Decades have passed since the last war, the one that swallowed the world. Afterward there was a heavy sadness that conformed to the lands, bringing with it violence, famine and cruelty. A young man traveling south finds himself in the middle of a desert and a village. Caution of this new stranger was high at first, but quickly subsides, realizing that the young traveler didn’t intend harm. After friendly exchanges, the young stranger is introduced to four elders of the village. After sitting down to eat a meal with the elders, they begin inquiring why he’s so far out in the desert of old Nevada. Telling them he wanted to see the ruins of the old cities, they begin to describe to him why he shouldn’t. Each elder begins to tell their tale about what happened during the great war, how fire fell from the sky, how they survived and the things they had to do. And hopefully for them their words would influence this young man to avoid such things, to stay where it’s safe; to live.
