Each story is unique and unrelated with a wide variety of voices from teenagers and young adults who chronicle their experiences throughout 2020. Some stories are set in Singapore, two in London; others are dystopian, timeless, and placeless. The stories are not about CoViD <em>per se</em>, but about the constraints that the lockdown introduced. Zia's previous work is broad-ranging, spanning probability, small towns in Asia, parenting special needs children, innovation culture, and hockey. </p><p><br></p><ol><li><em>Locked Down</em> is a story of a handicapped boy who hasn't left his house.</li><li><em>Love in the Time of Corona</em> is a classic love story of two high school seniors separated by the pandemic.</li><li><em>Dormitory</em> is a story about migrant workers and how they are invisible in society until they aren't .</li><li><em>By Design</em> is about a young designer who enters a surreal art competition.</li><li><em>An Understatement</em> is about a poet struggling to find their voice during the pandemic.</li><li><em>Drumroll</em> is a dialogue between two friends, one who is hospitalized.</li><li><em>Mid-Canopy in Midtown</em> is about dealing with grief and new hope. </li><li><em>Circuit Breaker</em> is a musing about a different type of lockdown.</li><li><em>29,727 Reasons to Pay Attention</em> looks for clues for CoViD in outer space.</li><li><em>No Exit</em> is a quintessential story about quarantine and loneliness.</li></ol><p><br></p>
