Nuclear Summer 2019 - New Myth #10

After the horrible super power blood bath in May, with its God-fearing destruction and planetary shock and awe, massive radiated rain clouds dropped their toxic pay loads over New York, Washington D.C, Moscow, London, Riyadh, Jerusalem, Beijing, L.A., the Koreas and many other urban hell holes.

The war tipped the balance of the planet's northern and southern hemisphere's already fragile climate to steady snow and subfreezing temperatures in 12 days of panic for millions of ice-crusted victims who were told to flee to central American or die.

"South Mexico to Central Brazil" became the rally cry. Cars, without gasoline and their inconvenient corporate pal, the electric grid, suddenly became shelters and village squares for the trekkers to the "new world." Seeds became the dominant currency.

French Canadians, Austin, Texans and Cuban Americans flooded the highways on foot and bicycles only to meet up with Portuguese and Germans from Brazil and multitude of Latinos from Belize and Uruguay. Starving and too hungry to fight for food, or any country, the make-shift government issued a laminated communication card to the refuges and their potential hosts through the many permaculture and transition groups in the region.

I pointed-out four animals in succession on the card (see illustration) to a family somewhere in the back country of El Salvador and called-out:

"Bark - Gobble - Shreeeccchh - Roar!"

"Gobble," she said. "Bawk Bawk."

The smart phone is dead.
