Utopia

On the borders of North and South Korea, a single shot was fired; a single shot discharged by shaking hands that would change the world forever. Those who survived to tell the tale, agree; that the beginnings of World War III were just like any other. However It devolved into a nasty conflict, ruled by alliances and espionage. First to join the fray was China, then the US, afterwards, it was a downhill spiral until almost every major power on the globe was locked in combat.

That all changed when the first of many nuclear missiles were launched, slamming with full force and devastation into the Russian capital of Moscow. No one knew the country that had fired the fateful weapon, but as a result of its impact, everyone's worst fears had come true. A chain reaction had been started, which would inevitably end the world as we know it.

Rising from the ashes like a burning Phoenix, was a new world. A world not ruled by the green vegetation so unique to our planet, but a world dominated by ice. Even so, the flame of human resilience was not snuffed out completely-there were still those who would live on stumbling blindly throughout the darkness, hoping to one day see the sunrise again. To witness a day when the critically injured earth would once more become Utopia.
