It’s April, 2015.
Fortunately for you and what’s left of your family, you did buy and read A Failure of Civility before the world went Tango-Uniform.
The Chicago nuke didn’t send much fallout your way, although strong NNW winds remain a concern.
But your wife didn’t want to give up her granite countertops and her Viking stove to “move to the sticks”.
You weren’t willing to get divorced over it.
Worse yet, you didn’t train with any of the various FREEFOR training teams before the Collapse.
It was always going to be “next season”.
You understood how important it was to not only read, but to learn and do under experienced guidance.
You just didn’t execute.
And what the next season actually brought was the death of the dollar and the birth of a continental savagery in North America never seen before.
Your wife didn’t make it.
