I Read Stories: Quietly Gigantic by K C Mead-Brewer

Quietly Gigantic by K C Mead-Brewer in Strange Horizons

At the end of the world the only thing left living might be roaches. Maya is staying in her friend Raimy’s house while she’s away and there’s a roach infestation to deal with. Their close friendship has survived several odd incidents and two of Raimy’s marriages.

This isn’t going to break their friendship, though the world itself might be broken.
