       When the end came, it came in a way nobody on Earth had
       expected, with a mysterious transmission from space.
       "The dominant species residing in the star system located at the
       galactic coordinates of 15-12-449-49-0/0/0-KS has, once again,
       been judged unworthy to leave their Birthworld. Maybe this time
       around your species will learn that cooperation, and not
       competition, is what is critical to survival." What did they
       mean by once again?
       The message ended just as enigmatically as it had begun.Then the
       bombardment began. Every satellite in orbit was destroyed. On
       the ground every military base, bridge, tunnel, power plant,
       water purification, pharmaceutical, and fuel production
       facility, no matter how small or insignificant, was targeted and
       destroyed with kinetic kill devices.
       The urban areas were, maybe as a kind of mercy, spared.
       Although, as the events unfolded most survivors came to see the
       sparing of the urban areas as a punishment. Within a week they
       had exhausted their food, water, and medical supplies. That was
       when the point when man's civilization fell apart.
       Without the infrastructure to support his civilization things
       quickly fell apart. The urban dwellers began to riot and kill
       each other over the remaining food, clean water, and medicine.
       When those supplies were exhausted, like a biblical plague of
       locusts, they descended on the countryside and stripped it of
       everything they could get their hands on. No town, no matter how
       small, was spared.
       If it was thought they had supplies, the city dwellers took it.
       Since they felt they deserved it more than the townsfolk did.
       After all, it was the cities that defined a civilization, and
       they deserved more than the 'ignorant hicks' did.
       Once the countryside had been stripped of all it could provide,
       only then did the city dwellers realize their mistake. By
       stripping the countryside, and competing, not cooperating, with
       their rural brethren, they had doomed themselves to death by
       starvation and disease. Once death truly stalked the land,
       slaying humanity by the billions, only then did the enigmatic
       message begin to make sense, cooperation, not competition, is
       the key to survival.
       So, stranger, How Will You Survive?
