Nuclear Winter

Original Story by Kristin Rutledge

It’s the year 3005.  Most countries now have the ability to use nuclear warfare.  In fact, a nuclear war has just ended.  It was between several countries, including Japan, Russia, China, and India.  Japn and Russia formed an alliance and beat both China and India.  But a lot of the battles took place in Japan, because they were fighting over that land. 

The war ended just before winter.  It was super cold in some parts of Japan.  Japan often has cold winters.  A battleground at Hiroshima was often prone to firestorms and stuff like that.  Because of the nuclear battles that had just taken place here, there were still some nuclear particles all over the place.  When the suns beams hit these particles just before winter, it began to cause many, many firestorms.  They had never seen storms like these.  Cities were burnt to the ground.  People were dying.  And no one really knew the cause.  There were at least 2 firestorms every week.  And each one of these firestorms lasted several hours.  Smoke began to build up in the sky.  Usually the smoke just went away, but this time there was so much, that it was all staying right where it was.  Big smoke clouds began to form, and before long, they could no longer see the sun.  However, because of the heat trapped inside the storms continued to rage on until finally it all died down, right in the middle of winter.  There were a few people still alive, but they wouldn’t be for long.  There was no sun to heat the place up even a little bit, so it was super cold.  Temperatures were below 10 degrees Fahrenheit every single day.  Because their homes had been burnt to the ground, they had to sleep in tents or in little huts built from any scrap they could find. 

This went on for about 4 months.  After the sun finally came back out, there were only a handful of people left in Hiroshima.  What used to be a big bustling city was now a pile of ash.  The few people were so happy to see the sun again that they just lay in the sun for hours. 

Japan then blamed this phenomenon on China planting a bomb somewhere, which, in turn, started another nuclear war.  They had no idea that what had just ended was about to start up again, and this time it would be 10 times as bad as the first.
