The Collapse of Society

The world around ten-year-old Sunni Brown is crumbling. War, disease and crushing poverty are everyday realities. For a while, she counts herself amongst the lucky. But will she survive when she's forced to live in an abandoned parking structure?

The Shelter by SunHi Mistwalker is a prequel to the novella, New Hope City. This short story reveals how Sunni's childhood quickly falls apart, as America suffers a socio-economic collapse. With an absent father, a drug-addicted mother and predators all around her, the little girl soon finds herself exploited for scraps of food.

The story is a great intro to Sunni's coming of age, but also functions well as a stand-alone story. Mistwalker provides disturbing insight into an issue already taking place in the States.
