Cry Havoc

They thought they were safe... they were wrong.Outside, the city is embroiled in violent chaos: street fights rage with the ferocity of urban warfare, buildings burn unchecked, and blood flows along the sidewalks, dripping into the depths of the hungry gutters. The entire country seems to have have gone collectively insane.But that all seems so far away. Despite the fact that they can see the anarchy through their apartment window, two young couples struggle to maintain a sense of normality and civility within the confines of their four walls. They listen to helicopters clatter overhead. They watch the news reports roll in, trying to ignore the explosions that rock the very foundations of their home. They sip coffee and debate the finer points of the collapse of civilization, never dreaming that the shadow of death has already begun to darken their door. Never dreaming of the lengths some of them will go to just to stay alive in this brutal, new world.It's time to evolve or die. The apocalypse has arrived... and the end is just the beginning.
