Prologue

In the near future, there will be a Final World War (FFW). The result will be less than 20% of the world's population surviving the impact and toxic gasses. This is due to a corrupt explosion of advance technology and nationalism. Along with the people, nearly so much of humanity's evidence will be left in the ruins, including airports, movies, books and other means of entertainment. Those objects that had survived were later discovered once humanity had cleaned itself up. The years following the FFW were focused mainly on the survival of mankind.

However, at the time that the FFW happened, some people claimed to have seen a large rocket blast off into space. Witnesses claim to have seen it fly off just before the radiation started to wipe out humanity. At this time, those witnesses are either elderly or have passed on. The "missing rocket" has yet to return to Earth.

Now this book is based off the story of a young woman. The story came from her mouth and she has told it a thousand times over, but the book was written by those who have heard it and passed it on to the younger generations. Holes within the story may have been filled with accurate simulations, but all viewpoints are realistic.

Many years after the FWW, humanity will be in a recovering process. People will have gathered into large cities which make it extremely hard and expensive for traveling. The wilderness will be recovering as well. Grass has started to grow once again in the world. Those who chose not live in the cities moved around from one cluster to another, gathering anything they can find for their survival. Groups like these were called "rat packs" since they were made up of scavengers. Most rats accepted anyone who could join them, from runaway children to older men looking for adventure.

With this book, we start the story of how a child named Stephanie, became a member of her pack of rats and how she left.
Just a basic prologue. It's just here to inform you what's going on. :icontyperlarryplz:
