Year: 2063 Humans : Extinct Earth : Ruled by robots, overrun by giant mutant monsters, war-torn and ravaged Its set in the future where the earth has humanless civilizations and ventures to describe how they tend to repeat the same mistakes we made. This is an attempt at telling a story through short, lively chapters. The story is too long to tell as a short story and too short to be a novel. Its what I call a novella. Good luck !!!
