With times growing darker, as political conflict seemed to worsen every day it was only inevitable that a war was to break out. But what people didn't expect to happen so early in the war was the deployment of nukes. It seemed that some countries had gotten antsy, having an early realization they wouldn't be able to win the fight that they had started or been dragged into. And so, thinking of only themselves they released the bombs causing a chain reaction. 

It didn't take long for this chain reaction to settle down, as the general population found themselves passing on to whatever afterlife may await. And for those who somehow did manage survive, it didn't take long for the radiation to get them. For any that survived past that point, it was complete luck or perhaps divine intervention whatever one may want to call it. Whether or not either of those were true, one thing was for sure. And that was the fact that civilization as they knew it was gone, and those left would decide what exactly this new Earth would become.

Living in this world soon proved to be much more difficult then living in what was before. And many didn't manage to make it far into this world, but those who have all have something in common. And that being, they aren't completely sane. No matter how much one wanted to argue, those who got to live and thrive in this world all shared that one thing, the lack of mental stability.
