Here we are once again to publish yet another excellent short story written by a contemporary Brazilian author. This time, we have the pleasure of featuring the work of Rubem Cabral, a software engineer born in Rio de Janeiro and living in Zurich, Switzerland.

We've selected "Christmas Eve on Easter" for its philosophical nature, taking a peak at a post-apocalyptic world through the eyes of an 11-year-old girl who is curious about "the plague" that decimated billions of people a hundred years before her time.

We hope you enjoy Rubem's work and feel free to comment on it.
