"The Chemistry of Unhappiness" by Erin MacNair is a dystopian tale where humans fall victim to their own emotional states, a silent attack from the inside out can unexpectedly cause you to freeze up or burn to ash. But... there might just be a cure to save us. It was runner up in EVENT magazine’s 2019 speculative fiction contest.
Erin is a published non-fiction and fiction short story writer. Her work has appeared in The Walrus, Room Magazine, EVENT and other journals and anthologies. She has an upcoming speculative fiction piece in the Spring Issue of Prairie Fire magazine. She is currently working on a book of fictional short stories and a novel, and infrequently pens a blog: “Views from the Obtuse Angle.” Visit her website www.erinmacnair.com, for more of her work.

I love the “cold open” where the fact people may flame out or freeze solid is just a fact of life. The connection between a sudden demise and our underlying psyche is a brilliant device. This story pairs well with The Falling for how we react to unpredictable and unconventional pandemics. Great work!
