It was 2028 when the last President of the United States was in office. Two monumental things started in 2020. First was the world shaking threat of war. Countries were at odds with each other. Under the constant threat of death the states were cracking under pressure. Secondly on February 14th, 2021 was when the Men's Ceiling Council was created. Now this council was one of the biggest controversial activist groups to be created. Five men from different parts of the country came together and brought a new kind of government that not only was groundbreaking but had a key hand in ending the war in 2027.

This story will have mature topics such as drugs, alcohol, and mature scenes. If you can not handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
