As a kid who was already under a lot of stress (being sexually trafficked and what not) I was exposed, one fine Sunday night, on the Ed Sullivan show to a lengthy series of black and white drawings, backed by ominous music, of what the world would look like after “the bomb dropped.”
I can still see the images in my minds eye.

I was TERRIFIED… and remained so for years.

I know how those kids feel and my heart is worth every one of them… though I’m sure that the idea that most likely they’ll live to get to live through it all over again is that compelling.
