Haley's Civil War Diaries


Haley slammed her forehead on the secondary bunk bed unit directly above her own . She had vowed to herself she wouldn't do that again, but after 7 months she still hasn't gotten used to the continuous booms from the Tannerite . She relaxed tense abdominal muscles as she knew the tannerite was only used as a confusion tactic both auditory and visually against any number of random opposition that were no doubt camped or stalking the nearby below ground storm drains .
Vegas proved much more challenging than the Pacific Northwest as enemy forces from the Midwest reached the massive tunnel network beneath the city weeks before they arrived. The contamination's residual effects left her mother and father's skulls glowing a nauseous hot pink and sickly chemical teal. What once would of been considered "aesthetic" . Neon smiles in the
night, laughing at a joke that never ends.
