Joey was independent, but the other kids weren't s easy going. Most orphaned by the war, other runaways. Some were very right or left wing about the war, wanting to rid the world of wizards or wanting rid the world of war. Most simply didn't care, and simply wanted a chance at life again. Joey was like that. He raced down what once used to be a street block, hiding behind rubble and under cars, darting between them.
