AUTUMN FIRE: THE ASH
The world didn't end all at once. It came apart city by city, lie by lie.
In the wake of three nuclear strikes, America is fractured. Entire regions lie in ruin-charred cities, shattered governments, bodies in the streets. Survivors claw for meaning in the rubble.
But in other places, life continues. Coffee brews. Kids go to school. A fragile calm settles in, fed by denial and government broadcasts that promise containment. Retaliation. Peace.
They believe the worst has passed.
They're wrong.
What follows is not a recovery, but a reckoning. Some communities descend into violence. Others cling to false hope. The sirens return. The skies ignite. And across it all, a haunting truth becomes impossible to ignore:
The end wasn't three cities. The end is everything.
