World War III And A Con Artist
A story brought to you by @TheWeirdoFromBeyond!
There was once a war that was so terrible that it was considered the Great War. It was the type of war that shook society to its very core, and forever changed the lives and countries of those involved. This war, in later years, would become renamed as World War I. Because while those involved in the Great War may have considered it to be the war to end all wars, it wasn't. Wars never truly are. Humanity found more things to squabble and fight over, and countless lives were destroyed. Society was forced to rebuild, again. More war happened, but everyone firmly believed that World War II simply couldn't be topped.
This, of course, was what everyone had believed about the first world war.
Predictably enough, a third world war eventually broke out. Millions of dollars worth of technology was spent fighting a battle that eliminated countless lives. Landmarks, monuments, and even comparatively less significant places were destroyed in the battles that were fought.
In a world like this, it isn't easy to survive. A woman makes a living doing dishonest work as a con artist, but it is enough to survive and that is what ultimately matters. However, her ways of living - and the world she lives in - come under scrutiny when people from other worlds suddenly begin to show up in her own. And though she's gone into hiding during her time as a con artist, she's forced to step out into the light and help them find a way home.
