Well let's just say you find out the name later.
#1 of blackout
15 years after a worldwide black out. (Cut me a break this is my first story.)
All names and characters are of my own imagining please ask for permission before using or one time
appearances.
All electricity is gone. All governments have fallen and there is no means of
transportation other than horse and wagon. The rich and powerful are now weak and poor
and few people are safe; even fewer know what made this happen. Everyone strives for a new form of
energy and everything is hell.
It all started in a little town in Oklahoma. It's name long forgotten by all but who lived
there, with a man by the name of Jon Colt, though currently everyone calls him Wolfbane
because of his wolfish personality and looks, and something that he did later on, I will get to
that part later. Jon Colt is five foot eleven inches, with gold eyes, silver hair, and
sharp features, and was as sharp as a tack, and a scientist working for the DOD (Department
Of Defence).
Jon was working in the lab, he was observing the electromagnetic waves of EMPs,
while trying to amplify these electromagnetic waves.He had developed a device that was
extremely experimental and highly unpredictable, a device which delves deep into theoretical
science.
The time had come to test his device and record his results. Little did he know what
would happen. Jon flipped on the device and let it start warming up, slowly the
device started to hum and shake ever so slightly, Jon turned on the EMP source remotely
from an observation room. Everything went black. Jon waited hoping that the backup
generator would kick in soon. It didn't.
Out side of the building the rest of the world was in panic. Cars stopped running,
helicopters would not start, planes crashed from the engines stopping. No one was
ready for this.
Welcome to The Blackout
Fifteen years have passed, Jon is still alive and is one of the few who know what
happened the day of the black out.
A hunting party went out at dawn and was expected to be back by midday. At two
that afternoon they still weren't back. The town leader had a search party sent out. Jon was in
this party. The party split up. Jon followed a game trail heading to the east, about five hundred
yards in Jon found signs of a fight he called out for the rest of the search party using the call
of a Whippoorwill. Fifteen minutes later the search party arrived and set off down the trail.
Soon it was evident that more than a fight happened. Danny, one of the younger
hunters, laid dead on the side of the trail, there were arrows stuck in him like needles in a pin
cushion. They pick up their pace jogging down the trail now, weapons out and ready.
Rounding a corner they find themselves in a clearing with the hunting party fighting off a group
of raiders. Jon runs in two knives drawn. In a whirling dervish he starts cutting them down with
the ferociousness of a wolf, bearing his teeth like one the whole time (that is how he got the name).
Finally with all of the raiders on the ground dead, Jon stopped, sheathed his knives,
and calmed down. When at last he spoke he said "Is anyone hurt?". No one could answer
after what they had seen Jon had done. "Miles!" Jon said. A five foot four inches tall, brown haired,
green eyed, bearded man stepped forward.
"Yes Jon?" Said Miles.
"Check these men for injuries." Said Jon.
"Yes sir." Said Miles.
