The whole system collapsed. No credit cards, no checks, not even cash worked. One day, it was all just worthless. Without money, the world stopped and the anarchy began.
A few saw it coming, but no one imagined it would be so bad: starvation, war, barbarism. We should have. The writing was on the wall, tensions were high.
