"Sometimes all the choices are bad ones. And not choosing isn't an option. At least you tried, where Sam would not."
She had once tried to map what something like the FAYZ would have been like on her world, and failed utterly. As soon as the adults were gone, she imagined, all of the children ten years and under would have been culled for food, and then the rest of the survivors would have turned on each other, fighting with hands and teeth and anything they could use as a weapon. The largest and fastest would have survived - one survivor. Until the call came, and they walked away and disappeared.
"We shall both become prize-winning horror novelists, rolling in money and groupies. And when people chirp, 'Where do you get your ideas?', our hands will shudder just-so, and we will whisper, 'You really don't want to know'."
