Longing for peace...

August 4th, 2032. Cleveland, Ohio. As the sun rose over the cascading hills of what was once downtown Cleveland, a slight breeze blew across the barren and desolate streets. War had broken out some nearly 10 years ago leaving nothing but the wildlife alive, all say but for one man. Thomas Malborne, an engineer for the city of Cleveland for over 30 years. He was a shy man of 58 who found peace in total silence as he worked on various projects throughout the city. Waterways, electrical grids, even the city railway that was to be unveiled in 2022, he had a hand in creating and making the many of the wonders that would have made the city as vibrant as a newly lit Las Vegas. How did he survive when the radiation was looming on the horizon? A simple faraday cage, more importantly his whole house was rebuilt to withstand any natural disaster, including radiation.
