The Story...
In the near future, Country X fires nukes at all other countries from different countries, causing serious damage and radiation poisoning to each and every one. In a blinded rage, the damaged countries attacked each other, and a lethal world war began. Countries invaded each other, and other countries took PoW's. Over time, Ghettos were made from ruined cities to keep all the PoW's and criminals captured. Viciously guarded, these cities were guaranteed to have all people inside rot. Miles and miles of electric wire and landmines surrounded the cities, and further still were snipers and armed guards. Escaping was a suicide mission. Leaving guards inside the city was pointless, for the prisoners took care of themselves. Fights and riots broke out frequently. Food and water was hard to find, and tensions mounted. To gain an edge in power, soldiers planted supplies, drugs, and cigarettes in the city every month to keep the prisoners alive, but none lived too long. PoW's from different countries killed each other out of vengeance, and some sick criminals hunted others down like animals. Gangs and harmful groups formed, but were broken up quickly. To live in Haven is to be alone, were the words of many prisoners.
Haven kept only men, for they didn't want to lose face by having children present, but that didn't stop relationships from happening. Some men traveled alone, but some paired up. A companion is favorable when wanting to survive. Guns and other projectiles were not present, but there were definitely weapons. If not knives and swords, then weapons were improvised. A brick or a busted pipe went a long way. Of course, not all men died from each other. The city caused death to many. Rabid and emaciated dogs sometimes roamed the streets and attacked anything that moved. And if the elements didn't get you, then radiation did. The cities weren't ruined for nothing. Many died slowly of radiation poisoning if cures weren't administered. An iodine patch on the arm was the most common form of a cure. Haven sounds holy by name, but it is a city God abandoned. Good people (mostly captured peacemakers) exist, but horrid people were the majority of the population. In the words of the deceased: 'They'll die in war, but we'll rot in Haven.'
Many buildings are inhabitable, but there are many places to live. Homes are improvised all the time. Money became useless, and a barter economy ruled the city. Buildings are also used for 'public use'. The hospital provides men with food, shelter, and iodine patches but only if they have something to trade with. Surgeries are rare especially if there isn't a doctor. The hotel provides people with clothes and a place to live. The church is the only sanctuary around. Killing is forbidden there. It provides food, somewhat clean water, and shelter. The rivers are not to be trusted fro drinking water. It's only good for baths if boiled. Fish caught in the river make you sick. Ruined houses are good places to get cigarettes, weapons, and drugs. The rest of the city is no-mans-land, though some men claim plots of land as their own. Power struggles occur frequently, because most want to be leader of the whole city. Challenges for power take place in the 'arena'. Precious jewels are rare and precious, but the most valuable bargaining chip is information. Those with intel of the outside world have power and are often looked upon as leaders. Now that you know a little about Haven, wait and see. Those were just a few cursory remarks. You are under arrest for crimes against the country. And you will pay for the crimes with your life. Welcome to Haven. Hope you rot
