Look Alive, Sunshine

In a 1995 Ford Explorer two sisters sit in the front seat. The younger one, aged 16 is driving while the oldest, aged 21 is fiddling with the radio.

"Just find a rock station." The youngest one told her sister.

"Lydia, I got it." Katie told her sister while rolling her eyes.

They heard the opening licks of Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills.

Lydia had blonde hair and was styled in a bob. Katie had recently dyed her hair red and the roots were black. When they escaped Wisconsin when it was taken over by BL Industries they decided to change their appearances. Their parents died in a fire and their brother died trying to protect them from the dracs. During the middle of the song the radio station changed and Lydia got pissed.

"What the hell? Katie I told you not to fuss with the knob when I'm driving."

"I didn't touch it."

"Sure. If you didn't. Then who did?"

They both looked at the horizon when they heard a man speaking on the radio.

"Look alive, Sunshine. 109 in the sky but the pigs won't quit. You're here with me Dr. Death Defying. I'll be your surgeon, your proctor, your helicoptor. Pumpin' out the slaughtermatic sounds to keep you alive. Louder than God's revolver and twice as shiny. This one's for all of you rock 'n' rollers. All you crash queens and motor babies. Listen up! The future is bulletproof! The aftermath is secondary! It's time to do it now and do it loud! Killjoys make some noise!"

"Killjoys?" Lydia asked confused. "What the heck are killjoys? Are they associated with Better Living Industries?"

"I don't think so." Katie told her little sister.

"Sorry to interrupt the radio waves but it for a great fucking reason. This is Dr. Death Defying and if you are listening to this you know that we are currently at war against Better Living Industries. We need all the people that we can to protect the helpless and the people who can't defend themselves. If anybody listening to this wants to join the revolution there are a ton of us in the fucking desert. Have your battery packs ready and your ray guns close. Because you never know when you might get ghosted."

"We need to help. Others shouldn't have to feel the pain that we felt because of that fucking corporation!" Katie said angrily.

Lydia looked at her sister and changed course and headed towards the barren desert.
