It is the year 2098 and the world has been recovering from a nuclear war. Food, water and essential supplies have started to grow thin. People have been forced to live in scrap towns and live hard lives. Jonathan Mark is a supply runner for his scrap town "Crane Town". In his life he has done many good and bad things, but that will all change when he meets two guys and a girl.

Prologue:

War...

It destroys everything in its path. As a species, we have had our share of it. Word War I, World War II, Vietnam and Afghanistan to name a few. It was nothing like this one. It was free for all. Nation against nation, friends turned into enemies, and we paid the price. It ended in about 2032.

I'm not going to talk about the whole world, but I will talk about my story on Hawaii. Before the war ended, Pearl Harbour had become a strong source of naval strength for the US military. The region of land at the end of the Middle Loch in Pearl Harbor, between the Farrington Highway and the Queen Liliuokalani Fairway, had become a medium-sized military-industrial city between 2020 and 2032. The Leeward Community College had developed many new buildings for Naval Drone Specialization and Coast Guard Specialization. Two nuclear warheads, both very near to its west side, hit this small portion of Pearl City. The portion of the city nearest to the Leeward Community College and the Masterson Shipyard remains fairly untouched, except for the fact that it is periodically and unpredictably flooded, leaving portions of it covered entirely in eroded sand. Since electricity is only supplied to essential machinery, electronic music and instruments have faded from the norm since the war. Music genres such as swing, jazz, and post-modern jukebox have made a comeback in the hearts and souls of Americans in the 2090's.

The year is 2098.

We are still recovering from the war we had just survived. The amount of sheer firepower that was launched nearly sent us back to the Stone Age. The USCPF, or the United States Civilian Preservation Force has been around for a long time. Over the years, it has helped develop new cities around the war torn USA and has a constant flow of fresh supplies from well-protected factories from the American midwest and northeast. The CDF, or the Civilian Defense Front has been around a few years after the USCPF was born. They have helped millions of civilians find a job and a place to live in the tens of thousands of scrap towns scattered across the US. It is not as funded as the USCPF but has been receiving more access to more supplies in the previous decades. These are the only defense against starvation, and chaos. Here in particular, they have deal with a large gang of bandits, mercenaries, thugs and merchants called the Sandsharks. They are responsible for many raids on towns and illegal trade on the black market in Pearl City. Travel in numbers, or you might end up dead.

Life is hard. A lot of the Island down to its West side is still covered in sand. I live in the desert. There was a subway station that ran under it before it became a desert. With a pathway dug into the ground by a vertically placed train cart, it leads to my home. A small portion of the station closed off by sand. I work in Crane town. I do supply runs for the town, looking for extra food, power cells, anything to help out. It's a dangerous job, with all the Sandsharks, but it's worth the money they pay me.

I am Jonathan Mark, and this is the life…
