No Cause For Alarm Anthology A project of Pinko Press (see other related projects). About Write us a story in which catastrophe has been absorbed into the fabric of ordinary life. Not catastrophe as plot, but as background. The flooding that is mildly inconvenient. The extinction that registers as admin. The end of something vast, received as nothing in particular.We want fiction that has internalised the flatness, the shrug, the mild continuing-on.
