PermanenceBy Tom Underhill
A small group of people are stranded on a deserted island with plenty of available resources leaving too much free time on their hands. As their captain seems to go crazy the crew begins to find conflicts amongst their selves.
Another short story masterfully brought to life by Tom Underhill. Instead of this one having a supernatural or sinister angle it is simply the human mind and what we are capable of which is sometimes more intriguing. I wish the author would take this story and expound on it into a full novel I would love to be able to have more details for this one.
I was sent a free copy of this story for review.

Permanence A Short Story edition by Nick Wisseman Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
An especially well-contained short story. I cared enough to wonder about the characters and what happens at the end (if they really make the right decision), but it stood so well on its own that I didn't need it. This was a very satisfying read. Underhill has a very deft hand at demonstrating rather than telling, and this just left me very satisfied--not awestruck, but solid and complete.
In Permanence several people, during a war are crashed on a desert island. The questions of what war they were involved in or where there are are not answered. Instead the author focuses on how they act as they believe that no one will arrive to rescue them and the story is told through a combo of diary entries and through the point of view of one of the castaways who was injured. The author uses the interpersonal aspects of the group and the oddly distorted point of view of their injured group member for the focus of this story. Permanence is slightly confusing, and somewhat chaotic but it manages to fit together nicely into a cohesive work.
Disclaimer PDF was obtained from author for a honest review.
Imagine being stranded on an island. You don't know where you are or why you are there besides the fact that there was a war. One of your comrades is severely injured an mute. You don't know if he will recover.
You all have to try to get along so surviving is easier. All you have is a journal to document your thoughts. Will anyone read it? Will those be your last words ever documented? Or will you be rescued?
That is the journey that this story takes you on.
I liked how we got to see everyone's perspective of their stay on the island through the journal. That made this story more interesting.
4/5 stars. The characters were well developed, but I didn't really care what happened to them. I didn't find them likable.
I think the appeal of the post-apocalyptic genre is that it helps us believe that no matter how dire, human spirit and ingenuity can and will prevail. (Of course, that requires not thinking too hard about what got the world to that point in the first place.) Permanence tells such a story, does it well, and in very few words. That last point is what stood out for me. Like the best and most meaningful song lyrics, Wisseman's words manage to say a lot in a short space by allowing us to read between the lines, giving us just what we need to understand, and nothing more. It's a rare talent.
