You frowned at the thought on going outside of your "home". You were dreading it all things considered. It's been 5 years since the short lived yet devastating nuclear war that devastated the nation and possibly the entire world. Everything went to shit as soon some nutjob on the white house decided it was a good idea to enter at war with Russia and China and gave full nuclear authorization to it, the worst part?
