World War 3: 2021

Coronavirus outbreak: 2023

I was 18 when I started college in London and only 20 when the coronavirus struck viciously in my hometown of Birmingham. The whole place quarantined and little to no chance of my family's survival, I needed to leave before my life was taken by this deadly disease and horrifying war front.

Communication down since 2021, only worldwide television companies could possibly afford to put on the news, so I couldn't just call a cab or get online for a plane ticket, it had to be trickier than that.

Multiple battles had already been fought around England, America gaining land and winning battles with each strike, so what better place to escape?

Disguised as a wounded soldier, I snuck onto a departing aircraft in 2024 along with over a dozen other soldiers. Thats when I saw him...
