The year is 2033. Two shacks sit side-by-side atop a small hill of dirt. Surrounding the hill as far as the eye can see is a devastated landscape of smashed buildings and burnt-out automobiles punctuated with large craters and strewn with skeletal remains.The door to one of the shacks opens and JOHN exits, stretches, and sits down on a log.
The tricky part about writing a column is that it needs "content," and that's why I haven't produced one in a while.
