Reform

"Hello? Um, is this thing working?" We all stared intently at the small cracked tv, James had finally gotten the outdated piece of trash to turn on. But with all its faults, it was our only link to information, it was our ticket to hearing the message. That message was going to tell us what had happened and who had the balls to attack our country, and what we were going to do about it. The emotions in the room were high as we waited in silence for this man to talk.
" Hello citizens of America, well what's left of it at least. My name is Jeff Wiles, the former Speaker of the House and new leader of this country after the mourned deaths of both our President and Vice president. I am here speaking on every network, on every channel of any working televisions and electronic devices. In this message I am going to tell you what we as a government are going to do, what you as citizens are going to do, and finally I am going to explain to you why it was absolutely imperative that I killed our nations leaders, all presidential candidates, and why I ordered for the bombing and killing of a couple thousand people."

May 22, 2019. The day the first bomb fell. In the seven days following, bombs were dropped all over the United States, reducing the population to an eighth of its former size. Bih Nane is one of the few surviving citizens of the bombs that rained down on the country. She is just trying to keep her family and friends safe and most importantly, survive.
When she is dragged into a scheme to try and fix a broken government, will she able to leave her mistakes behind and mend her broken home?
