Here I am. Back home. Rick's back home too. Strange. Mom's having surgery. Dad is working himself to death. The dogs are getting old. How did we get here? 

The occidental states were formed shortly before the end of the Last War, as a last ditch attempt at preventing nuclear holocaust, peace-walker drones armed with nukes at every conceivable border, ready to light up the earth at a moment's notice. Thing about nukes-and deterrence, for that matter-is that the farther away you get from the time when what was supposed to be the last nuke went off, the less terrible they seem. continuum? It was inevitable.

TROIKA - Countryhumans USSR x America by Arrin99423
12 parts Ongoing Mature
The world is electrified. Everything runs on electricity, from lighting to transport, life support to social media. Oblivion. Then, grid is down. And the world turns dark. And doesn't turn back on. America, the most forward thinking and innovative Western idealist, has answers. Her feminist values push her neck to neck with her male peers. She is one of the first to figure out that the grid will eventually fail, because of the vein of fossil fuel instability, trying to raise the alarm. When the grid does fail, she doesn't even get the satisfaction to say 'I told you so' before she is forced to collaborate in the TROIKA - a trio of biologist, engineer, and geophysicist that must find an immediate and then long-term solution to power the earth. Oh, and she has no choice. USSR, a cynic planner and injured war veteran, has questions. Torn between his eastern roots and western intelligence, he struggles to fit in, curb his aggression, and deal with personal loss. Instead of notifying the world of the impending grid failure, he builds a vast arsenal nuclear plants to power his land against the rules, and when the grid falls, his lights and machines keep running. When finally his arrest occurs, he finds himself in a unique situation, offered a position in the TROIKA - but if he declines, then a life of darkness behind bars awaits him. The goal of the TROIKA is simple: Be quick, be correct, be ready. It doesn't take long for USSR and America to loathe each other on principle, each with their own goals and ideals, clashing on everything from fashion to economics. Can they push away their pride and save the world, maybe even themselves? Or will their bitterness engulf everyone in thick, oily darkness forever? A single choice will ultimately decide their fate. TROIKA: The Future is Nuclear. The Future is Unclear. NOT for sensitive readers, please do not read if you cannot handle violence, loss, terminate disease or mature content - 16+ Thanks!

88 parts Ongoing Mature
Delve into the abyss of a post-apocalyptic world where the surface is a wasteland infested with ravenous creatures born of the cataclysmic Great End. Mankind clings to survival in the sanctity of the underground, one of the last bastions of safety against the merciless outside world. In a landscape where humanity teeters on the brink of extinction, the aftermath has given rise to twisted versions of what once were ordinary people. Some have embraced the darkness, becoming psychopaths, while others have harnessed unimaginable power. A few have succumbed to a monstrous transformation that reflects the fractured state of the world they inhabit. Embark on a harrowing journey with Levian, a protagonist navigating the treacherous depths of the underground. As he grapples with the harsh realities of this new existence, the layers of mystery surrounding The Great End begin to unravel. Uncover the shocking truths that lie beneath the surface of this ravaged world, where each step forward reveals both peril and revelation. In the face of impending doom, Levian remains resolute, declaring, "Even if humanity may be coming to an end, I will still pursue my dream." His unwavering determination becomes a guiding light in the oppressive darkness, promising a tale that transcends the boundaries of survival and ventures into the realms of hope and resilience. WARNING! This narrative doesn't shy away from the brutal realities of its dystopian setting. Strong language punctuates the dialogue, and the fighting scenes are an unapologetic dance of gruesome bloodbath. Reader discretion is advised, as the story unfolds with an intensity that may not be suitable for all audiences, offering an immersive experience crafted for adults willing to traverse the unforgiving terrain of this post-apocalyptic saga. Thank you for joining the expedition into the shadows of "The Great End."
