Act 1, intro
Fade in:
Modern city at night, year 2008
Subtitles (Michel’s voice):
August 2008, humanity had it all, money, law, order, power and a sense of safety. People were happy.
But all that changed on that fateful day. All power gone, law and order fell apart, society crumbled, cars became useless and fuel became scares.
People started fighting over food, water, medical supplies. People fought for survival and would do anything to achieve that goal even if that meant betraying people.
Ever since the blackout life has been tough, it’s survival of the fittest. The week died off and the strong became stronger.
Militias started forming and started to take over, but some people managed to find peace in all the chaos. Those who didn’t either died or became part of a militia.
If you didn’t learn to live off the land you perished.
My name is Michel, Darren is my brother. We managed to escape the outbreak of chaos after the blackout and have lived in peace in North Dakota ever since. But ours is a story of hardship and struggle, trust is a valuable commodity and these days it’s in short supply.
Militias are forming everywhere fighting each other for territory and control, capturing towns and villages and using its people to fight for their cause.
Everything wants to kill you weather it is wild animals or bandits, if you slip up you’re dead.
Welcome to paradise (chuckles)
Fade out: Modern city at dusk in decay and falling apart, year 2015, present day.
