Unsettling and very depressing, Dmitry. All those post-apocalyptic stories are horrid in their own way, but this was extra painful as the main characters were kids. Your story reminded me of the movie The Blue Lagoon from 1980. Two teenagers stranded on a deserted island and tried to cope with the situation the best they could. They even had a baby of their own, and at some point they saw no other way out, and decided to end their lives by eating some poisonous berries …

Thank you! I love evoking emotions in readers.
But in “The Blue Lagoon” (part two), the heroes actually survived. In my story – no. No chance 😉

I agree with Al this was unsettling. Well written and conveyed allot not leaving the mind to wonder what happened next.
