Trial by Fire
Where will you be when the world comes to an end? Most people don't even think about it or they laugh it off. Some people will laugh and say they will be dead by then, but, what if you're not? What then?
The reality of that question came crashing in like a wave sooner than expected one cold, mid-winter night. Some of us were prepared, but many were caught completely unaware.
The world. Had gone. To shit. In the blink of an eye, the world as we knew it was totally rearranged into a desolate landscape. It was inevitable, really. So much division and fighting in the world could only lead to our own destruction. Countries tearing themselves apart from within, governments fighting for dominance and playing God with their own people, and world leaders unable to quell the growing tsunami of discord.
Doomsayers had been prepping for this eventuality for decades, but no amount of training, prepping, or stockpiling can ever really prepare you for the end of the world as you know it. No matter who you were before, how much money you had, whether you prepped or not, we are all equal now. Disaster has a way of doing that, leveling the playing field. Now here we are, at the end, and we are all left wondering the same thing. How the hell did we get here and what the hell do we do now?
A conglomerate of world leaders, called the Axis, have decided it is time to narrow down the population of the Earth. In the United States, the government leaders have drawn a line down the center of the map and divided the country in half. Those who live at or below the poverty line, are ill, elderly, or otherwise dependent on the government, are being forced to relocate west of the Axis line. Those who live above the poverty line, are healthy and young, are being relocated to the east of the Axis line. With the threat of nuclear war hanging over their heads, what the world leaders have planned next is nothing short of Nazi regime genocide on a global scale. John and Phoenix MacKenzie decide it is time to move their family from rural Nebraska to the compound they have been building for decades in Arizona. Once there, can they find a way to save humanity from the atrocities that await them?
