Pumpkin and the Pocket Watch

By Hanson Hovell Holladay

A product of the horrors of the First World War, "Pumpkin and the Pocket Watch" follows a dog through the ruins of an unknown European City under invasion. Severely malnourished, scarred and infected, Pumpkin does what she can to stay clear of the shadows, artillery barrages, and any form of, regardless of nationality, Humankind - for all humans are monsters of war and chaos. And yet, there is a spec of light within the infinite space of darkness that is Our species.

Holladay holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing for Entertainment from Full Sail University, where he was distinguished for his exceptional creativity with three Course Director Awards and the Advanced Achievement Award. His intimate knowledge of twentieth century warfare and attention to historical detail lend an authenticity to his work.Holladay’s works have been published in both electronic magazines and anthologies in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
