Just Passing Through
"Just Passing Through" is a story by Juliet Kemp in the anthology Tales of the Civil War edited by Philip Purser-Hallard for Obverse Books.

Synopsis
War brings out the worst in people, and not just on the front lines. Even moreso when it is a war involving the sum totality of humanity after nearly 300 years of enforced peace and non-violence. Once war broke out in the City, every greedy individual, every opportunist and every sheister finds room to act.

However, when the worst of humanity is given reign, the best of humanity will always shine through.
