Year 2023, Humanity is at the brink of war. Countries have failed to keep peace with each other. The clock is close to midnight and everyone is bracing for the collapse of the world. Religious groups are taking part in services, huge ones in fact, in order to save everyone from their sins. The Mars colony ships left with their final passengers as the planet has declared itself independent thanks to on going problems on Earth. As everyone braces for the clock to stroke midnight, chaos ensues. Riots, killing, looting, everyone is within a panic. Some humans have hid within the sewers or in bunkers within their houses, even letting some neighbors in their bunkers if they have enough supplies.

The clock has hit midnight, people have feared the worse. Soon the sirens blare, families that were unable to hide or flee hold onto each other for dear life hugging each other one final time. Some have mercy killed or done suicide pacts before the bombs fell. When the sirens blared few mins go by soon planes of other countries bomb the cites and neighborhoods, some even carrying nuclear A-Bombs to destroy the cities easier. Only a few A-Bombs were used as by this time most nuclear arsenal were either destroyed or unused or forgotten. Carpet bombing after carpet bombing taking place in order to destroy one another. Countries fell one by one as the war went on. Only two weeks the war ended, the winner none. They did it, they destroyed themselves and they succeeded, survivors low and casualties high. The world finally ended, the beginning of the end.

Those that survived the bombing saw the destruction and the horror that the war caused. Some calling it The Great War, the war to end all wars, and that it did indeed end all wars but at the cost of life. Humanity live now in a wasteland full of dead and decaying of the old world. Earth may never be the same again.
