The Day No One Cared What Year It Was Any Longer
In 2046, all the nations of the world gathered together to debate the end of all nuclear weapons and disband all military and only keep a national militia for emergency purposes for such things as natural disasters to aid fellow human beings. After many days that turned into weeks, an agreement was finally met and by the end of 2046, all armies, in all countries were officially disbanded. What did this mean?
No more war. Continual peace.
Police agencies were still kept in force as people will steal and kill and some people will do horrific acts. But every continent was without a military.
Things went well until a massive triple-storm struck somewhere around 2051. Triple as in a major typhoon that blanketed and destroyed 90% of Japan, China and Korea.
On another front, a dozen or more hurricanes crossed over Australia and wiped out the entire continent and what citizens who couldn't get away on boats, and either chartered airplanes or private jets.
More hurricanes thrashed its way across portions of South America and Africa killing hundreds of thousands of people.
Europe had been reported to be assaulted with massive cold fronts with temperatures falling below seventy degrees below zero. Power was down, and people were freezing to death and falling over as their body temps declined and they simply died. Between that and the massive snowfall in excess in some points as much as two-hundred feet, survival was at its very weakest.
The United States faced one of its longest comical fears come true. California had finally broken off into the ocean by way of major flooding and earthquakes. This also took Oregon and Washington State as well as portions of Arizona and Nevada. Millions of people, dead. The rest of the western states were under water and those who survived, migrated east.
Mexico was also engulfed by two-hundred foot high tidal waves, and those who managed to survive crossed a border that was no longer protected as everyone had been in a scramble to save their own life.
No place on earth was safe during this time.
Twelve years went by before things somehow returned to a form of normalcy. But it was then, chaos set in even deeper.
Massive hordes of gangs roamed the countryside. Pilfering what they could get, taking what they wanted, and killing anyone who stood in their way.
The police agencies weren't large enough to stop them. Those that tried were overrun and easily defeated. Madness, you could say ruled a nation, not a government.
So it became another natural disaster which took over ... human kind.
You either joined them or suffered by death. They were the only two options.
But there still are no wars among nations. Now, it is a war from city to city, house to house.
The year today is anyone's guess. The only thing that matters day to day is if you are still alive.
You pray and hope things will somehow change, but deep down, you know this is impossible.
Some time ago, over four-hundred men and women took up a stand to fight back and try to reclaim what everyone had at one time: Freedom. They all fell where they fought, and no one bothered to bury them.
Prepare yourself. We are surviving in the end of days.
