Jeremy felt the explosions in his bones. The smells in his lungs. He felt his body withering away from the nuclear energy all around him. The nuclear war had left earth as an empty, barren battle ground. After the Russians had won the war, the government of the United States had started building evacuation ships, which people could pay to be taken to a planet that humans had just started settling. Jeremy was an orphan. His parent had both been soldiers. Both killed during the war.He had no money. He was barely surviving on the scraps and stuff that people threw out. But since war, those scraps had been few and far between. He would make it to a ship and beg that they let him on. That he would never be able to pay for a trip as he had no Job or parents. So, pushing all thoughts of pain and hunger, he ran,and he didn't stop till he reach a launch pad. That's when he got shot.
