I Remember the Future Incorrectly - Part I

THE LAST SCREAM OF HUMANITY
By Orion Vale
Humanity believed the world would end slowly.
Through politics.
Through economic collapse.
Through wars that could be controlled.
They were wrong.
The end came in a single moment.
A war unlike any before erupted across the planet.
Missiles filled the skies.
Cities disappeared in fire.
Entire nations vanished in a matter of hours.
When the first nuclear explosions shattered the silence of the world, billions realized too late that civilization had crossed a line from which there was no return.
But the war was only the beginning.
In the ashes of destroyed cities, scattered survivors struggle to understand what really happened. Governments have collapsed. Communication is gone. And rumors begin to spread about forces moving behind the chaos.
Some believe humanity destroyed itself.
Others believe something far darker has begun.
As the world burns and fear spreads across the last remaining corners of civilization, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:
The scream that ended the old world...
may only be the beginning of something far worse.
