Grande Cache would be okay compared to most places in the world because we're small so we wouldn't start rioting like in the cities, and many of us are used to living off the land already. We'd organize and form a tribal society, we'd have to hunt and gather and sit around fires because we've lost television, that sort of thing."

    "Cool," thought eleven-year-old Robin.
