On the way to the post.

Nashtonville is the name of the city I live in. Its not that big of a city because it is a newer one but its kind of violent. Nashtonville is surrounded by a huge grassland that is surrounded by a huge forest. The only way in and out of Nashtonville is The Galactic Highway. The Galactic Highway was Earth 2 and Earth 1's biggest construction build in history. 8 lanes of highway on each side with a max speed limit of 350 MPH. The Galactic Highway is up in the air 100 feet through most of it unless you are entering a city. It stretches all across Earth 2 and leads to every city on Earth 2. The cost of The Galactic Highway was 14 Trillion Dollars and took 82 years to build and had a body count of 3,456 from unlucky workers who died during its construction.

I live in the suburbs of Nashtonville in a large blue house. Our lawn is bright green and to our left is our car sitting in the parking space. Our car is a standard wheel car that is pretty dam beat up. It is a white sorry excuse of a sports car that drains Electricity from its battery like a son of a bitch. It has a few dents in the front from when I was first learning how to drive and we haven't bothered with getting them dented out. I take another sip of my To-Go pack before my father locks the door and we walk over to the car. I open up the door and I get in the passenger seat before my father gets in and closes his door before entering a code in on the steering wheel and the car turns on before my father switches gears to drive and we begin driving down the Road to get out of Nashtonville.

"Thank god this is the last time I have to do this" I say before cracking open my Arctic Breeze can. Arctic breeze is a Cola company that has a baby Harp seal wearing a Santa Claus hat for the mascot that is seen holding a can on the can. "Well, The Mayor picks citizens every month to watch for Flares, Just be happy that we didn't get Nightwatch" says my father and I smile before we exit Nashtonville and we begin driving down the dirt Road to a sniper tower about 10 miles away. The tower is armed with 2 pistols and a Rifle along with a button that is suppose to set off an Air Raid alarm to let the city know a Flare invasion is coming. Every city is given a Forcefield to defend itself from Flares and other problems that may arise but it takes a good minute for them to fully activate. The tower stands 25 feet in the air and allows you to get a great view of the Grassy fields.

Me and my father reach the tower after awhile and we park the car before getting out. The other car is gone meaning the Nightwatchers either did not show up at all or they ditched out early. "Come on" says my father before putting his flask in his jacket pocket and beginning to climb and I follow him up the latter. Earth 2 has 2 moons and the sun here is alot hotter than Earth 1's making Earth 2 really hot in the summer. We reach the top and find the weapons rack just as we left it the other day and my father puts his hand up before letting it drop with annoyance. "look at that, The pricks didn't even show up" says my father and I chuckle before walking up to the weapons rack and I grab myself a revolver. "Alrighty then, Lets take a seat" I say and my Father nods before we both take a seat in the chairs and my father turns on the Radio.

After a good 2 hours of sitting we see something light up in the sky. "What the hell is that?" I ask pointing to it and my father picks up the binoculars and looks at it before shrugging. "I dunno, It looks like a rocket or something" he says and I take the binoculars from him and I look at it. "It looks like a Missile" I say and my father looks at me before taking the binoculars and looking at it. "It is a Missile....a Big one too...." he says before we look at each other and we turn around before my father runs over to the button on the wall to warn the city but when he pushes it, it doesn't beep. "Uh..." I say before he hits it again and it doesn't work. "Oh.....Shit" says my father before we both look back at the Missile before it flies by us in a flash and my father blinks twice quickly. "OH!!!...Son we gotta go!" says My father taking the other revolver and the rifle with him before he begins climbing down the latter. "What is it?" I ask following him down the Latter. "Its a bomb!, A BIG BIG Bomb" says my father and I look back at Nashtonville before climbing down faster. "What Kind of a Bomb?!" I ask as he opens up the car door. "A Uranian X24 Bomb, Made by the Earth 1 Government for clearing out forests, Its not as big as a Nuclear bomb but its big and its bad" says my father before we both close our doors and my father begins driving the car in the opposite direction of Nashtonville.

You have the following choice:

1. Nuclear Explosion.
