On the Gregorian calendar one could read 2014, and it was after having overcome crippling economic crises, wars, famines, droughts, earthquakes – lest we forget the mass relocations due to pandemics and the detonation of thermonuclear weapons – such that the demographics of the planet as we once knew them, were but a faded memory. Everything we had learned about the world was a myth, and it was alas forever at war against itself, in an ongoing struggle to depopulate, and even though all the statistics clearly indicated that overall numbers had been drastically reduced in a ridiculously short span of history, there appeared to be no end to the regimented slaughter in sight.
