War.
The dictionary states that the word "war" refers to a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations. It can also be described as armed fighting between two or more countries or groups. As if boxing it into a dictionary makes it any less monstrous.
So, if it never changes... why should we?
That's a question that plagues the people in this era. This broken, forsaken era of 6028, where innocent people are killed daily and the government is corrupt.
Let me fill you in, in the early ages of technology, the people had tried developing bombs, more specifically, Nuclear Weapons, in July 16, 1945, The Trinity Test was the first successful Nuclear Weapon and by the end of the first nuclear era, over 80,000 civilians were killed. After that humanity was divided, from the Pacifists to the people who thought that Genocide was the only answer. They became more power hungry, for better or for worse (mainly worse) and they started developing newer, more complex and deadly things. Things that could in all possibility, destroy us all.
After many, MANY years, another war happened. One that would decide the fate of the earth. Scientists had gotten together based on the orders of President Callaway, and had created a deadly weapon, the Midway. (It's called that because it could destroy the Earth, leaving only half of it left.) Humanity fought for 6 years and a single day before someone had finally stolen the Midway and set it off.
The world was then only half of what it used to be. The blast carved the planet open like a rotten peach, swallowing continents and boiling oceans. Half the world drowned in light.
Now here we are. Back in 6028. Where small little Marjorie is left to defend herself; where millions of little children were dropping dead like flies because of food shortage and parents just dropping them anywhere on the streets because they can't defend themselves if they have a child.
Marjorie wished she was born earlier. In the 'Golden Age' she heard older people saying. An age where everything was simple. But nothing can be simple anymore. She had been trying to keep up a happy-go-lucky persona.. So that others didn't have to feel like she did, but it was hard, with all the bombs going off, people being killed right before her eyes, mutants attacking on the rare occasion! Why did it have to be her?
Why did it have to be her? Why? It could've been literally ANYBODY else stuck in this god forsaken hell hole that had to deal with what she dealt with, but why her?
