Human kindness (Strong/Erickson/Gracie)

   (For correspondence and updates, please go to : https://ricebowl70.blogspot.com/2025/08/updates.html ) As a long-time dweller of the wasteland you had come to grow used to the lack of water, the desert having long since consumed the entire country, the majority of plant life being kept alive by the bare minimum of water that existed embedded in the ground. It was even rarer to have any rain with you having seen a storm maybe once or twice, sheltering from it because you imagined it had to be radioactive, hearing the sound of the water batter against the roof, rolling off the metal. So when you eventually found your way to the border and found the ocean you were pleasantly surprised to  see so much water especially given it meant you could set up some desalination plants and allow for crops to be watered and people to have a decent source of water.

Please post to Nightmare waifus.) It was 2AM, the moon was high in the sky and your night shift had just ended. All things considered being a night guard wasn’t the hardest job especially since you clocked in after closing time and left at a point where you’d be waking up before noon so you could do something with your day. It helped that the mall you were protecting wasn’t exactly the most alive place, being filled with fast food joints and a few shops which meant there wasn’t much to steal and the shops that were there had much easier to steal from analogs outside the store.
