  a quick read. unique.

When a drunken prophet in Scotland’s roughest town predicts a coming Apocalypse, no one takes much notice. After all, not one of the prophet’s previous prognostications has come true. But five days later, events appear to be unfolding exactly as prophesied. A certain tonic wine, which is implicated in the majority of violent crimes committed in Scotland, plays a pivotal role in proceedings, as do two otherworldly visitors.

This short story is both a humorous piece of fiction and a social commentary on contemporary culture in the west of Scotland. Like our whiskies, it comes with a kick.
