Apocalypse Quote by Benjamin Wallace
““Those lucky enough to survive the apocalypse developed an odd relationship with the world that was before the blast. Ready electricity and running water were sorely missed. They missed the security of a world free from vicious mutations and roving gangs of bloodthirsty killers. Everybody missed ice cream.””
