For some reason, I want to compare this to The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, or include it in that same metaverse, where existing is a dog eat dog reality, but from the perspective of one of the women “taken in” by a clan or w/e you want to call it (from The Road narrative) for the purposes of breeding/providing food for everyone… maybe it’s cuz I read these very close to one another, they just seem starkly similar in a weird way…

It is good thought training for when society collapses for sure :D lemme just go store my eggs somewhere safe JUST IN CASE. Or be wary of every evangelist I meet who happens to be carrying a machine gun….
