Monster Lungs 2071: Every Brilliant Thing People, Places, and Things to Hold onto When Life Gives You the Blues

In the year 2071, the world is a very different place. The human race has been ravaged by a deadly virus, and the few survivors are left to fend for themselves in a world that is both familiar and strange. In the midst of this chaos, one young woman, Anya, is determined to find beauty in the ruins. She begins to collect a list of "brilliant things" that she can hold onto when life gets tough.

Anya's list is full of simple things, like the smell of fresh rain, the sound of children laughing, and the feeling of sunlight on her skin. But it also includes more abstract things, like the hope that she can find love again, the faith that she can survive, and the belief that the human race can rebuild.
