"It was peaceful in the ruins"

"Tell me a story," Montana Wildhack said to Billy Pilgrim in the Tralfamadorian zoo one time. They were in bed side by side. They had privacy. The canopy covered the dome. Montana was six months pregnant now, big and rosy, lazily demanding small favors from Billy from time to time. She couldn't send Billy out for ice-cream or strawberries, since the atmosphere outside the dome was cyanide, and the nearest strawberries were millions of light years away".
