The Nuclear Issue
how i spent my nuclear winter

Today, Mommy and me left the shelter. Daddy and Suzy stayed behind. Daddy was yelling something about “letting us die as an example.” I think that made Mommy upset. She was crying, but I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because we had to eat Grandma last Thursday. I don’t think so, though, because she was really tasty.

This is so fun! Mommy said we can really enjoy ourselves now that Daddy isn’t here. She was crying when she said this, though - maybe it was some kind of silly joke or something. Anyways, I got to play in a big snow pile today! It was awesome! What was really cool was that the snow was all black and sticky, so it was even better for fort-making. I threw a snowball at Mommy, but she just kept crying.

Mommy always said the Steinbergs had a really nice house, which is good because that’s where we’re living now. She said something about “plundering,” which I guess is what grown-ups call playing scavenger hunt all day. I’m awful hungry, and that black snow isn’t very tasty. It sure makes my mouth feel funny though, like pop rocks, but with a lot more tar.

Hooray! Just when I thought things couldn’t get any better, my best friend Timmy showed up! He wasn’t moving very much, but I can’t really blame him – he doesn’t have feet. He didn’t say much either, which Mommy says it’s because he was just so happy to see me. He smelled pretty bad, and had all of these weird bugs crawling up his nose. It looked like they tickled, but he didn’t laugh. Ever.

Today is my birthday! Mommy said we couldn’t have a cake, since there isn’t any food. I ate a lot of black snow though! We had a party, which was a lot of fun. We went to this big heap of broken stuff and tried to find presents. I found a kitty. I’m going to name him Steve. He and Timmy get along real well. They just sit and stare at each other for hours. I tried to stare too, but my eyes hurt after five minutes without blinking. How do they do that?

Mommy keeps talking about “radiation,” which I guess is some kind of fancy radio. She probably just wants one because she’s so bored. All she does is sleep, and she cries when I ask her questions. She never wants to play any more. She also cries whenever she sees me eat the black snow. Or play with Timmy. Or ask her about Daddy. Or ask her to play. Or ask for more food. Or go to sleep. Or wake up. Or laugh. Or pet Steve. Or pet Timmy. Mommy’s funny that way.

Cool! Today I found a really big metal egg! It was big and grey and red and had all this funny writing on it. Mommy screamed when she saw me playing with it, said it was a bomb, but I don’t think she was right, because I’ve seen bombs before, and this one wasn’t round and black with a string coming out the top. All I know is there was all this crazy green glowy stuff inside, which is so cool! Don’t tell Mommy (how could you, you’re a diary! haha), but I took some and kept it in my pocket. I tasted some, and it was like eating a rock that made my mouth all tingly.

I wish we had more green stuff, because we had to eat one of my legs today. It tasted pretty good, I guess. I had to do all of the cooking myself, because Mommy already ate her hands. It’s fun, because I always beat her in rock-paper-scissors now.

Wowie zowie! Skiing is fun! I went skiing today! Yay! Well, it wasn’t skiing as much as it was falling off the roof, but it was really fun anyway. Also, Mommy died.
