Mom and dad died. Most of the adults died. Those adults who survived all went blind. We found out that they needed us, needed our ability to see, so badly that they were willing to take us from our homes and lock us up in chains. We learned we were strong and smart enough to escape. We learned to run from adults, and in many cases we taught them to run from us.

A world run by kids is a scary place to live. There are diseases, wild animals and traps. There are cults, gangs and rogue military units. And then there are kids. Sometimes kids can be mean, and that can be dangerous. And sometimes kids try to do what they think is the right thing, and that can be even worse.
