   Stories

   

   In a series of interconnected, darkly comic stories, the world reels after the literal death of God, and people scramble to fill the spiritual void with improvised belief systems—from the worship of children to the elevation of therapy as sacrament. As institutions collapse and new dogmas arise, ordinary lives intersect with sweeping cultural upheaval, revealing grief, absurdity, cruelty, and tenderness in equal measure. The result is a provocative portrait of humanity searching for meaning, community, and a moral compass when the ultimate source of authority is gone.
