Welcome to the Future

My name's Flynn. I've been walking through the newly added wasteland filled with rustic metal and dead ground with two kids following behind me. A girl and a boy. Siblings who just survived the fifth bomb attack from the Novus Sector military. Those fucking bastards keep trying to destroy the world as an excuse to expand our resources to other worlds. They won't even disclose any information on the planets they've locked on to for habitation.

My eyes finally spot a city in the distance noting our progress. It's the Adsum Sector that's surrounded by a dome-shaped golden glowing shield. I notice the crack in the shield from one of the Novus attacks has gotten larger. Lord knows how much time we have left.

I do a quick check up on the kids. The girl who seems older is holding her brothers hand and guiding him forwards to keep up. Poor kids; They've lost everything except for their lives. At that point it's a question of whether you think your life is valuable enough to keep going or not; And that requires trust with yourself. Well, hopefully these kids don't ever feel like that. I'm sure we'll find them a place here.

I hold up my golden hologram badge as we approach the entrance to the dome and we walk through a small break that allows us entry. I finally relax. Home sweet home; I better enjoy it while it lasts.

I look over to an idle volunteer, "Hey get these kids to a shelter." The kids look up at me frightened so I kneel down to reassure them that everything's going to be okay. The girl hugs me before she leaves with the volunteer leaving me smiling on the inside. These small moments of gratitude and hope that these kids I bring back may live happy lives or make change is what makes it all worth it. I resupply and head out to the next town.
