CHARACTER STUDY (I)

The territory of Mirth has been under nuclear war attack for at least a year. With the area being so secluded, no one has worried about the war since it doesn't effect their territory. Elisia waits for the crashes, thrashes and all of the above to cease. She creeps out of the cellar to find her tiny town has been obliterated. Radiation, dust and masks crowd the flat surface. The bombs have finally stopped, since the enemy assumes every one has died. Elisia climbs back down to the cellar to gather her things and leave the forsaken ground. She grabs her radiation gas mask, and straps it up tightly to fit her perfectly. She laces up her black combat boots and reaches for her dark green backpack, checking off the necessities such as water, food, extra clothes, a knife, can opener and lastly she picks up a metal bat. Elisia was as prepared and careful as ever by trying to foresee the future. She slowly comes out the cellar to set off on the journey of finding a new home.
