About this listen

No declaration of war or acts of aggression have been made against our nation. Our military is on the highest alert. We will do everything in our power to protect our people.... What I say next is of the most importance. We must remain calm. I cannot express this enough. This is integral to our future and way of life. As we get more information, we will be in contact with broadcasts like this one. Let me assure you, your nation and this government has made prior arrangements for this awful circumstance we find ourselves in. All will be taken care of. We as a people have always managed in times of adversity; let me once again assure you, we are doing all we can. Keep calm and carry on, Britain....

This is a short story in post-apocalyptic world, following two men on their 20-mile struggle back to their hometown to make sure their families are okay.
