I feel I should aim at about 10,000 words or so - for CreateSpace, I need at least 24 pages (12 sheets of paper). My biggest problem is that I tend to write very short stories - in the original version of this, the two main sections (1 and 3) were about 2500 words each.

Maybe add in some sub-plot stories. That way if the book seems too thin you have something to help fill it out with. For example your adult characters see each other as monsters, but maybe some of the children from both groups see only an odd looking playmate and are afraid of losing their playmate if the adults find out what is going on.
