I'd guess that the children of that other domestic incarnation are the
things that'll be created with the metal, and my understanding of
smokeshriek was that it was that unexpected scream you hear when you burn
something with metal in it that you didn't know had metal in it, something
that'll be in the toys, tools, et c of the future, the hidden resonance of
these war things, always there.
