-JUNE, 2257, ENGLAND-
The screams, the wails of infants, mothers trying to calm their terrified children, these were the only things that Mark had to keep himself from losing his grip on sanity. The ear-splitting shrieks of terror echoed through the underground bunker that he, his wife Linda and three other young families shared as protection from the ragging war above them.
