Carrion Wastes

Total nuclear destruction. The thought had evoked fear among people ever since the first bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And as if by some cruel hand of fate fall they did. Entire cities had been reduces to skeletal frames and ash in the wake of the bombs. Humanity had once covered most of the nation, now those who had escaped the blasts now combed the wastes in search of food, and shelter. Some took from others without remorse, and some still banded together in small camps. The fragments of the still standing government had labeled these undesirables as human carrion.
