The Infinite Adventure
It was a peaceful night for the times they lived in. James and Lynn have been traveling for quite some time. All forms of transportation have been reduced to walking. The city, Beachville, used to be a beautiful city until the collapse of society. Everyone was taught about the dangers of nuclear bombs and the mutually assured destruction that they bring. But not everyone was taught how to survive after society falls. James and Lynn had been through a lot. Before society collapsed they dated and they were happy. They liked to surf and have fun. Lynn is an adventurous free spirited woman, who’s also a badass. She knows MMA and she could probably even beat James’ ass, and that’s impressive because he’s 6’6. Before the fall of Society James was an entrepreneur who ran a couple of different businesses which were all successful. He made good money but all of his businesses had no value to him after the fall of society. All the money he spent his life making was now worthless. Sometimes things and circumstances change and you just have to adapt. That’s the kind of person James is, an adapter. James and Lynn are on a journey, a dangerous one at that. It has been five years since the fall of society. A lot of fortunate people were able to find shelter in the hidden bunkers. Fortunately James was able to reserve a spot in one of these bunkers for himself and Lynn before the fall of society. In time they were able to come back above ground and they established their territory. They didn’t know that there were survivors above ground who adapted to the situation of a nuclear fall out. Life was interesting before the collapse of society, but now it’s just bizarre. You could throw a rock in any direction and the rock has the potential to die, it could get slain by either faction the bunks or the grounders. Both sides hated each other and were constantly at war and competing for food and resources and overall survival. Another danger was the radiation. There are some spots that no one can go to, except for the grounders because they have adapted to the radiation. Some animals have also adapted and grown to be extremely dangerous. But luckily James and Lynn learned to survive. There were many times on their journey where they had to kill animals or other humans to survive. It was dark times, it was eat or be eaten. They are on a journey to talk to a tribesmen of the grounders. He is said to be a mystic of sorts that has magical healing capabilities. Lynn had seizures since before the fall of society, there wasn’t much of a solution before the fall of society, but the only option now is a magic healer. James would do anything for Lynn because he loved her. And she loved him just as much. They’ve been through so much together, they survived so much. James just wanted Lynn to be well and that’s why they were going to the healer. Not all grounders and bunkers hated each other. A lot of grounders would trade and help some of the bunkers. In fact they wouldn’t be on this journey if it weren’t for a helpful grounder. They didn’t know his name. He didn't give it to them but he did give them directions on where to go to receive healing. So that’s what brought them to the cave.
