A short story in the Next anthology from CSFG Publishing, available in paperback and electronic formats. The Canberra Speculative Fiction Guild are very active and hit way above their weight in the sf scene, although their goal of world domination is possibly a little optimistic.
The story is very loosely based on the myth of Bacchus and Ariadne.
Actually, world domination is inevitable. Bwahahah! Uh-hem. Sorry, got carried away.
Canberra falls first, militarised check points on all major roads. Tony A at Bungendore, “Please, it was just a momentary lapse. I knew who PKD was.”
