The global warming had already started around 1950. Nobody had actually cared at first, until it all became worse and worse and... In 2007, people realised it was our fault. The fault of the humans. But still, almost nothing happened. At first, thousand of refugees came and later, there were millions of them! Well, around 2018, people had already started realising how bad it was and started to move, started to change. Mostly the kids did. But still, there were too many grown-ups and politicians that didn't care, didn't know, didn't change. They always said: "Well, we'll do it later." or: "It's not that bad." or: "We got time." But we didn't. We didn't. Some things happened, but it wasn't enough. Almost nobody ever did enough. And now, in 2066, it had already escalated. It was getting warmer and warmer and we couldn't stop it anymore. The earth was dying and we were just watching, unable to do anything. And there weren't enough resources for too many humans. So people had started killing each other, less humans were their goal. One example: The two guys that had attacked me the day before. They were one of these groups that tried to kill a large part of humanity. I could understand them and in a different life, I might have let them kill me... But in this one, I just wanted to survive as long as I could. Maybe even live.

Those were the things I thought about while walking through the woods. Still hungry... What should I eat? I'm kind of scared that this girl is still watching me from between the bushes and trees and is about to jump out and kill me if I ever try to shoot any other animals... I looked around. There were a few mushrooms! They looked like I was able to eat them... Are you sure, Nic? Yeah, they're common mushrooms. I knelt down next to them and took out a penknife (What? I've got a couple of little pockets on my belt!), cut them off and started eating right away. They taste weird... Maybe I shouldn't eat them and just keep walking.

A few hours later, my stomach really hurt. And I felt sick and tired. Maybe I should have a little break... Was it the mushroom? I hope I didn't poison myself... I sat down and it felt like somebody had punched me in the stomach. Fuck, this is bad... My face turned warm slowly and my eyelids got heavy. Crap, I feel so damn sick... I really hope this mushroom wasn't poisonous... This was when my stomach decided to empty itself even though there was like nothing in it and I just threw up. Fuck, no... I don't want to— Everything went black.
