My 3 stories appear across this Dystopia Triptych:
Lyceum
Survival Guide
Sakura
My approach was to tell a story about how dystopia feels — through the emotion of grief. Florizell Ito, an AI programmer and owner of Sakura Labs, loses her son to a car accident. What emerges from that is in part because of her grief. “Lyceum” is told through her POV. “Survival Guide” is told through the son’s best friend’s POV, and “Sakura” is told through the son’s father’s POV. I really fell in love with these characters.
