After the Apocalypse

Hello survivors. Happy Thanksgiving!

Let me say, first of all, that I have been dying to use the phrase “Arms akimbo” in a story my whole life.

I’m going to stop right there before I start waxing poetically about Richard III and Henry IV and Iambic Pentameter.

All in good time.

Back to the story…
