Kurt Newton's field of expertise (health physics) made him an essential worker during this season of Covid-19. Every morning, during this crisis, as he drove the empty streets to work, listening to the radio as the world turned more and more bizarre, his writer's mind could not help but wonder about all the what ifs this pandemic had yet to reveal. When Kurt's not riffing on the present apocalypse, he's writing other works, some of which can be found at Frozen Wavelets and Cosmic Horror Monthly.
