Pacifica

I

The year 3000 a.C started with an atomic world war among the continents survived from the several wars before. Africa and Europe didn't exist anymore. The first one imploded because of starvation, poverty and all the consequences deseases which spread across the continent and, without pity, took the life of women, kids, men, native and tourists, rich people and poor ones. All the bodies, in state of decay, became the meal of selvatic animals who regained their land, land that the humanity decided to leave just like that: no flights, no ships or other means of transport were allowed to reach the continent which no longer existed.

Europe, instead, was victim of a power fight led by the great strategist Ross, president of the United States of America. A young 40 - years old boy, incredible isn't it? Elected by Americans, who really wanted innovation and changes after the economic crisis which lasted for twenty years, Ross didn't exterminate just Europe but he literally killed all the Americans who elected him, and their sons, and the sons of their sons. Secretly allied with Russia and Germany, he was able to get inside the system, having the access to the labs where all the extermination weapons were produced, meeting scientists, corrupting scientists, gaining authorizations and strictly secret prototypes of war weapons never tested before. He took all of these to his scientists and engineers, he hid with smiles all the X-39 produced in his labs in Crewisland. As established, he accused France to produce very dangerous weapons for the whole humanity, and Russia and Germany gave him support, trusting him. Then umpteenth war exploded in order to revenge the power: France had a very important influence from the economic point of view, while Germany and Russia have lost theirs in Europe, the United States of America have suffered the European economical growth which caused, in part, the 20 years crisis. The war started on 21th February 2780 and finished the same day after the X-39 silently reached the European land and erased it in just three hours.

Asia decided to take part with its innovative war's weapons against United States, but Ross won that conflict too and also that time many Americans lost their lives.

Ross died in 2810, stabbed by a group of rebels, and after that the chaos became deeper. Enemies around the world no longer existed, so Americans became the enemies of themselves. Some of them took the prototypes produced by Ross and started a new production of X-39, that time mini-models able to erase only a tiny part of the American continent. While the scientists were working on this new project in their secret labs, men and women were killing each other in a civil war with no sense and without an ending.

When everything appeared lost, they came to us. I remember I was with my father, hidden in a barn, I could hear the voices of some men who have seen us and come after us. One of them understood we were hidden there so claimed to set the barn on fire. I remember I looked at my father's eyes with the feeling we wouldn't have met each other again, and some crazy questions came up in my mind: will it hurt? What's gonna be after? Nothing? Heaven?

With my great surprise voices stopped and an incredible light came across the barn. We came out silently and looked up: two luminous creatures soared through the air, very high, their arms were opened and their eyes looked down at us, humans. I was able to hear some of the sentences pronounced in a very strange language, never heard before, and after that the darkness. I wake up a couple of days later, in a tavern.

The luminoses put an end to the war and to the humanity too, putting a spell on us, the last survivors.

We were divided in two factions : pacifics and malefics. All the pure and kind souls became pacifics while the selfish, insane and belligerent ones became malefics. No-one preserved his humanity: to pacifics the blessing of a long immortal life, full of light, led by good feelings of love and fraternity, without any kind of rage, grudge, lies, while to malefics the malediction of an eternal life full of pain and struggles, completely lack of pure feelings and any kind of emotions.

Malefics were taken to the extreme boundaries of the earth where they could fight with each other without having the opportunity to reach pacifics who, instead, started a very quite life in a real heaven on earth.

My name is Cameron, and I'm pacific.
