When the first bombs dropped it was like a dream...it couldn't be real...could it? We had enough of a warning to make it to bunkers and safe houses, but when the EMP kicked off it jolted everything...lights, cars, scooters. So many were stuck, stranded outside when it all happened. So many hippos...gone in a flash. As we emerged we quickly realized our rations were scarce...and seemingly all there was to eat...was cooked ham.
