Dear Mom and Dad.

My phone died last night. I've been trying to get the radio in the car working to catch some news, but I think it must be dead. The car starts, so I guess maybe the car always had a problem with the radio? The fighting is closer now. There are gunshots on what sounds like the next street over, and I've counted four explosions from… something. Could be mutants, could be grenades or explosives of some kind, not sure. I've been thinking about trying to move us somewhere safer, but it sounds even more dangerous out there.
