Biography [1 sentence to 1 paragraph] Nikki was screwed with all her life, a target for the 'bad boys' in her district of Heartland.  The bullying continued to get worse and worse, and one day they tried to beat her with bats and their fists. So she ran. Each day she had to run, from the makeshift school, away from the horrible kids. She got faster and faster each day, and learned to hide. Nikki was never one to fight, and the only time she had meant to physically to harm someone was when she was seven - a kid had stolen her bike, her most prized possession, so she did what every seven year old girl would do - she bit him.

Now twenty-three, Nikki is a normal girl in the world.



Nikki sighed, walking down the train's aisle towards the restaurant cabin. Some random three year old stuck his foot out to trip her. She stumbled a bit, and glared, but did not dare raise her fist.

Why did you shoot me

I'm going to pretend that didn't happen.


"I don't know who you are..." I said, turning around and running. I nearly tripped once or twice, but it was all good.

The train suddenly shuddered and creaked loudly, and Nikki grabbed onto a seat.

The entry door from the caboose was shoved open, and four dirty men armed with pre-flood SMGs, and begun shooting down anyone who tried to run. Ms. Harber here quickly sat down, staring straight ahead as the raiders moved down the aisle, grabbing valuables from anyone who appeared to have any. The first raider looked at her, and smirked. "Aye, you a pretty one, ain'tcha? Hehehe.. we gonna have some fun tonight!" He grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her out of her seat, and Nikki did not resist, fearing for her life.

if you're on the train you whores betta halp meh.

George De Lupa

     As George silently sat on his comfortable red chair within the violently rocking train, he mulled over today's lunch, wondering why he'd eaten that salmon.  It was very good, but it left him with quite a violent flatulence.  He sat staring out the window, watching trees run by.  When the train came to an abrupt halt in the middle of this forest, he quickly stood up and made his way toward the conductor's cart, along with the rest of his hand-picked, personal bodyguards.
     As soon as he left his comfortable, custom security cart, the strong smell of urine and feces hit his nostrils.  George hadn't even known he was aboard such a distungingly filthy train such as this.  He saw people laying strewn across the cart's filthy bottom, staring directly at him, excluding a few select individuals whom were either asleep or quite insane, staring off into a vague distance he couldn't see himself.  George and his team continued forth, ignoring the eyes of the people around them.  They passed through another grime-stained cart, this one containing caged livestock, among various wooden boxes labled with bold, black lettering George didn't stop to read.
     Through the cart door window George and his team saw the cargo doors open, leading to the outdoors, with a select few, stuanchy men, with beards, and sweat-drenched shirts.  The men had a crazed look to their eyes, like they've been hurt throughout their lives, and those same eyes told George exactly what they were: criminals.
     The group held some very rusty sub machine guns, which he confirmed to be German MP40's.  They also seemed to be holding a young woman very rudely, which George didn't exactly approve of.  He told his squad to prepare for a fight, as each member pulled a polished revolver out of their pinstriped jackets.  George kicked the door open, roostered the cold, aluminum hammer of his revolver, and shot the apparent leader of the criminal group in the side.
     As the leader of the criminal group fell backwards, letting go of the young woman in the process, the rest of George's team flooded in, each member taking a shot at one of the criminals, as George took cover behind a wooden crate labeled "Fragile."  As each criminal fell to the ground, blood was spewn across the already dirtied floor, where it would dry and lay for the rest of this train's existence.  George rose and told his team to arrest any living criminal scum, as he made his way to the beautiful young woman laying dazed on the cart floor.
     He held his hand toward her and said, "Need help?" as he put on his trademark, shining, politician grin.

I heard gunshots. That didn't surprise me. The only thing I could do was move forward a train car, so I did, and the front car is where the security personnel are, but they already passed me in a hurry. There were about 20,000 guns in circulation around here, most of them hunting rifles and shotguns owned by about 1/3 the people that lived here before the flood, maybe more, and the government owns almost all of the military grade weapons such as M-16s, and there is even rumor that they own a helicopter from the airport in Teal Harbor. All I know is that the Governer's Police are not men you want to mess with. They have enough firepower to kill this city many times over. I, for one, would not mind a revolution.

Nikki shuffles back into her seat, ignoring the man who saved her completely. Or atleast trying to. She knew that he'd rape her or kill her just as fast as raiders would.

George De Lupa

     Even though the young woman whom he'd saved just seconds before quickly scurried backwards on to a wooden board bench, he didn't mind much.  He was a married man, and after what she'd been through just moments before, he wasn't surprised she was scared out of her mind.  He backed away slowly, adjusted the engraved silver wedding band around his finger, and made his way to the conductor's car, and told him to keep on moving.  On his way back to his security cart, he closed the cargo doors in the cart in which the battle was fought, and moved back to his specialty cart with his team.

The train began it's descent down Heartland's steep incline-y hills, and Mulholland was in full view, as was the bay. You could see the capital building, really just a clocktower from before the flood, and the balcony from where The Governer was going to stand. Massive amounts of people were standing in the square, and the train was only about 5 minutes from the station.

I was tapped on the shoulder by a man in a police uniform. He asked me why I was in the Police Cart. I simply shrugged the question off.

Biography: I was a glassmaker in the higher-end area on Heartland, making beautiful pieces under my father's supervision. He was very serious about the whole thing, ever since my mother was killed, he got me started on learning how to sculpt the glass, how to create flowing sculptures.

"Easy now," he said, watching carefully as I added intricate details to the body of my sculpture. "Not too slow, it'll harden," he told me.

I straightened up, marveling at my work. "Very well done," I heard my father say. "Now easy does it, move it to the display room," he told me as I carefully lifted the delicate piece and set it gingerly on the display table. I stepped back and folded my arms, pleased with my work.

  • Biography:

    Grant's family had everything they would ever need. A house, food, and a normal life. Even though the melting was more than normal, they had managed to get a home in the Heartland. Then, one day robbers struck his home and burned it down into the ground. His family lost everything. Money, shelter, and their prosperity. Grant's family sunk into poverty, and while trying to keep his head above the corruption and greed of the projects, he drowned in it and became a criminal.

I kept my gun close, while clutching onto my laptop bag. As I saw the capitol building come into view, down the car I saw a woman, she didn't look much older than me, trip and grimace. I rolled my eyes, stood up, and waited for the train to stop in the station.

I was about to do something I wouldn't be proud of.

Cool. The only problem is that you would have to have been 41 to have been born before the flood.

It happened in 1968, the year is 2008.
