The anthology would feature short stories (approx. 10k) that all begin at New York's Grand Central Station on the very same date, just after World War II has ended. This year's 100th anniversary of Grand Central has kindled a new interest not just in the beautiful building itself but also in the millions of people that have passed through the cavernous hallways and turnstiles; along with their stories. This anthology shines a spotlight on a moment of great power and possibility when the war was over; and the world was about to be changed-forever.
