Let There Be Light

In a cracked, sun‑baked wasteland where once‑great cities lie in ruin, a small band of survivors—Blackie, Mike, Sid and Vito— eke out a gritty existence along an abandoned highway. Their days are spent hacking at ancient timber, salvaging relics, and keeping watch for the ghostly machines that once ruled the world. The story opens with a tense, rhythmic scene of axe‑blades biting into a massive trunk, a ritual that reveals both their camaraderie and the harsh reality of life among the debris of a lost civilization.

As the tree finally crashes down, the group moves toward a hidden ambush, their eyes scanning the desolate horizon for any sign of the enigmatic devices that still roam the ruins. Through vivid description of cracked concrete, wind‑blown weeds and the flicker of sunlight on shattered stone, the narrative paints a stark picture of human ingenuity battling a world that refuses to forget its own past. The first act sets the tone for a tense, atmospheric journey where survival depends as much on wit as on the strength of old, weather‑worn tools.
