      No person, no entity, no government knows how the end began. Rumors of war had circulated for years as demonstrations and fire fights and civil wars would break out at various locations throughout the world before they were briefly quelled, only to have the winds carry the turbulence to some other part of the globe. Ubiquitous as bird flu, they became frequent in occurrence, they became engorged with participants. On the side the vultures waited patiently. Watching their meals, waiting their time.

      Facts, alternative facts, network news, Internet fake news, outright lies and fabrications wove different stories. Enough truth in each story to make it impossible to sift out the mendacity and follow the credible narrative.  Some years past, Jack's father said that when the Politicians and Bureaucrats of the United States are such practiced, compulsive liars, who can ever know the truth.

      Some said the initial missile came from the Middle East: Pakistan or Israel or Persia. Another theory, far-fetched, was that it was launched from a dormant volcano in the Philippines. Other sleuths said it was launched from the Sea of Japan, where the Koreas, China, Russia and Japan intersect. One of those theories postulates the Chinese wanted the Americans to destroy North Korea so they launched a missile from one of their submarines located near Kilju. It was directed toward Hawaii and although the American defense system destroyed it in the atmosphere, the American President, incensed by the assumed audacity of the North Korean dictator, ordered a complete annihilation of that country. Another theory was that a Russian submarine fired the missile and for the same reason. No one with logic could ever explain why these countries would want their North Korean neighbor vaporized, but logic had long since deserted the world leaders.

      No. I misspoke.

      Deserted the world idiots.

      Then, while the Internet was still up, an unknown source claiming to be the founding software engineer at one of the billionaire tech companies, published that she had the codes to target computer software that controlled military and industrial systems throughout the world. She professed to be an aged hippy with postgraduate degrees from Berkeley and Stanford. She was worth several billion dollars and anonymously gave millions to charities throughout the world. She stated one of the founding tenets of the Internet was to promote development and evolvement of all the peoples of the world. To make it a better place for everyone. She lamented the Greed that had taken over Tech. The large shareholders paying themselves hundreds of millions of dollars a year while the workers made minimum wage, lived on Medicaid, and were targeted by the corporation if they protested exploitation, sexual harassment, and unsustainable wages. She saw no hope for the Greed, the name she gave these fat cats, and said it was time to restate humanity. It was time to extirpate civilization and let the worms turn over the earth to begin new life. So she launched the first missile.

      Of course the Techies, unapologetic and not wanting any blame for the launch, suggested that some drunken leader with his hands on the button fired the first missile just to see if he could do it, to see if anyone would stop him. Like an ambitious child testing his boundaries, testing his parents, his guardians, he swayed his mannish hips toward the button full of bravado and bluster. No one stopped him.

      Needless to say, during its demise, North Korea reined destruction upon its southern brother and Japan and all degrees along the compass. This set off White Russia against
