The modern world had failed. Climate change was going to kill the Earth, but scientists came up with a concept called the Time Shift. This was going to return the Earth to a time before the Industrial Revolution, but only the climate would regress. Nothing else.
The Time Shift went into operation, and it took the climate back, but also wiped out technology and most of humanity.
He was one of the few survivors, but he had not seen any others. He had scavenged food and was walking along an empty street when he heard a screech from above, and bearing down on him were flying dinosaurs, pterodactyls, if he remembered his history lessons.
He found shelter in an office block as the pterodactyls landed.
How far back had the Time Shift taken the Earth and everything else. These were the first dinosaurs that he had seen, and he had the feeling that there would be more.
This was no Jurassic Park; this was a complete system failure, and there was no escape for him.
Outside the office block, the pterodactyls were screeching.
The situation was not good.

Shattered
The reflection was like when light breaks water; the shattered fragments were from the glass table destroyed by a vandal's hammer blow, strewn all over the floor, with sharp shards that would cut anyone who tried to pick them up and clear away the debris.

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

But I thought only the climate would regress? So why did technology and humans get wiped out? A malfunction? Also, I love how it went back 66 million years to dinosaurs hehehehe
