“You don’t have to follow it exactly. If you stick to the main paths, you’ll be all right. If you get thirsty, these buildings with the little wave markings are the water distribution centers. Oh, and this area right here, south of the western health center? You might want to stay out of that.”

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” they said.

And so they did, but there were too many lemons, and too much lemonade. Supply exceeded demand, and all the lemonade stands closed. Things were worse than before.

“When life gives you lemons,” they said…”

It wasn’t just the slightly deranged smile that made him look like a maniac. The sheen of sweat on his brow and the gleam in his eyes weren’t helping.
Still. That crazed energy of his was infectious- making her believe anything really was possible.
Above them, the moon was a knife-sharp sliver in the dark sky, balancing on a point that looked like it might sweep down like a scythe at any moment. Danger.
Adventure.
Was there really any difference?

"Crawl a_way, you say! No siree, I'll march out the front door, head held high, thank you very much."

"Then what? It ovs wasn't the first time?"

“You are the man responsible for the death of my father. You have a long way to go before you earn my respect.”

“Tell me lies,” the boy called out.
She glanced back at him, fingers already numb. He sat on the bank with his knees drawn up to his body, face serious in a way a child their age seldom was.
