The Big Tide Chronicles I
Who Killed Toby Ireland?
by Jerry Buckley
During a six-month period of time in 2024 the world changed. An aquatic blitzkrieg, slowly building over decades, unleashed itself. Furthermore, from the time of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-19th century, on average, sea level had risen a little over a tenth of an inch each year or about one foot per century. In addition to this, throughout the 20th century, the increasing glacier melt in the Arctic, Antarctic, and Greenland hastened that rise.

The Big Tide Chronicles II
Bone Island Blues
by Jerry Buckley
In the early 1970s, Charles River Laboratories brought 1,000 rhesus monkeys to the Florida Keys. The facility, housed on two islands, was used to breed monkeys for research purposes globally. Furthermore, rumors ran rampant in the 1980s of genetic experiments being performed on Lois Key. Company attorneys absolutely denied the allegations, but the rumors persisted. In the late 1990s, litigation forced the Big Pharma giant to close its facilities and remove the monkeys from the Keys. Nonetheless, after the Big Tide in 2024, odd reports of strange, man-like creatures plundering abandoned houses began to emerge from the backcountry. Even so, most people wrote it off as an “urban legend.”
