We pull up to the station and the train grinds to a halt. The huge columns that used to support the tall ceiling are now eroded and falling, with gaping holes in the ceiling. The tile floor is cracked and grimy, and there are large lumps in the floor. But still, the train transports so many people and so much cargo a day that it's amazing that the train is still in operation. With the large crowd gathering in the square, and all the people getting off the train, it was hard to even move through the massing crowd. I saw the security chief get off, along with his squad, followed by a woman with her hands in her pockets, avoiding eye contact with people around her, and at the large amount of grungy men making comments and grabbing for her.

I rushed off the train, pushing through the crowd. People yelled profanity and shoved back at me, but I kept moving until I reached the exit of the train station. After doing so, I ran down the street, towards the mayoral building. I stopped in my tracks as I saw a brand new, shiny Mercedes speed by me, going down the street then turning right, out of sight. I stared after it, then kept moving.

I arrived 15 minutes later at a residential apartment building, and ran up the stairs to the roof of the building. After bursting through the staircase door, I caught sight of a long black case. I scrambled over to it, set up my laptop, and waited.

The conductor was already at the front gate. He requested payment for the train ride. I gave him my scrap metal, then walked through the gates. The street was cluttered with people, old cars, and buildings on either side of the street. The tallest building in Mulholland, a 7 story apartment building, was at the opposite end of the road, facing the Governer's building on the other end, about a quarter mile away. The Governer's bodyguards were placed around each of the buildings surrounding the square, ready to fire on any assassin or law breaker. I got behind the thousands of people in the square, and the stench was overpowering. It was like all the dead fish in Teal Harbor in one spot. These people need to bathe more often.



Simple layout of the area I described. (Excluding the shops on the central road or w/e)

Nikki looked through her backpack and found nothing of use to pay for, so she stealthily moved into the cargo bay and into the caboose, attempting to exit without being stopped by anyone.

Name: Max Nappy
Age: 13
Skills/talents: Electronics, computers, knife play, mechanics, using tools powered by sources such as gas or electricity, making smoked drugs
Gender: Male
Biography:
Born and raised in the big city by my father alone, since my mother died when I was a baby. My dad almost died also, but he made a deal. He was to join the gang and fight with them, make drugs, everything a child shouldn't do. The gang raised me like family, tought me how to shoot a gun, the easiest way to reload, and a thing or two about drugs. Eventually, I discovered what drugs were safest to use, what drugs to get the best effect from when needed, and what type of drugs I should use. Turns out they said smoking drugs. I then turned into a drug making machine. I made smoking drugs for pretty much everyone in the gang. You would see them smoking all the time. Heck, I'm the only one who's trusted to make the boss's special pipe! My life was pretty easy, but today, it's about to get a whole lot more interesting...

Status: Making drugs
Inventory: Packet of Nappy (A drug I made myself), Brass Knuckles, Lighter, Gloves Without Knuckles

I was attending to my matters, making boss's pipe. I pulled the packet of Nappy from my pocket and put some inside it. I put some pot on the blowing end and set the pipe in a box. "He loves it this way" I said to myself. I picked up the box and headed up the stairs. After reaching the top floor I opened the door to the boss's office. "I have your pipe ready" I said. "Perfect, let's see it" he said. The room was filled with smoke due to his four body guards, his girlfriend, and himself, were all smoking. I walked up to his desk, set down the box, and left the room. I headed back down the stairs and cleaned up my drug lab.

I opened the case after setting up my laptop, and picked up the rifle inside. It was a QBU-88, the choice designated marksman rifle of the Chinese military. I rifled through the rest of the case and found 1 clip of ammo, with only 1 bullet.

It could only take one.

I also found a silencer inside the case, and I attached it. I kept looking in the case, and found a note:

"Grant,

          This city's government has been corrupt enough. It's time for you to end that. At noon, the mayor will come out on the balcony for the speech. You are to shoot him square through the forehead, in between the eyes. There will be bulletproof shielding, so you'll have to make the shot at an angle. Contact me when you're in position.

-R.E."


As far as I knew, this guy had some major beef with the mayor and paid me 12 grand to shoot him. I logged onto Skype, and talked with him.



I logged back off, loaded the rifle, and waited.

I like your ideas, but this takes place during 1960's post apocalyptic America, with drugs, propaganda, etc.

Um.

Huh?

You posted earlier this took place in 2008.

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.

The current year is 2008.

The melting happened in 1968. It happened 40 years ago.

As in, no advances were made in science or technology, and the town is how it was in 1968.

Ooooooh. Okay. Then I'm guessing I have to edit my post?

It's cool, you don't have to change it. Just in the future remember it's pretty much the 1960s.

-Small purse

 I had finished my part of the work for today, and I went to my room to get washed up and changed into more casual clothes. After about 15 minutes, I came out of my room dressed in some of my favorite clothing. I had a small purse with me containing $20 and a pocketknife for self-defense.

 I waved to my dad before I left the building, heading to the nearby diner to talk to some of my friends.

After I finished cleaning up my mess, I set the Nappy on the table, put on my gloves, and headed out. "Maybe I should stop at Heartland for some food, there's nothing here to eat..." I thought to myself. Just to my luck the train came around, so I hopped on, handed him my lighter, and took a seat. "Now to wait, and I'll hit up that diner..." I thought to myself.
