EVENT 002 PT 2 ANNIVERSARY

The bonfire is here! The flames have been ignited and burn brightly in the backyard of the school and it’s time to celebrate a year of survival. Drinks and snacks will be available to the group – our supply runners have even managed to scavenge marshmallows from an abandoned store – and we hope everyone can join the fun at some point. 

EVENT 002 PT 1 ANNIVERSARY

On March 23rd, rising like the sun over the horizon of Port Gibson, Mississippi was an accumulating tornado on a war path. The storm was brewing thicker as the clouds began to thunder, and that was when the lightning struck. Near Port Gibson lay one of the United States’ functioning nuclear power plants, which was the first victim of the storm. The lightning struck a substation that carried electricity to and from its generating station, causing the systems to overload in an unexpected high velocity attack. The emergency generators were no use as the singed electrical cords became a growing fire hazard, and soon, the world was exposed to what would be known as the largest turnaround in human history.

It's been a year. A year since disaster struck the United States of America like a wrecking-ball and changed society as we knew it. The Earth is quiet, with very few survivors left, but those who remain are strong and fit, building up communities all around America and trying to salvage what little is left of a normal society. While it's certainly time to celebrate the survival of the living, it is also time to commemorate the dead and those we have lost along the way to get where we are now. While we may still be alive now, we may not be for much longer and we must be grateful for every day we have left. The world is a dangerous place and it will overpower us if we allow us to, so we must remain strong. So, keep safe and remember – keep watching the skies.
