This story is about a pair of prisoners who are being transported across a wasteland. When the male prisoner attempts to assault the female prisoner, he is set free and told to run, which brings us to this page.

I find this storyline interesting because it’s one of the few times that I can remember Heavy Metal running a story that is actively anti-assault. On those rare occasions where assault is condemned, it’s usually after the assault has occured and the condemnation is more token and verbal than anything else.
