Breach and Clear
Chapter 1
*From the Library of Sandlewood, year 2020*
*A memoir of the people of Sandlewood Village about the partial collapse of American society, as condensed by Dr. Fhars.*
"A war older than anyone still living had ruined most of what the world once was. Unfortunately, no one in the village knows what it originally began for. We were all taught in our early schooling that it was simply a war of survival, and the history books we have found offer no unbiased explanation.
What is known is that the war ended in 2005, with a nuclear detonation occurring in Washington D.C. By that time, most of the population had already been drained. Every man, woman, and eventually child had been prepared to lay down their life for their country. The detonation was the final nail in the coffin.
