As a visually impaired person I've often thought of myself as one of the first to die in an apocalyptic setting. But when you stop to think about it, apocalypses can be as complicated and diverse as real life and there's a place in them for the skills and abilities of people with some impairment or other.

There is a real life story about a blind person that lead a group of people out of the world trade center with his guide dog through the dark stairway during 9/11.

I found the short story collection to be a great format for this subject. I was treated to a number of possible scenarios, some I thought more likely than others, instead of a single novel with one scenario that may not have sounded plausible to me.
