Bomb Shelter Noel



Here's a piece I created for Playboy magazine. The short story is titled "Bomb Shelter Noel" and was written by Thom Jones. It's a holiday story about a 16 year old girl who is type 1 diabetic and also has  hyperglycemic unawareness. She hosts her own radio show out of her bomb shelter basement, where she speaks about survival techniques, her love of astronomy, and plays classical music. Floating  in the painting around her are things from the story...her goldfish, the dialysis machine, a friend who also does dialysis and is a stripper, and the warm coat she wants to buy for herself at goodwill. The full story will be published in the Dec issue of Playboy.
