Chapter One
In the Middle of Nowhere
Where to start? The world political
climate changed after the election of the 45th President of the
United States and subsequently his V.P. becoming the 45th four years
later; the Democratic Party was no longer there and America turned into some
form of theocracy in which Eugenics and racial purity were advocated by the
White Nationalist Party, it was almost as the timeline of Marvel’s comic book
Line Old Man Logan.
“What
was that?” She asked.
“It’s
just the siren, we need to take shelter as soon as possible” He replied.
“The
Tu-95’s are coming”
“We
are in the middle of nowhere in Red Lodge, Minnesota! How did they reach
here?!”
“They
are everywhere; we have no choice”
They
started to run down the basement with the hopes of not dying in the explosions.
They could hear the loud detonations coming from the surface, as they laid in
the bottom, they were scared that the next wave could be the last as not many
places on Minnesota were infiltrated by the Red Wave of Mother Russia.
“It
is over?” He said.
“For
now; I can’t hear anything”
“Me
neither, let’s go up again”
Both
went to the surface again; they saw smoke coming from the town, they thought
about going to help as soon as they could but they wanted to see if their herd
was OK, as well their edifications in the ranch. Nothing seemed to be wrong,
the only thing they didn’t had was connection to the emergency telephone line
which they assumed the bombarding destroyed the central that was in the town.
They
checked that their truck still had some gas and they rushed to town to help,
they were concerned that some relatives could be dead, but they wanted to know
if their neighbors were doing OK after the attack of the Russians. Nobody near
them seemed to be affected, their suspicions turned right after they noticed
the town was mostly destroyed; they were trying to understand why their town
became a target? It wasn’t as big as NYC or whatever else was in Washington
D.C.
“Oil
and water” He said.
“What?”
She replied.
“The
Russians are behind the mineral resources that we have.”
“What
do you say that? Their territory has more than any on Earth, they do not
anything”
“They
are trying to finally decimate us; contaminate the natural resources and
destroy any possible location of oil it will destroy the country last
foundations to rise up from the ashes; especially any deposit of drinking water”
“That
is quite creepy, the possibility that it happens will kill everyone”
“What
can we do?”
“To
keep fighting. We have no choice but to keep fighting; we can’t escape to
Canada and Mexico anymore, we need to fight” Teresa and Bobby kept driving to
the ruins of the small town to help any survivors.
