To try to present the topic of family dysfunction in a new light, families dealing with death, addiction, sickness, cheating, and divorce were written into a fictional post-apocalyptic world. This suspension of reality revealed the usual dysfunctions in a new light and so made them interesting again. The collection of short stories created contains interrelated stories that each individually followed a character through a pivotal moment in their life. During the collection's creation the author learned about the writing process extolled in multiple craft books as well as what worked best for herself. The finished product could be submitted as a collection or as individual stories to literary journals and competitions for publication.
