Everywhere I look the earth has crumbled into specks of dust and left everything in its wake a mess of chaos. 

The world has fallen apart— alliances have been broken, cities have divided into different sections, and people survive only on the belongings that they managed to salvage from their homes.

Food is extremely limited, water is scarce, and clean air is almost nonexistent. Smoke clouds float around the city, encompassing people in their stench and suffocating them so much that their lungs give up on them.

We call ourselves the fortunate ones, Kenny and I, but I am not sure that is the case. Maybe the ones who have fallen are more fortunate than I. Death seems to be the better option to me, but I don't think Kenny agrees.

He thinks we will survive, but then what? Survive to what point? There is no outbreak of diseases, at least, not yet, but there is no help anywhere, no one to ask to help us fix the problem.  

Buildings are charred and sunken into themselves like an elderly person with a hunched back, armed forces are nowhere to be found, and crazies run around the city saying that the explosions are a test of the government. 

But I am smarter than that. I know what happened, what is still happening right now. 

World War III has begun.

A/N

So this is an attempt at Sci-Fi I guess. An alternate genre could be Mystery/Thriller, but I think this is more like a Sci-Fi book, no?
