Episode 1 – The Hope

We’d been underground for 10 years…

The hope was when we lifted the lid of the Underground Nuclear Protective Chamber, the air would be breathable enough for us to live.

“Well… Here goes nothing,” spoke Dr. Harnett, as he pulled the release, causing the chamber door to decompress, and open.

What we saw outside as we entered the dark skied remains of a beaten planet, was as bad as all of our worse nightmares had imagined.

Barely standing town structures, ash stains where humans had stood when our government had tried Nuclear Attacks upon our planet’s enemies…

General Zod and his disciples.

But none of this mattered now…

Though I knew it was likely pointless… A long journey for not.

I had to find my way back to Metropolis.

“Are you sure you want to do this Clark?” spoke the small group of people I had hidden within the chamber with for the last 10 years.

“Yes.” I replied, packed as much supplies as I could, and began my trek.
