Stepping Stones of War is a short publication that explores an apocalyptic what if. The story begins with a chaotic emergency in which a family is frantically trying to escape the city to reach the grandparents house where an old bomb shelter is hidden. Evidentially, the United States government has suddenly and without warning drafted all adults leaving the children to fend for themselves.
Stepping Stones of War starts off with a lot of overwhelmingly hectic action. This leads the reader to immediately wonder what is happening, much like the characters. As the story progresses the reader gradually learns with the characters what has actually been happening and the seriousness of the situation. This aspect makes the reader want to continue turning pages.
