“It’s so beautiful in here, safe within the Dome.”
“It’s beautiful outside too, Dad!”
“Beautiful, but DEADLY. We got in here just in time. The atmosphere… TOXIC! The plant life… CARNIVOROUS!”
“But I can see people out there, Dad!”
“Monsters, sweetie. Cannibals! They’ll rip the FLESH from your BONES!”
“Whaaaaa!”
“Don’t scare the child, dear.”
“I’m only joshing! Look, I’ll pop outside. See? Perfectly… aaaaargghhh!”
“Hmm, looks like he was right after all. Back inside, kids. Looks like ‘Future EcoWorld Biodome’ is home now. Good job we dragged your Dad’s body back inside. Anyone for lunch? Tastes like chicken.”
“Hooray!”

Mother will always try to make the unavoidable seem palatable to the other members of the family. BTW from what I read, it’s more like pork… 😉

Dear Ali,
Guess who’s for dinner tonight. Your dad. Oh dear. Disturbing dystopian black humor.

Dear Rochelle,
Yes, it all went a bit wrong for dad. But on the bright side, the rest of the family is okay (for now)!
