Bigfoot Emerges April 2

Bigfoot Emerges After the Fall of Humanity After the bombs stop falling After the nuclear winter After the collapse of civilization All that remains Are a few scattered bands Of humans Many are reduced To starvation Bigfoot who are the descendants Of the Neanderthals Who lived on In the mountain wilderness Came down And took pity On their human cousins. They soon began A new, kinder hybrid civilization Based on the smoldering ruins In the ancient era Which was soon forgotten. Except in the few university towns That kept some of the knowledge Of the past alive. Particularly solar and wind power Which was soon everywhere As was a rudimentary internet. Linking the college towns The nearby markets And the remains Of the old central governments. New countries slowly emerged New trading routes And civilization slowly recovered It took hundreds of years Amid the new ice age That settled down In most of the world.
