75 Word Story contest entry
2024 The Beginning of the End
by DragonSkulls
We had a Microsoft mishap a couple days ago that
shut nearly everything in our county down.
I told my friend it was most likely China or Russia
practicing. "That's all it'll take, shut our grid system
down and we'll end up killing 'ourselves' for either food
or water. No need for war, we'll kill ourselves."
"That's just nonsense," he mocked.
Two weeks later, our country went dark and that's when
history claimed...America fell.
