The Dark Abyss Below

Chapter 1

        As the darkness Creeps out from the edge of California, no one in California is safe.  Everything Is alright in the perfect world of the United States, since the rest of Earth fell into the dark abyss, all that is left is the United States.  We are the only civilization that still has the capability to harness light.  In this bloodbath light is the only thing that can keep you alive.  We are the only survivors that are left in our galaxy.  Its my job to help society grow and save mankind forever.

        My name is Corran and i live on the edge of Maine the safest state in the United States.  Me and my father use to live in the Main Line, that is our capital.  We moved out here to start making money for ourselves.  I live with my father and my little furry friend on a disclosed farm site.  MY mom died in a rebellion in the year 9078.  It was one of the biggest rebellion to this date, it all started when the darkness took over Pluto.  After that they wanted us to pay so they did live executions and went house to house killing each woman in them.

        As I wake up i here the birds chirping and the wind running thought the wheat through our wooden shack.  I walk outside and the first thing I here is my dad screaming some music that people use to listen to in the 21st century,  "Dad why the hell do you even bother singing that crap, at least try to get into to days music," I say in the rudest tone.  I haven't been in the best mood since my mom died.  I always had liked my dad but i always have loved my mom the most.  She was the one who helped me cope with the main line and all there bull shit rulings.  " Well so I'm guessing you still are upset Corran, I know you are but try to be nice."  "All we have is each other and we need to stick together for us to survive."  I shrug my shoulders ans pick up a scythe and start cutting some wheat down.

        Me and my father every day have to go out in the Fields and cut wheat to sell.  It was a really big change from my lazy city life having every thing handed to me.  My dad used to work at a desk job working for an organization call GCU.  That stands for Government Control Unit, They are in charge of all the Governments secret files stored in the Main Line.  He had to put them in the data base and make a firewall for them and do a whole bunch of other techie things.

        Today was one of my favorite days of the month.  Today was the day where we make our big trip down to the Main Line and sell our crops for food and supplies.  That wasn't the reason i like going down there, I like going to the Main Line because i get to visit my moms grave and spend time hanging out with some of my old friends.

        As me and my father are loading up our truck for the journey, my dad starts grunting some things that i could hardly make out.  "hey dad who will take care of the farm while we are gone" I softly say to my dad just to break the bitter quietness.  All my dad said was "you will see."

        I was confused on what he meant but i wasn't prepared for the news about to come.  My father has always been a straight forward man in hi word but he sounded like he was hesitating.  "Son you are not coming with me this time, I have some work to finish so you are going to need to take care of the farm." he said in dispair.  I got so upset i threw my bag of wheat to the ground and started running into the fields and screamed "I hate you, burn in hell."  I turn around and look to see that my father wasn't chasing me but was going the other way.
