The end was nigh, I knew that much. Within three years' time, my entire family would be dead. If I did manage to survive, I'd no doubt be hunted down by the government and the citizenry as well. Everything had gone to shit so quickly. War, famine, invasion, and there was nothing I could do about it. I just wanted to disappear from the planet, live in a place where I wasn't constantly under threat.
I got my wish, I suppose.
