Apocalypse 1963 historical event spinoff.

The year is 1962 after a failed decision by the president of the united states to bomb Cuba the entire planet is a nuclear wasteland only people on the farthest north and south locations have survived. This is why i thought that being Canadian was awesome after all, communication is out the only way to find out what is going on is from stories heard at our town meetings. There are only 51 of us in Whithorse Yukon we manage to survive from the scraps of all stores now abandoned and the occasional animal that passes through. from what we know by aerial passes of lower Canada nobody below the BC Yukon boarder has survived. Looking out the window of our small 4 seater plane all we see is ruin no buildings are standing, rubble and ash sits where they used to be, the sky is as black as the mountainsides scorched by nuclear radiation and fallout. no vegetation is found anywhere its almost surreal remembering what these once populated places looked like. To think that one persons mistake caused the world to spiral into an apocalypse amazes all of us. The last memory's before it happened seem like history to us, seeing the football game every Sunday wont be in our lives ever again. Thinking of once daily events like showers makes everyone depressed we have to ration our fresh water because most fresh water lakes are contaminated as well as the ever vast ocean. From what we know we could be the only survivors but knowing that if we survived this far north there must be more people above us, i wonder what they know maybe they could just be disconnected and continue their day to day lives. all we know is that the world of lush green forests, beautiful sky's and scenery wont be seen again in our lifetime, well be lucky to survive 3 years on our rations. moving to different locations to find more food and more people could be our only option, but we must go north as the radiation levels anywhere below the middle of lower Canada are way too high. finding any vegetation is impossible, our only fresh water is bottled and our food source is freeze dried meals, canned food and junk. None of us have seen sunlight in over a year and a half, some of our close friends and relatives have gone insane and either ran off or committed suicide. Sleeping provides the only relief from the black and broken world caused by ignorant war mongers. When we sleep we picture walking through lush fields of grass and enjoying simple pleasures we used to hate like going to work or eating our vegetables, these dreams make us happy, they make us forget. Until we wake up and realize the bleakness of the dead world we live in under the black sky of oppression.
