Abstract
The aim of this project is to explore the overlap between creative writing skills and engineering skills. This consists of research and formal analysis on a particular literary device (the depiction of nuclear weapons both directly as well as indirectly through metaphor), the creation of a short story using the ideas discovered in the research, and a short meta-analysis on how an engineering skill set applies to a creative writing project.
