READING CLUB ESSAY - Weeks passed and nuclear radiation and bacteria did their jobs well. The people who had avoided the direct results of the bombs were slow- ly and surely being caught and killed by the floating ever -present killers which moved wherever there was air. They killed painlessly and smoothly, but also with the swiftness of an arrow in flight. The time came before long when this supposedly safe weapon had conquered both agressor and aggressed upon, not to speak of countless millions of innocent bystanders. Death was everywhere. Decaying corpses were scattered around the world, in towns, in cities, on the plains, on the mountains, and even in the jungles and deserts. All the hustle and bustle and noisy confusion of the human race was gone, and instead there was the quiet of a cemetery with only an occasional animal noise in the country outside of towns. The major part of the animal life left on the world was living in the jungle where man's influence had been least felt during his brief stay on the planet. In the jungle, also, was a group of apes wandering here and there. By chance they came near a wrecked airplane which, though they had no idea of it. was to change the lives of myriad generations of their descendants to come. This plane, which they stayed by for several days had been carrying an atomic scientist who had been trying to escape the plague and had not succeeded very well at all. In the plane the scientist had brought a quantity of radioactive substances well shielded with lead. When the plane had crashed, bad shielding split and radia- tion was being released at a high rate into the surrounding area. Many of the apes were not affected at all, but several of them - with no outward sign of change - were differentg for deep inside them in their reproductive glands, a small change had occurred and the seed of man was again put on the face of the earth by the strange hand of fate. Would he end as ignominiously as he had before, or would he rise to new heights and achieve the ends which he, alone, is capable of a- chieving?
