War. War never changes.
Since the dawn of humanity, when our ancestors discovered they could kill with rocks and bones, blood has been shed in the name of God, justice, or simply psychotic rage.
The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. Spain built an empire out of its lust for gold and territory. Hitler turned Germany into an economic superpower on the back of dark things.
In the 21st century, war was still being waged for the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: oil and uranium. For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the United States would annex Canada, and the European Community would dissolve into disputes... Disputes between states and nations, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth.
Many horrors and crimes had occurred throughout history, but few matched the desperate and violent acts that nations would commit in the name of all they could claim for themselves. Some optimistic souls thought that wars over these resources would be the turning point for humanity, the crucible that would forge a future of peace. After all, how could things get any worse?
They were wrong.
The end of the world came about almost as we had predicted: too many humans, not enough space or resources for everyone. The details are trivial and useless, the reasons, as always, were purely human.
In the year 2077, after millennia of armed conflict, man's destructive nature had run its course. In just 2 hours, the Earth was almost clean of life... Not only human, for this great cleansing affected all life on the planet, an atomic spark struck by human hands that quickly spun out of control. Spears of nuclear energy rained down from the skies and the world was plunged into an abyss of fire and nuclear radiation. Continents were swallowed up in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Humanity was almost extinct, their spirits part of the background radiation that covered the Earth.
But despite what many predicted, it was not the end of the world. The apocalypse was merely the prologue to another bloody chapter in the history of mankind.
For man had succeeded in destroying the world, but war? War never changes.
