Fear and Desperation

The once-great cities of the United States are unrecognizable, their towering skyscrapers reduced to hollowed-out husks. Migrants, displaced from their own lands by war and famine, have taken over what remains, forcing the original citizens to flee to the countryside or perish in the chaos. The streets are filled with rubble, and the remnants of what was once a functioning society are scattered like ashes on the wind.

Crime isn't just rampant—it's survival. With no government, no law enforcement, and no social order, people turn to violence and theft just to eat another meal or find shelter for the night. The strong prey on the weak, and every day is a battle to stay alive. Gangs rule the neighborhoods, but even they are fractured and desperate, constantly fighting for control of the dwindling resources. What little remains of infrastructure—crumbling bridges, gutted trains, and twisted highways—serves as a grim reminder of a world that no longer exists.

In this new reality, morality has become an illusion, and hope is a dangerous luxury. The cities, once bustling with life, are now monuments to despair. Society teeters on the edge of oblivion, with nothing left to bind it together but fear and desperation.
