Keywords were: Obtaining – Road Warrior – Cathedral. Sounded like something out of dot.hack . XD

I like it. Post-apocalyptic fiction seems a tired genre, but I like to think there is plenty of life left in it.

I like the little bit of hope that this story has.

The mentor’s comments seemed a little ‘off’ somehow. We usually think of mentors as being sagelike and well spoken. This one seems at a loss for words and scattered. Plus, saying ‘dunno’ just makes it sound like the narrator is listening to a buddy and not a mentor.

I really liked the “better than a liter of water” line. Great sentiment.

Thanks, southside!

Also, Mentors can be all sorts. I liked the Idea of an old, burned-out biker who has world-smarts but not necessarily the best with words.
