i think this place was an ikea once; it still has the shelves, the boxy layout. later it was a rations depot. and then, of course, it was abandoned the parking lot is full of coral. the spores got in with the rain, and most of the cars still had the skeletons strapped in; bone's a good substrate, solid and nutritious i'm camped under a defunct elevator with my two adopted urchins. it is windowless and dark where we are, the blackness diluted only by the rusty moonlight that filters in from the old cafeteria out in the main mall the americans have stopped screaming. only the soft noises of coral remain - its gentle slithers, its sighs - and the crack and gurgle of corpses as they are recycled into something new i'm starving

In these dark times we look to our leaders. One voice rises above the rabble, a young man with bold ideas and who claims a legendary heritage. His name is Barron, Barron Trump, and he claims to be the son of the mythological God King of the Golden Age before the barbarian hordes destroyed it decades ago.

Australia is still the same: on fire and a bit of a mad house. Every now and then someone wonders what the hell is happening in the outside world because they stopped making new Marvel movies for some reason.

Is the car on fire? Check. Is there noone at the wheel? Check. Does dark wind blow? *Sniff" check. These are truly the last days.

World? Heh. World. You're a bit behind, OP. It's Worlds now. *Straps a giant engine to Colonized Mars and aims it at Spaceship Earth* Whoever turns first is a space-chicken!

i didn't choose to be in this shopping centre. it was not a place that i considered, when i was making plans for where i'd run to. but the kids were so upset at being declared non-human that i had to cheer them up with a visit to santa claus, and it was while they were having their photos taken that the soldiers barred the doors and locked all of us inside we survived the massacre by hiding inside toploader washing machines in the appliances department. by the time we emerged, hours after the shooting had stopped, the lichen had already started growing on the bloodstains; they weren't red or black anymore, but orange and turquoise and pink since the floods, which didn't drain like floodwaters used to but just settled and stayed, this is one of the only structures that stands above the tide. from the windows of the cafeteria the town is an archipelago of submerged roofs, punctuated by telephone poles and the elevated signs of fast food restaurants "hey! hey! hey!" croaks a voice from the mall, american accent still intact, as the coral explores the crevices of a soldier's dead brain

no one is sure when ww4 ended and ww5 began. even ww3's ending was shrouded in doubt. there was a treaty, but it was made under obvious coercion and everybody knew that it wasn't going to last. some people were saying it was ridiculous to declare three separate world wars within the same decade, but i think those people are all dead now

If star wars episodes are any guide, WW5 is gonna loving rule. Sadly, it'll be the only really good World War, and nerds won't stop talking about how good they all are despite being mediocre for the most part, and by the time WW9 roles around, everyone will be way to invested and start crying about how "they ruined world wars for me forever, I'm done with these world wars!"

Did they really have to ressurect mecha-Hitler for WW9 after he was blown up point blank with a legacy tzar bomba at the end of WW6? Kind of downplays that whole war
