“I stopped here because I saw steam rising
from your roof.”
“That’s exhaust. You break in to
every house you find with a sign of life?”
“Well, technically yes. Yours was
the first I’ve seen, so I’m one for one.
How did you end up here? How did
you survive? Why didn’t you stick with
everyone else?”
“A
lot of questions, but they’re all basically the same one. One point for thoroughness.”
“Thanks.”
“Minus
two for redundancy.”

Mars by Branden Frankel)
