520    A woman's fortitude saves her village from disaster. A 
       teenager explores their identity in a moment of quiet. A 
       petition writer reflects on his life as a dog lies nursing
       her puppies. A tormented girl tries to find love through a
       horrific act. A headmaster makes his way to work, treading
       the fine line between life and death. Eighteen writers 
       tell stories that are both unique and universal - stories 
       of family, work, childhood, friendship, war, gender 
       identity and cultural traditions
