Detroit

[close] *Loosely based off of the Andy Mulligan book and movie based of the same name* The year is 2040, and the world isn't a good place to be. Wars are being fought over the last drops of fossil fuels, diseases are killing unfortunates by the truckload, and global warming is slowly melting the polar ice caps. It seems the last thing on the wirld's minds is where trash is disposes. And it isn't. The heaps upon heaps of trash is piled in the ruins of the once great city of Detroit. You would think all people would give these ghost garbage heaps a wide berth, yet drug addicts, criminals and other people with no other place to go, a new city has risen from the ashes. It's a dangerous place constructed of shanties and heaps of rubble. In a world where scrap metal is currency, and your life could be snuffed out in a second, who will survive?
