CAMP Firefly : FEMA EVAC SITE

[Zeenz]

Nestled between the burning carcasses of once skyscrapers and the battlefield we once called home, lies a safe haven. From the ground lush greenery and tents could be seen, with a simple big sign on the wall reading:

" CAMP FIREFLY - Home to none combatants looking to survive the war. All are welcome, fresh food grown here, medical supplies too. We look after our own. If you come to seek a haven we supply it. All we ask is no violence within the camp."

It wouldn't take long to notice, that just above the old mall and FEMA Evac site, someone has moved in.​

A flare can be seen through the clouds of ash and dust, being shot high up into the air, any trained eye or someone not new to the fight would know where it was coming from, the Mall. A second, a red smoke, plumes into the air, a constant signal.

Then a radio signals jars to life, a strong American accent and then translated into crude Russian, it is clear that the message is on repeat.
"Mayday, mayday. This is FEMA camp calling out to anyone still listening, we have trapped and injured citizens on top of the helipad, the pad is busted from last missile attack, we are stranded on the roof. We are still alive for now, Please, we have 10 citizens left, we need immediate rescue or evac, I repeat, Mayday mayday."

The message just loops over and over, it is clear whoever is left up there, doesn't have long.

Explosions erupt from the mall, a roaring sound echo's throughout the war-torn city. The last attack on the now dormant EVAC site was clearly fatal, the poorly repaired roof couldn't survive another bomb, the relief team never came. Both sides didn't hear their plea. The roof slowly collapsing in on itself, the camp itself swallowed up like it never existed, falling down a story or two, a remnant could be seen within the mall itself, a portrait of something different, unique no an oddity for this place. A portrait of happiness, the once survivors who lived there smiling for once, for they had a place to call home.

The two one known survivors sat on the empire state building watching their home cave in on itself, maybe one day a new camp will rise who knows in this city of chaos.​
