THE MACHINE
The year is 2089. Society has been on its knees since the meteor impact and the great plague that started in 2022.

There are no governments, there are no supermarkets, only warlords who rule over various tracts of land that squabble amongst themselves for the few remaining resources.

The highly feared and most despicable of the warlords is Braxton Thorn whole rules over a large area called Braxas, a vast plot once known as Texas. It is here that all fear to venture without proper arrangements for they know what lies within its deadly core. The Machine…

In Braxton’s crazed lust to rid the world of impure humans he has modified the old 33 story frost bank building into a mass execution machine.

The B button, which once meant basement but was crudely written over in marker with “Behead”, is pushed and as the elevator drops 33 people are executed. The elevators run day and night none stop. The heads drop into a dumpster at the bottom of the shaft and are taken someplace, we don’t know where. It’s rumored Braxton is building a castle made of human skulls be we’re not really sure.
