It is 2026, and everything seemed to be 'mostly' at peace. No one would expect America and China to bombard each other with nukes, right?
Well except for me of course, though I am an ordinary office worker at Amazon, I have had this weird obsession with politics since I was 11!
That was what I originally wanted as a job, to be a politician. At least before reality struck me like a bitch and made me do this God forsaken office job.
Fuuuuuuuck!
I despised this shity job, it drained me both mentally and physically. I had to wake up at 4 in the morning to get ready for the day and come back at 9 in the evening! That is mental!
I would then watch the news while eating my bowl of cereal till 11, that is when I sleep like a baby. Ready to do the exact same thing the very next fucking day.
But honestly, everything would change about 1 hour after I am in bed...
As soon as the clock struck 12 am, the heat rose in my room to abnormal amounts as a small earth quake woke me up. Everything in my room started to fall out of place. The glasses broke on the ground, and the small TV followed after.
'What on earth?'
I was shaken, sweat trickling down my body due to the desert- level heat. Confusion swept over my head, I did not know what to do or think about. I was just sitting on the bed, my pyjamas soaked in my sweat.
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!" A screech –which sounded female, was heard. This scared the shit out of me, jolting me awake from the remnants of my sleep.
Curiosity took over me, making me look out the window. To my horror, I could see the once bustling city of Seattle reduced to nothing on the far side of the city.
I quickly tried to turn on the lights in which there was no response to, indicating that electricity was cut off.
"Guess the Lòng bí alliance finally attacked. I was right all along."
Without wasting time, I pulled a briefcase from under the bed as followed by a mini –vault. Quickly cracking the code to the vault and taking out all the money, first aid kits and some video tapes then putting it all into the empty briefcase.
I picked up the briefcase and the slightly cracked TV before getting out of the apartment, going down the flight of stairs to finally enter the underground parking lot.
I went down the stairs due to no electricity.
Soon after, I enter my BMW 530 e m sports car and drive off, breaking the barrier supposed to stop cars. This shit cost me about 70k in freedom units (American Dollars).
I drove fast on the damaged road, houses and buildings alike destroyed due to the earth quake. The people around ran, and some were screaming.
It was terrible, some people were severed, missing body parts in a disgusting way of showcasing, bone particles embedded into the open wound.
Some also cried, clutching their deceased close ones –letting it all out. Some kids cried for their parents, looking for them relentlessly.
But I? I did not care one bit, even as I saw cars smashed into each other in a way that would make someone vomit, blood trickling down the car's holes.
"This is a mess," I said to myself.
And it truly was, this was a scene straight out of a horror movie! Even worse the cannibal holocaust!
((A.n: Watch it ;-)))
It was not long before I reached a grave‐ yard. Then, I collected my belongings from the trunk of the car before walking in.
I went straight to one of the graves and removed the rectangular stone above it, revealing a hole leading down into the ground with a ladder for transport.
I entered the hole, covering it back with the rectangular stone before descending the ladder to reach a dark, small- more like tiny hallway carved from the mud around and layered with cement
I continued walking till I reached a vault-like door with a slightly glowing screen in the wall next to the door. I walked up to the screen, putting in the password, fingerprint, iris, and name.
Only then did I hear a small metallic clink as the door swept to the side, revealing a brightly lit room able to accommodate 5 people at once.
I swiftly entered the room, closing the door behind me. The room had a couch, a TV counter, a small fan, a mini fridge, 2 generators, a big metallic box with 7 big jerrycans of motor oil on top, and an air ventilator in the wall.
This was good, really good. It could last me about 6 to 7 months without worrying about anything. Except for sex and entertainment.
That is why I brought the video tapes.
"I'm about to get freaky! Hahaha~~"

"President! We have been attacked, the Chinese and North Koreans have bombed Seattle, Newyork and Atlanta. We have a reported estimate of eight thousand casualties, and 300 dead."
A man in a black suit said with horror, interrupting the meeting of the president of the United States of America.
"The Lòng bí alliance have attacked either way, fine. Ready the nukes, we will target their main cities." The president, a man with white-ish hair and somewhat old frail skin said, his voice old and wary.
"As you wish, Mr President!" The man in the black suit said.
This was it, both countries had declared war, if their allies joined in... oh the destruction it would cause the world. Guaranteed 40% of the population would die, the economy would definitely crash, and worst of all –the climate would rise rapidly, making it unsafe to even live here!
