Background This short story interrogates how cultural and social understandings of the shift away from carbon-based energy resources operates as a function of the tension between teleological and teleonomic (time-based) understandings of what it means for something (in this case, oil as a highly valued energy resource) to come to an end. To this extent, the story is an example of eco-critical writing, especially to the degree that such literature engages with issues of energy-resource transition and fears of 'running out'. Contribution The particular novelty of the story's approach to the research problem outlined above lies in its unpacking of how the cultural nature of time itself, within Western thought, stymies more innovative (less binary) ways of thinking about energy-resource transition. Significance The story is published in an international journal of literature whose editorial board boasts key figures in the field including Bill Ashcroft and John Kinsella. It was also shortlisted for the ‘My Brother Jack’ Short Story Award Category, 2001 Glen Eira Literary Awards, Judges: Arnold Zable and Stephanie Holt.Publication classification
