It's the End of Civilization as we know it. A mutagenic plague followed by a global war fought with disintegration weaponry has left much of the Earth a desert of fine powder and what remains of humanity fragmented into humans, animal-like mutants and bloodthirsty monstrosities with lots of teeth. The surface, still teeming with the mutagenic virus, has become the domain of the dreaded Topsiders; well-organized, technologically advanced, and heavily armed un-mutated humans sworn to exterminate mutations of any kind in order to clear the way for the eventual resurgence of a new, genetically clean humanity. Faced with annihilation, mutants and "impure" humans have retreated into the depths of the planet to form communities and hope to win, or at least survive, what may prove to be mankind's final war. Endtown is the continuing story of one of those communities.

Amazed they didn’t just lock him up or shoot him on the spot.

Good calls on Wally. Agree with Jayce, though. Why isn’t Wally tossed in with them, or dead?

@Jayce_C
It wouldn’t fit in the storyline.
I was wrong. Veteran was right. Wally may have found his strong man, but in the wrong way.
BTW, the attic is a good name for that area.

Endtown is quickly becoming a fascism. They need to get out of this town quickly before it’s to late and they’re not permitted to.
He who trades his freedom for security deserves neither.

Go get those rats, Doc! Yup, it’s about time someone with medical knowledge set human/mutant records straight. Humanity and compassion isn’t a physical body, it’s a mindset.

Two black eyes. OUCH. I think that fumigating the attic is a very good idea. Lets grab a few rat tails and cut them off. Blind or not. Have we ever just assumed that all morphsas were human? Could some of the animals we know like “rats” might have gained some and I mean only some,, intelligence?Thank heavens for Docrat to put a heavier weight on the other end of the teetertotter.. A hug for you Jenner.
Blessed Be

Now, how many of you still think Wally ever had a chance at breaking Holly out of the brigg?

Warning message to everyone else in the colony that may want to try to tangle with the rats.

Don’t forget how hair-trigger the security rats are. In the earliest story, when Al was departing to go out on a mission, they were very close to shooting him dead (for not taking them seriously when he returned from his previous misison). Okay, at that time, it was the theater of the absurd. But their behaviour now, in this darker story, is consistent with how they behaved then.

It’s not that we thought he had a chance; it’s that we knew what he would TRY.

But we haven’t seen what shape the rats are in after this…
