Fighter

The beginning

Everywhere I turn someone is screaming, fighting, hunting, scavenging, or trying to survive in any other way. But I know something they don't. Keep your head down, don't draw attention to yourself, stay away from direct contact with others because that leads to betrayal, or the loss of someone you love. That doesn't help in this world. Most people try to make friends. They feel the need to have people to hang around with. They don't get how stupid that is, and one or more people always get hurt out of it. I'm alone. I WANT to be alone. I don't want to waste time mourning people I fell in love with. The only way to survive is to stay a lone wolf. Everything started about 20 years ago, two years before I was born. Because of my parents, and their parents, our world, our environment is destroyed. The monsters, well, they aren't actual monsters, although that's what we call them. They are human, but they set out to hurt people. They claim to have a purpose, they also lie.

As I run down streets filled with what used to be asphalt, crumbling buildings, and worn out billboards, I find an old McDonald's, in pretty good shape,that I can hide in until morning. Of course, I can never let my guard down, so I can't sleep there, but I can rest, and when the sun rises again, I can continue North, to a place where I'm supposed to meet my parents.

My parents and I got separated when I was 16, so only two years ago. And for those two years I have been heading far north, to our meeting place. I will be safer there. A big group of people, called the monster hunters, or M.H. For short, live there and try to make life better for everyone. It won't be a good idea to be alone when I get there. Up north that makes us weaker pray. That's way different the farther south you get of course. 

When I get inside the McDonald's I look at an old map. The place I'm in used to be called St. Paul. I need to get to Canada. I will find the M.H. Right on the border of Minnesota and Canada. They will lead me farther north to look for the monsters and to train to fight. People who support the monsters  for whatever reason, are called traitors. For obvious reasons. First of all they support the monsters that are killing innocent people. Technically they are the leaders of our new world, and call themselves the rescuers, although nobody even remembers that anymore. It's just the monsters, the survivors, the M.H.,and the traitors.
