In the 2020s, the United States of America has collapsed in what many call the Second Civil War. Without the stability of the federal government, dozens of factions and ideologies grow bold and gain strength to fill the power vacuum. Racism, religion, and politics used to be discussed at the dinner table with relatives and on the presidential debate floor, but are now discussed with tear gas, Molotov cocktails, and bullets. Our War tells the story through the eyes of common people on the bottom, military and civilian, fighting for what they believe in and their lives.

The city shimmered, a mirage against the bruised sky. Amelia clutched the worn photograph, its edges softened by a lifetime of worried fingers. Ethan, his smile as bright as the sun that was now a dying ember, stared back. They were supposed to elope that day, beneath a sky bursting with stars, but the world had different plans.A tremor rattled the building, a punctuation mark to the symphony of destruction. Decades ago, a rogue asteroid loomed, a celestial harbinger of doom. Governments scrambled, then crumbled. Amelia and Ethan, young and in love, clung to each other, a fragile raft in a storm of chaos.Years bled into one another. Shelters became homes, canned food a luxury. Love, a stubborn ember, flickered between them. Ethan, ever the optimist, sketched constellations on the damp walls, whispering stories of futures they might have had. Amelia, the pragmatist, rationed their dwindling supplies, a knot of fear tightening in her chest with each passing day.The final day arrived, heralded by an unnatural stillness. The once-vibrant city was a graveyard of concrete and steel. Huddled together, they watched the pre-recorded message on a flickering screen. Leaders, their faces etched with despair, spoke of a final impact, a fiery farewell.Ethan, his hand rough against hers, traced the faded lines on the photograph. "Do you regret it, Melia?" he whispered, using the nickname from their stolen moments.Amelia shook her head, a tear tracing a path down her cheek. "No, never. Not a single day."Silence descended, thick and heavy. The world held its breath. Then, a blinding light, a deafening roar, and then...nothing. Just Amelia, the photograph clutched in her hand, and the faintest echo of a love that defied the apocalypse.
