It all comes apart

After it all comes apart, we shelter wherever we can. At first, no one even left the City. After all, enough of the population had left the country before the Collapse. The Whole Foods was fully stocked, bottled water plentiful enough, solar panels still operating at their full capacity, none of it having yet fallen victim to the tolls of time and neglect. It was like a weird vacation, like when you’re in a resort but the power goes out because of hurricanes.
