Chapter 4 The Death of a City
February 15, 2040
In the bustling city of San Francisco, California, the Human Forces prepare a last ditch plan to break through the Dog Forces surrounding California and try to fortify Washington, D.C.
As Corporal Alexander was walking, he noticed a bunch of soldiers were talking amongst themselves. As Alexander go closer, he heard some of their conversation. "How do we know we can actually defeat the dogs? This and San Diego are the only cities that the dogs need to capture to fully control California." The other soldiers start to laugh. "Joey, you moron. The dogs don't have the gonads to take San Francisco from us. If they were smart, they would leave California alone and head back to Alaska, Texas, Florida, and Canada and pray that us humans don't go up to their controlled territories and give them an ass whooping." The others just nod their heads and start to laugh. Alexander looks at his watch. The time is 4:59. They all knew that the dogs threatened to drop a bomb on them. No one believed them. If they were actually going to drop the bomb, they had one minute left. They all remembered the call the dogs gave them.
A month earlier, Alexander was in the control room of the military base near San Francisco and the commanding officer of the base was drinking his coffee when the phone started to ring. The commander got up and answered the phone. "This is Commander Jacob McNason. Who is calling this line?" The answer came over the speaker in the control room. "This is the CDM. We have a proposal for you." The commander starts to get angry. " I asked who this is. If you don't tell me your name, I am hanging up this phone." The answer surprised everyone. "This is Commander Charlie Barkin and the proposal I have for you is this; Surrender or pay the consequences." Jacob just laughs. "We will never surrender. You can take your proposal and shove it up your ass." Everyone in the control room starts to cheer until they heard Charlie respond. "Then hears the consequences: You will either lose San Diego or San Francisco. You do not get to choose. When you lose it will not be known to you or how you lose it. Goodbye and do not try to reason with us anymore. You humans are so arrogant you don't even know what you have brought on yourselves." And with that said, he hangs up. Jacob just stares at the rest of us and starts to laugh. "What the hell was that about?" Everyone in the room starts to laugh, not knowing what we had just done.
Alexander stopped again to look at his watch. The time was 5:10. Suddenly, the ground started to shake and the power went out. Alexander could not stand as his legs started to buckle. He fell to his knees and holding himself up with his hands, stayed still until the shaking stopped. After about thirty seconds, Jacob walked out and looked at all the soldiers. "We have just lost communication with San Diego. Don't worry, they are still there." Every soldier in the military base cheered as they believed that the bomb failed.
Four hours later, Jacob came back out of the control room and looked at all the soldiers again. "We have reports that San Diego has just...just...just melted." All the soldiers just stared at him with horror in their eyes. "That's impossible. The dogs couldn't have invented something so inhumane." Jacob just looks at the soldier who had recently just spoken. "It's true, son. They dropped the bomb and at 9:10, San Diego was done melting and turning into glass." Everyone's mouths just dropped. Then Alexander spoke. "May God help us all."
