So, in Sci-Fi, we're reading a book called Alas, Babylon. It's basically about a group of people surviving the nuclear holocaust (it was written in the 1950s).

And we... talk about some pretty eerie stuff in the class.

First, he had us watch a show called "The Shelter", where this guy had the only bomb shelter in the neighborhood, and the neighbors who were his friends basically go savage trying to get in. It ended up being a false alarm, but it was crazy.

Then, he took us down in the bomb shelter.

Yes, my school has a bomb shelter.

It's about 10-20 feet underground, and the stairway down to it is so wide- you can tell that it was built to accommodate a panicking student body.

Then, he had us write a few paragraphs about what we'd do if a well-informed, trustworthy military personnel informed us that in three hours, a nuke was obliterating Detroit. We had to come up with a plan of action and who'd we tell.

After all that, we finally start reading the freaking book. And it's actually very good, but it's very suspenseful. Where I'm at right now, the Soviet's nuked Homestead, Miami, and Tampa, and that's just in Florida that the characters know of.

And then we got into real life again, when Chris brought up the fact that Detroit was the #7 most likely city in the United States to get nuked because Detroit + MetroDetroit continue A LOT of factories and industries that can and has been switched to weapon, tank, and plane manufacturing in the past.

... I'm sorry, but if Russia, or anyone, China, North Korea, Iran, dropped on bomb in Detroit, I'm dead af. I live 20 minutes away.

If burning alive from the blast didn't kill me I'm sure the radioactive fallout would.

It makes you wonder... what if.
