520 |a "A harried and depressed mother of three young children serves on a committee that watches over the bottomless sinkhole that has appeared in her Kentucky town. During COVID lockdown, a 34-year-old gamer moves back home with his parents and is revisited by his long-forgotten childhood "imaginary" friend. A politician running for a state congressional seat and a young mother, who share the same set of fears about the future, cross paths--but don't fully understand one another. A woman attends a party at the home of a fellow church parishioner and discovers she is on the receiving end of a sales pitch for a doomsday prepper MLM. These stories and others contemplate our current reality with both frankness and hard-earned hopefulness, realism and fabulism, tackling parenthood, environment, and the absurd-but-unavoidable daily toil of worrying about mundane matters, such as career successes and social status, when you're also worrying about the survival of your species"--  |c Provided by publisher.
