I am a young woman, not much older than 25, living with my boyfriend in the suburbs of Washington DC in 2050. The world has been ravaged by war and famine, and I was born in a time of great struggle. I don't know what happened to my parents or what happened to the city. All I know is what I've heard from the people around me. I was born in a small apartment in the suburbs. There are 8 apartments in my building, and the landlord is the only person who can enter it. My family had a small apartment and we were able to survive for a while on what little food we had, but as time went on, our resources dwindled, and we were left with nothing but the clothes on our backs. One day, while out exploring, I found myself in a strange place, a small, rundown apartment complex, with only a few residents. The only person who seemed to be in a position to help me was a young man named Tom. He had been living in the apartment complex for several months and had been helping to feed the residents. He was kind, gentle, and always ready to help. I soon learned that I was a young woman, and not a child. I had been living in this place for months, but I didn't know what had happened to my parents or my home. I was a bit of a loner, and I didn't know where I was. I didn't have any friends, and I didn't know where I was going to go. But Tom was there to help, and he became my guide and protector. I soon realized that I was in a war zone. The streets were full of fighting, and people were dying. Tom had been living here for months, and he had seen many battles. He had seen people killed by the enemy, and he had seen them die from hunger and thirst. I soon realized that I had no food or water. I was starving and thirsty. I was in danger. I didn't have the resources to survive on my own. I was a young woman in a war zone, with no home and no family. But Tom was there to help me. He was my protector and guide. He had the skills and resources to help me survive. He was young, and I was a bit younger, and he was kind and gentle. I knew that I could trust him. I was scared, and I was in danger, but I knew that I had Tom. And I knew that I had myself. I knew that I was strong, and I knew that I had the skills to survive. I knew that I had a long way to go, and I knew that it wouldn't be easy. But I knew that I could do it. I knew that I was strong and resourceful, and I knew that I had Tom. And I knew that I had myself.
