DEAD END II

It's been several years since society collapsed due to a nuclear war, but I've lost track of the exact time. It feels like we've endured a dozen winters or so. I can sense the passage of time as the kids have grown up so much.

We've been living quietly, like mice in hiding. At least, that was the plan until the kids grew up. Not long ago, there seemed to be a group of humans forming not far from here. They either saw us as a threat or simply wanted to eliminate us, without even attempting to communicate. We could have coexisted, but now we can't stay silent anymore. They will pay the price.
