Introduction

This is a story that occurred in a faraway universe or a different dimension. Luckily we live in a world where this could never happen. Could it?

No one knew when it started, and once it started they soon realised that it could not be stopped, and what the final outcome would be.

It was little things at first. pen nibs snapping knives breaking when cutting bread, pipes leaking. Then more things started breaking and falling apart, and everyone could see what was happening.

The metals in everything were rusting, and rusting very quickly.

Metal was in everything, nails used to tile rooves and connect the joists in the roof together. People saw the rooves of almost every house collapse because the nails and screws were now rust.

Steel girders made up most high-rise buildings, and they crashed to the ground killing all who were in them.

Communication and distributed power came to an end because electricity and phone lines were metal, but now were nothing but rust.

Planes crashed, cars and railways ground to a halt, boats floated out to sea because their metal anchors were now rust on the sea and river beds. Cruise ships fell apart, and there were no survivors, or the ones that did survive became fish food.

Usually, in a disaster, scientists with laboratories could find a solution, but there could be no solution because the scientists' tools were destroyed by rust.

The situation was truly hopeless, the only tools that they could put together were flint knives and axes.

This was a world without metal.

Cities fell into dust.

Travel was limited to the speed of any animal that could be used.

The humans on this world realised that they would have to start again, from scratch.

Wood and stone were the tools that would build this world.

Maybe the great minds could find ways.

Computers were gone as was digital information, but books survived, although metal shelving did not.

Armies killing devices were gone, though there was still dangerous non-metal material leaking into the water and atmosphere and nuclear plants were becoming very unstable.

When people saw this and started becoming sick from the radiation, they could see the end was not far away, not just for them but for all life on the planet.

Life became more and more scarce and the radiation poisoning spread until the last blade of grass died.

And so life ended.

That was there, thankfully it could never happen here...

.... could it?
