This cross-genre collection of twenty-five short stories and flash fiction pieces explores relationships and periods of transition.
A mother questions the limits of her responsibility to her husband and son. A man operates a leaf blower during Chinese New Year, leading to tragic consequences. In speculative stories, a demolition worker dreams of clean air while Kuala Lumpur decays, and a cooking robot attempts to perfect its fried rice for a grieving family.
These characters navigate displacement and uncertainties in pursuit of better lives.
