Revenge in Blackwood
Shadow looked at two sharp blades in his hands and felt lonely. He then placed them in their scabbards on his back and walked over to the window and reflected on his gloomy surroundings. He had always hated how dark Blackwood had become with its vacated and destroyed buildings. The presidential election of Donald Trump caused the financial collapse of 2017, forcing the world into turmoil. Russia and the United States as well as other powerful nations declared war on each other and unleashed their nuclear arsenal, killing billions.
