Over a modest meal, Henry began to share their story. “The cities… they’re barely standing. People are desperate. We barely made it out alive.”
Clara added quietly, “There’s no safety anywhere. People are turning on each other.”
Jas felt a chill run down their spine. They thought of the fragile safety they had found here and wondered how long it could last.
Roman leaned forward. “Did you see anything… strange? Like, unexplainable?”
Henry hesitated, his fingers tightening around his cup. “Lights in the sky. Patterns, like warnings. And there’s talk of… messages being intercepted. Something’s happening, something big.”
Jas exchanged a glance with Ivy Mae. The strange occurrences they’d experienced didn’t feel so isolated anymore.
Then the radio crackled again. Another transmission. Another weird one.
A voice, heavily distorted:
“History is a loop. The truth is rewritten in real-time. The future is owned.”
The tablet flickered back on, another thread pinned to the top.

🎙️ Bernie Sanders Speaks Out:
"We’ve seen this before. When the ultra-rich own the government, own the press, own the police—what do you call it? A democracy? No. It’s an oligarchy, plain and simple. And history tells us what happens next.”
🚨 NAZI SALUTES ON CAPITOL STEPS.
- Leaked footage of high-ranking officials.

🔥 THE PEOPLE AREN’T BACKING DOWN.
Clara’s eyes darted between the tablet and the radio. “This is insane. They’re not even hiding it anymore.”
Henry sighed. “They don’t think they have to.”
Ivy Mae leaned back, watching the storm clouds in the distance. “Then maybe they’re underestimating us.”
