The world was unlike the one we know. Some kind of cataclysmic event
had turned it into a wasteland, a lot like games like Fallout or movies
like Mad Max. I was part of a group of wastelanders. Other than me,
there was this blond girl who was a little older than me and looked like
Penny from the Big Bang Theory series. Her boyfriend was this guy who
we called "Shrek", but looked exactly like Marv, from the Sin City
series - and his skin was gray (though I believe he must have looked
like Shrek once or twice). The third survivor was this woman who looked
like a prostitute (she might have been one before), and who clearly
loved Shrek, but wouldn't advance, since she respected them. We were all
really good friends and cared a lot for each other.
I remember us walking along trash piles in a dump, and later traveling
in the wasteland with our truck - yes, we had a truck, and the Penny
look-like girl was the one who drove it, though it was implied Shrek
would often do it as well. Despite the apocalyptic environment, we had a
lot of fun. I remember us just talking as we rode. The girls would put
songs on our old radio and we would sing along. Sad songs made Shrek
cry, and the girls teased him for it. I had to admit seeing the huge guy
sobbing was actually funny. It was hard to believe.
