The Light in The Darkness
Five years...it had been five years since our lives had become hell in our quadrant. In the year 2035 the U.S government had decided to separate the states into different quadrants as a way to maintain some semblance of order and keep the quickly depleting resources from drying up. As more time went on, the government realized that even separating the quadrants would not help the country and came to the conclusion that some quadrants had to be sacrificed as to allow the country to fully heal and advance. California, being a highly populated quadrant, was one of the first to be abandoned.
