmoil. Unbeknownst to the world, a secret society devises a solution to the planet’s woes. Yet, their plans are shrouded in mystery, guarded by the threat of death for any who dare to speak of them.

Navigating the treacherous landscape of impending catastrophe and lost love, only the innocence of a childlike consciousness may comprehend the precipice of these singularly horrific acts. This is a Storybook of Culling—a tale of heartbreak and the chilling rationalization of acts too unspeakable to fathom.
