Wrote this last night. First of my works, so lmk what you think. Any thoughts/suggestions/responses are welcomed. Left it open ended for future additions. Disclaimer: pretty dark and future add one will be darker.
It’s 2025, and there has been a nuclear war. The world isn’t what it used to, and society in most places of the planet is back to the dark ages. You live with your family in a small town that produces its own food, not trying to draw attention from people who’d want what you have there. One day this discretion isn’t enough, and raiders come.
It’s mid morning and you’re going about your business as you normally would, carrying water and tending your family’s animals. From nowhere, you hear a distant shout. You look up to see where that noise came from, and you find a local man frantically sprinting towards the town and shouting that “they’re coming.” This is the day you’ve dreaded for a long time.
