Daily Journal: A New World

New World

Out of the dark we came into the light. We descended from the black depths and the saw the light for the first time. The year is 2127 and the world has been destroyed by a nuclear war. We few people survived in an underground shelter in the hills of Yellowstone. There was no trumpet to herald our return only the squeal of infants not used to the sunshine on their faces. We traveled far and wide in search of something, anything. This new world is dangerous and only the crafty survive. You must be careful of everything you eat and everything you drink. We are able to purify our water but when were done it reeks of chlorine and chemicals. We are able to clean our food in much the same way but it must be turned into a paste that is then drank through a straw. Life is harsh on the surface. We head east for the twin cities, fires still rage across the western plains.
