The Change and The Survivor

The deafening roar of planes plummeting from the sky echoed through the streets, shattering the peaceful night. The ground shook violently as they crashed, obliterating everything and everyone in their path. It was a scene of utter devastation, a nightmare come to life.

Millions of lives were suddenly snuffed out, leaving behind a trail of destruction and despair. The once bustling city now lay in ruins, its streets littered with twisted metal and charred remains. And as the dust settled, the survivors were left to grapple with the harsh reality that their world had changed forever.

Transportation had come to a screeching halt. Cars sat lifeless on the roads, their engines fried by the electromagnetic pulse. The few that were still running had caused chaos and carnage, colliding into each other and anything in their way. The highways and interstates were now graveyards of twisted metal and shattered glass, a haunting reminder of the chaos that had ensued.

Even the trains, once a reliable mode of transportation, had fallen victim to the destructive force of the EMP. Some had toppled over and slid off their tracks, while others had exploded into fiery wrecks. The ones that remained were useless, their power source cut off and their tracks overgrown with nature's reclamation.

And as if that wasn't enough, communication had completely broken down. Phones were useless, their circuits fried by the EMP. Cellphone towers stood silent, their once powerful signals reduced to static. The world was now a silent, disconnected place.

In the midst of this chaos, President Glama declared Marshall Law and began rounding up residents to take them to PUMA camps. Those who resisted were met with deadly force, their homes no longer a safe haven. But for some, the thought of leaving their comfortable homes was unbearable, even in the face of such desolation and despair.

One young man, known only as Clay, refused to be taken to the camps. He had learned the hard way that survival without technology was grueling and unforgiving. But he was determined to persevere, to find a way to thrive in this new world.

Years passed, and as nature slowly reclaimed the city, Clay adapted and survived. His once neat and orderly world now overrun with moss and vines, but he found comfort in the chaos. He became a skilled hunter and gatherer, relying on his instincts and wits to survive.

But beneath his tough exterior, Clay still longed for the world he once knew. He had lost loved ones in the chaos, and the memories of their final moments haunted him. Yet, he refused to give up, determined to find a way to thrive in this new world, no matter how dark and unforgiving it may be.

In the year of 2016, everything had changed. The world was in chaos, and President Glama's death had only added fuel to the fire. The Russian leader, fueled by greed and power, had taken his life, leaving Babylon in ruins. But in the midst of all this destruction and despair, one young man had emerged as a symbol of hope and resilience.

Cord, once a naive and carefree boy, had grown into a strong and determined man. His eyes, once filled with innocence, now held a steely determination. He had faced unimaginable challenges and had come out stronger, with a deep scar etched in his heart.

But despite all the pain and loss, Cord had found solace in a woman's arms, and together they had brought three beautiful children into this broken world. They were his reason for living, his source of strength and hope.

And yet, on that day, as he watched the Novembers of the President's still reigning army returning to his land, Cord's heart was gripped by fear. He knew he had to find his family, to protect them from the impending danger. But he also knew that he had to face his past, a past that he had been trying to escape for so long.
