Armageddon's Children
“Daylight was failing and darkness closing all about the countryside as he drove west out of Iowa into whatever lay beyond—he couldn’t remember and didn’t care to stop long enough to check maps that no longer had relevance—when he saw the glow of the watch fires burning on the horizon like a second setting of the sun. Crimson against the pale shading of twilight, the glow drew his attention instantly, signaling its presence in a way that all but invited him in for a closer look. He had seen this... glow before—in other times, at other camps—and he realized quickly enough what it was and drove toward it.Darkness had fallen completely by the time he arrived at a dirt road that led in from the main highway, driving the S-150 with the lights off and the big engine idled down to a low hum.
