The Biped

Notes from the Director of the Salvage Insurance Bureau

Graph paper featuring the label 'Handinote LEGAL' in the top left with a small stamp reading 'SALVAGE INSURANCE BUREAU' with an image of a green lamp of some kind.   The document has a large yellow note taped to the top center with most of the words redacted except
"Have you ever been to the memorial museum in district 4?

I chaperoned a field trip for my kid's class few years back.

These kids, all born after the war, y'know? I'll never forget it - one of em - all bright eyed and hopped up on the cafeteria soda - he peers up at the rebuilt display model of these motherfuckers and says it, and I quote 'doesn't look as scary as the stories made it'

and y'know what?

I felt relief.

An entire generation is never gonna have to know what it was like running from these things."
