''Introduction''
//Your name is Mason. You're a 23 year old white male living in a post-apocalyptic world no one expected. The government is less supreme then police officers/the military and the current president is a corrupted, harsh person. You make $23 a day, and the minimum income to survive in this expensive world is $78+ a day.
The apocalypse is approaching, and it's approaching quickly. At this point, it's not a fight for survival; it's a ''war''.//

Significant Other: NoneEver since I realized this world was coming to an end, work was no longer as important to me as it was in earlier years. Instead, I decided to try to spend as much time with family and friends as I could, even if I hate them.
My family was a small one. A normal 4 person family.
I loved and appreciated my mom. I still do to this day. She was 46 and was the best mom ever. Just thinking back, I regret not spending more time with her before they ruined her life. I always enjoy the Summer because my mom's name was Summer, and it was not only her favorite season, but so many things around that time remind me of when she was still around.
I've always loved my dad. But I think that love has always been one-sided. Unlike my mom, my dad was never special and has always been ordinary. He even has an ordinary name. My dad's name is Henry. He's mostly been the cause of all the bad events that happen in our family. He's always right in his eyes, and if others prove him wrong, they're a bad person. I try spending time with him, but he's a toxic person in general, so I distance myself from him.
My older sister's name is Azure. She's my best friend [[Alex's -> Treat With Care]] wife, and she's 45. She makes $25 a day, but Alex's daily income is $12,500, so she doesn't have to worry about food, water and shelter like I do. I envy her most of the time. She's not stuck-up, but she doesn't like me and Alex's friendship, because she believes I'll scam them out of money. So I don't usually get to see her.
I might've had a younger brother at one point. My mom was 3 months pregnant with him at the time, and me and my mom were ecstatic. Then [[the military showed up -> The end of an era]] and took everything away.
[[Back -> Information]]I've always been a fragile person. The only person who seemed to care about this ever since my [[mom died -> The end of an era]] was my best friend, Alex. Alex has been my best friend since preschool, and we've been remarkably close. [[My sister Azure -> My Family]] also took a liking to him, considering she's his wife.
Nowadays, Alex and I are closer then ever, and Azure hates it. Alex lets me sit in his car sometimes to help ease my mind from the [[government -> The end of an era]] and the issues I go through daily. He's a nice person. He wants to give me money, but Azure won't let him. Because of this, he's thinking of divorce. If that happens, it'd likely be all my fault. Azure would know this, and she'd berate me for it.

[[Continue -> A day of life]]Ever since the world has begun to fall, I've stopped crushing on people. The last time I cared about that, I changed my sexuality to bisexual so I could meet more people. Then the [['incident' -> The end of an era]] happened. I haven't been able to shake it off.
[[Back -> Information]]
[[Continue -> A day of life]] One day, my mom was doing the laundry, and I was helping her. (She was 3 months pregnant, it was hard for her to do on her own.) There had been warnings on the TV about the newly assembled "Military Ruins Team" which will kill the poor. It was gruesome, and neither me or my mom wanted to watch. I wish we did...
The military ruins team came by. They wanted to kill me. I had recently turned 18 two days ago. I didn't have a job, which meant I had an income less then $77 per day. Poor people were slowly running the government into the ground, so they decided to do something about it. When they knocked on the door, my mom got a bad feeling.
When she looked out the window, she saw the team. She told me to hide, and she'd open the door. When I asked why, she looked at me and told me that they didn't want to just talk. They were going to shoot the second that door opened. So, I did as told. Sure enough, they shot my mom to death right as she opened the door, even a crack.
I was mortified. But I didn't move. It was the first time I was exposed to such corruption. I was kind of against hiding originally; I thought our government was good. I'm both happy and sad I did.

I woke up feeling dazed. Despite this, I was not as tired as I usually am. My back didn't hurt from the hard concrete sidewalk I slept on. The Military Ruins team didn't come by last night. I could already tell today was going to be a good day.
I looked over at my old and broken phone. I had gotten a message from Alex. I picked it up and read it.
//''Hey, Mason, are you awake yet?''//
Happily, I replied.
//Sorry, Alex. I'm awake now.//
Alex doesn't usually text me this early unless he needed help or was inviting me over. However, he usually makes some small talk first. I guess it was important because he went straight to the point.
//''I wanted to talk a bit. Azure doesn't want to divorce because then she'll be poorer then you, but she's getting worse and worse by the day. I know she's your sister, but I might have to do it. I wanted to see your opinion on it before I went ahead.''//
I was taken aback. Alex usually makes decisions this big without even telling me he had to make said decision in the first place to not stress me out even more. I guess since Azure's my sister, he wanted to see if I was okay with it beforehand.
//Yeah, I'll come over.//
I got up, grabbed all my stuff, and made my way to [[Alex's house. -> The Divorce]]When I arrived, I walked down the sidewalk towards the front door of the house. Before I could knock, though, Alex opened the door for me. "Come in." He smiled, taking a step back.
I walked inside, closing the door behind me. "You wanted to talk about Azure?" I questioned. Alex looked at me and told me he did. He ushered me to follow him, and I did. He walked into the dining room and sat down at a chair. I did the same, except on the other side of the table.
"Azure's been becoming greedy. She //needs// everything for some reason, and if I don't, she threatens me with ruining your life, since she knows she can't ruin mine." Alex says. "I know she's your sister, though, and you've spent a lot of time with her. I don't know if I should divorce her. Would that be any problem to you?"
I was stunned. I never thought my sister could be so ignorant. "No, it wouldn't be a problem to me. Azure and I have never been close." I pause. "She's always been greedy. She was just hiding it, so you wouldn't suspect anything."
Alex breathes a sigh of relief. "Good. I didn't want to hurt her if you guys were close." I laughed a bit. Then I [[remembered something. -> Wrong Person]]I remembered that Azure once accidentally sent me a message for someone else. I checked my phone to see what exactly it was.
//''Hey, it's Azure. When can we meet up? <3''//
I thought it was addressed to Alex. But I guess I was wrong.
//Azure, you have the wrong number, this is Mason.//
//''Oh, Sorry. Ignore that. It was meant for Alex. He went to the store and I was asking when we could meet :)''//
I remember that Alex never said he was going to the store. Whenever he goes to the store, he always buys me something. If he had, I would've known.
I showed the message to Alex and explained my theory and he looked shocked. "I didn't go to the store that day!" He exclaimed.
Not only was my sister greedy, but she was cheating on my best friend. I've never been close to her, so the small amount of love I had for her was completely gone at this point. Alex was angry. In a fit of rage, he told me to leave, but I knew it wasn't that he was angry at me. I got up out of my seat and walked out the house to look for the neccessities for the night.
Looking around, the town had a large amount of poor. This meant that the Military Ruins team was going to come tonight. And that's for sure. I needed to temporarily leave. Where should I leave to?
