It didn't play out like World War Three. There was no draft, just bombs - bombs that cut off electricity and power to many places in the world, including America.
Really, that's all the people of Abigail, Louisiana knew. Someone in "Nor' Korea or I-ran" dropped EMPs all around them, and fried all their contact to the outside world - including their only transportation in and out of Abigail, which was a tiny backwoods township dozens of miles from the nearest city. It didn't really change much for them, they supposed - Abigail was an extremely poor area, dependent on fishing and hunting for most things anyway. It just gave them even less interaction with the outside world, and, more importantly, less notice on hurricane season - and information on the war going on around them, of course. As nobody drew near after the EMP, with nothing to tell them otherwise, they realized that there was a good possibility that the world had ended, and they were left alone as the one free place left on the planet Earth. With religion and a sense of security on their side, Abigail became a safe haven - venturing beyond would lead to certain death.
It was about five years that they spent this way, stuck in the hovel, continuing life on as best and normally as they could - when a spring green trailer rolled down along their dusty roads. The man inside was a handsome gent with a guitar who called himself Daniel Prosper, with a gentle smile and a soft glow about him, who spoke of scriptures upon seeing them. He caught them up with the contemporary world problems - bombs had continually been dropped, and things had escalated from there until the world fell quiet. He had escaped from someplace 'further south' with his bus, and he was perhaps the only person on Earth other than them who was still alive. He was regarded, by them and himself, as a disciple of God, traveling north to a place he described as the promised land, a place free from harm and rich with resources that were running out in Abigail. He stayed with them, pausing his journey and soon discovering the talents of the people in the town via their choir. Suddenly, his passion for his travels was reignited, he spoke of visions to continue North with select people of Abigail in tow. They knew it would be rough, but as he and the scriptures told them, they would be kept safe from all harm.
Confidently, the Band of Mercy, as Daniel Prosper began to call them, set forward into the world, unaware of the interesting turn of events that lay before them...
