As New Jersey Freezes Over

This is insane.
They say on the news of America splitting into 4. The East, the South, the North, and the West. They say words of America’s government falling, and war breaking out inside our own borders. I live in New Jersey, there’s word of us becoming “Atlantic America” I don’t understand. Maybe this whole thing will blow over. Maybe all will be forgotten…

3 years later.

I am rushed into war. They call us “The Blue Army”, dressed in blue. Head to toe. Men are not supplied uniforms, we supply our own. There is no training, no boot camp, no drills. Just battle. Women, children, and elders are forced into underground communities called Burrows, I hear its hell. Bad food, freezing temperatures, and violence from men trying to get in. I am pulled off the truck and sprinted into battle. Word is, the California Republic (West) is battling The Texas Republic (South). We make our plans to launch an attack on the South. We march towards Alabama, to attack this large army from behind.

War is Hell.
