Broken Diamonds
It had been a rainy day, and nobody really knew what happened until it hit them. At first we thought it was a dirty bomb, one of those nuclear bombs, we figured one of those terrorist groups shot it at us, it wasn't until a week we realized what really happened.
I don't mean to sound crazy, but it was a conspiracy.
The evening of June 26, 2012, a large boom filled the city of St. Louis, Missouri. The massive explosion engulfed half the city in flame, the half the blast wave didn't destroy. Disgusting sludge, and toxic and radioactive waste lay everywhere. The original blast wave had killed two million people, at least. The glowing embers and stinging dust were flung high into the air. People were screaming, oh lord the screams. They were being... transformed. Others were trapped, some burned, they burned...
We've finally figured it out now, after a news station broadcast the scandal throughout the city. It was our own government, they set off some kind of massive nuclear generator that gave off massive amounts of waste. Enough that it was already covering all of Missouri and Illinois. The scientists told us those that hadn't mutated upon contacted with the dust and sludge had some kind of natural resistance, and they gave use vaccines of some kind to strengthen them. Now we are trying to get out and survive. There are others fighting their way in, their attacking the government, going for the ones that did this. A whole revolution has been started.. and it could rest..
on your shoulders...
