THE LONGEST NIGHT


2053 - The United States is in a state of chaos.  Hostile relations with China have made goods outrageously expensive.  Taxation has bled most of the wealth from private citizens, leaving it in the hands of private companies and politicians.  The average man on the street can barely find work, living only on the handouts the government deems fit for them, and anything else just sits on shelves as temptations that are out of reach.

The poverty has sent the crime rate skyrocketing, and the police forces are the only sectors growing.  Riots are becoming more and more common, and most officers refuse to leave the station without riot gear with them.  Crimes considered relatively minor are targeted by police as excuses to arrest and fine citizens.  The people are growing restless, and it isn't getting better.  When police one day beat a young woman to death for trying to steal a loaf of bread for her daughter, the populace screams for blood.

And so begins the Longest Night.  Riots are erupting throughout the US, in towns large and small, as the people begin a new revolution.  The bodies are beginning to stack, fires are spreading, and fear is the only thing in common between both sides.  What the result will be, no one knows.
