I couldn’t tell which. But I think you’re right. It’s one or the other.” “I don’t know what to do.” Iris paced back and forth, looking at all of the true images, growing stranger and more upsetting as the months passed. “If we go up there with food riots just a few hours away, we might not ever get back. I don’t know what the hell the two of us could do about this anyway.” “How long since you’ve heard from your parents?” Gena caught Iris’s hand, then pulled her into a hug. “The phones have been out for the last couple of weeks.” Iris? let out her breath in a rush, trying not to cry. “They had it pretty bad over the winter.
