Post-War Apocalyptic Story


   Hi. I can say *bleep* as much as I want.
       - Me

 Post-War
 Jonestown, Mississippi, USA
 2026
 5 years after Nuclear War



  1. The destroyed city.
  2. A destroyed and deserted city.
  3. A city, destroyed and deserted, like the City of Chernobyl.
  4. A lost, destroyed and deserted city, covered in ash and radiation, full of abandoned buildings and dead bodies.
  5. A lost, sad-looking, destroyed and deserted city, covered in ash and radiation, full of abandoned buildings and dead bodies. Sad cries echoing through the streets and angry shouts, followed by gunfire.
  6. The city of Jonestown, post-war. Lost, destroyed and deserted. Ankle-deep in ash and radiation from the bombs, abandoned buildings at every turn, and dead bodies under the remnants. The sad cries of the few scavengers, and the angry, hoarse screams of the bandits, fighting for their survival, as the sounds of gunfire rings across the streets of the city. 

Thank you for seeing this. Again, as a reminder, please provide me some feedback so I can make these better. Another one, https://teamtrees.org, please donate for the planet. Thanks and goodbye!
