"2012" is an anthology of near-future SF edited by Alisa Krasnostein and Ben Payne. It's an interesting concept, near-future SF, because you seek inspiration from the world around you, as it is.
As I've said many times, I'm often driven to write a story based on what I read in the Guardian newspaper. It's not a happy paper. I read it with my notebook and pen by my side because there is always something to feel angry about, something to be outraged by, something to feel helpless about.
"Ghost Jail" was inspired partly by the setting in Fiji, and partly what I read in the newspapers. You can read the first bit of it over here:

It gets nasty from there! The opening was inspired by the graveyard in Suva. Here are a couple of pictures, though it's hard to capture the colour, the decay and the small signs of care.
