Бухта Надежды. Первый шторм
Цивилизация живет и цивилизация умирает. Так было до нас, то же случилось и с нами – человечество в том виде, в каком мы его знали доселе, агонизирует. То, что строили столетиями, рухнуло, как карточный домик, буквально за неделю. Кошмары из детства и бурная фантазия голливудских сценаристов воплотились в жизнь – мертвые пошли по земле, неся за собой хаос, разруху и смерть. И так повсеместно. Спрятаться негде. Теперь просто так жить не получится. Теперь жизнь – постоянная борьба за существование, а каждый день может стать последним. И как всегда в такие моменты, когда слетает чуть видимый налет цивилизованности, в людях ярко выражаются все их качества – от звериной жестокости и подлости до героической смелости и самопожертвования. Кому-то повезло больше, и он оказался в нужном месте и в нужное время. Кому-то меньше – пришлось цепляться за жизнь всеми способами. Что ж… Настали времена, когда четко понимаешь кто есть кто. Содержит нецензурную брань.
