Cold, Dark, and the Color of Red
Rain.
It started nearly 2 years ago now. No one knows how or why it started.
Darkness.
It has been dark since the rain started, day and night. No sun, no light but the street lights and the lights coming from the houses and apartment complexes throughout the city.
Banned.
No one is allowed to leave the city. If you get 50 feet from the city limits, there is a voice on the speaker. "Go back now, everything is alright, do not be afrade, you may NOT leave the city."
Communication.
There is still global communication. Although every place you can call, every person you know, says the same thing is happening there, darkness, rain, and a ban on leaving.
This is the world, and this is what we live with. There are worse things to live with.
The cities Mayor, Mayor Lucas, said nothing, had not been heard from in several months, and though was still considered to be in charge, was thought by many to be part of the current situation.
No one had any proof however, because no one had heard from Mayor Lucas, or amy politician for quite some time. It was one of the silver lineings of the whole thing. Sure it was dark, rainy and no one could go anywhere, but at least there were no politicians around...only police.
