Nuclear Winter
The nuclear winter had been happening for the last four years. It came right after the nuclear summer that lasted for about two years, from right after the bombs dropped until the winter came. I could feel the winds picking up as the already frigid temperature dropped. Tufts of snow were caught in a breeze to fly around for a moment before falling back amongst the other flakes.

You probably ruined Andre’s research.” She yelled over her shoulder as she slammed the door behind her. The way he shattered his buddy’s nose outside a nightclub after an argument, attested to his ugly temper. He had never turned on her but, starting today he was out of a job and expelled from the University of Miami with l...
