How to get home

Sixteen stories and a novella. In Open House, a couple play out their fantasy of owning a home by making offers for houses on sale, while in The Day After Tomorrow a bankrupt couple move into a motel to start life anew.

First sentence: Before I closed the picnic basket on the kitchen table, I looked in it again, touched each item one last time, my own inventory: cold fried chicken wrapped in tinfoil, two bananas, a thermos of milk, the near-empty box of Ritz crackers, six peanut butter cookies.
