Eden in Hell-1

 

Preface: Earth has become a refuge of sickness: plagues, bioengineered super viruses, and every surface disease known to man have infiltrated every nook and cranny of this decimated planet. Every water table is saturated with oil contamination, and our oceans are filled with so much plastic it has suffocated what aquatic life we had left into extinction. The Revelation is fulfilled. How did we let the 1% annihilate and destroy this planet with their greed? Now, survival for a day is the ultimate challenge for the remaining population that somehow escaped the travesties of destiny. The survivalists must defend their ground, water supply, and lives, and that is an everyday task at hand. This is the story of the families that fought every adversary. The year begins in 2076.

          Huck looked at the time on his antique PC and it showed 11:47, he took a quick leak and tried to recall what time it was, and couldn't recall what he just saw. ‘Damn, I'm getting old,’ Huck mumbled to himself as he wandered into the old kitchen he was sharing with his old buddy Dwayne. The building they shared together was over 100 years old and still powered by boot-legged and outlawed coal. The Solar Industry took over everything and bought every politician who finally pushed the fossil industry into submission. Only the impoverished towns and rural areas subsidized the outdated smoking coal-firing plants. 

          Dwayne was eating some Armour potted ham on a cracker, and Huck laughed, “How are those chicken peckers and pussies you eating?” 

“What?” Dwayne smacked out of his mouth. 

  “That shit your eating on that salted cracker is ground-up chicken peckers and pussies, read the ingredients,” Huck uttered. 

          Dwayne picked up the Armour can and read out the ingredients: Mechanically separated chicken parts, pork, water, and salt. Contains 2% or less of mustard, vinegar, dextrose, sodium erythorbate, garlic powder, natural powders, and sodium nitrate. 

“Those separated chicken parts are combs, chicken feet, peckers, and pussies!” Huck spurted out laughingly as he turned and poured himself a cup of coffee.
