A post-apocalyptic short story set in a bunker, almost like a short play featuring a woman and man who are part of a survivalist community; and a stranger from Outside.

THE MOON
IS GREEN
By FRITZ LEIBER
Anybody who wanted to escape death could, by paying a very simple price—denial of life!
Illustrated by DAVID STONE
