The Michel Family

Part 1

Prefix

It was the spring of 2015 the world was heading for unprecedented disaster. The western governments were mucking around with the weather after the earth move on its axis. Causing disasters throughout the world defeating exactly what they were trying to prevent.

Governments and countries were falling Greece is the latest one they are looking for a 300 million loan payment midyear, and all indications they won’t have it.

China is becoming the new rising sun and what Japan was is no more the USA was in its own trouble. President Obama they figure was working against its own people in allowing what would never be tolerated by any previous administration. Obama was supporting Iran to develop nuclear capability and Palestine as a state, to an area that is so close to ending the world.

If Greece or better still when Greece defaults the end of the euro in Europe their currency is linked with it now Germany is next to fall and so goes the euro dollar and their economy structure. Over the past ten years the world was in turmoil with natural disasters.

The western countries were sending money and aid to all these countries but no one realized that this money was borrowed money increasing our national debt and we were falling into the same trap as Greece not being able to make our interest commitments. In 2017 everything fell apart borders were closed dollar was worth nothing oil stopped flowing food stopped getting to markets bartering was a way of life.

The cities were the worst off. For decades people flocked to the city for a better life and it was as long as the economy stayed working.

The government did what it could bring food from the farms but to large cities they couldn’t supply enough. Canada was struggling to feed its own as was the States we had it better than most countries but even still, our government couldn’t feed the large metropolitan centers.

Riots, starvation, rape, murder, you name it was happening in the cities out in the rural areas was not a bed of roses either people starving were flocking to the food farms stealing seed corn cattle corn and anything else they could beg, borrow, or steal. The government tried to patrol these farms but were too few so the farmers were given weapons to defend themselves and the life giving crops.


Chapter 1

The year is 2012 John Michel lived in Nova Scotia had a small place outside of Windsor Nova Scotia. They called it a hobby farm and he was not only a farmer like his father was that passed the year before but he was an investment banker making over seven figures a year.

He seen a lot of this coming so he bought 800 acres back a dirt road fifteen miles from the paved road which was another 10 miles to the main road which was a secondary road taking another half hour to get into Windsor.

On the 800 acres was an old farm falling down he restored it made all kinds of improvements he brought people in from Northern New Brunswick to work and they were not allowed to leave the place and when he took them out to bring other workers he had an old school bus with black out windows so no one knew where this place was.

John even bought an army surplus (APV) armoured personnel carrier and had all kinds of weapons. He had two daughters ages 18 and 19.
His brother was in Chester one of the communities that was put to sleep so the government said. He missed his brother he was more the farmer and the tinkerer He seen him and his son Brad take apart old generators and make them work.

He wished they were with him.
