Wow, this one may be one of the easiest to come along in awhile!
If I stop posting here, it means I have succeeded.
Or alternately, your story has been so ripped to shreds that you are ashamed to post any more. Shall we begin?
I can't describe the despair I felt as I looked across the sea of glass following the first all-out global nuclear war.
My how dramatic! Perhaps if you cannot describe the despair, maybe you could describe the effects of the thyroid cancer you began to suffer from? Or better yet, could you explain why people were wasting their nuclear weapons bombing deserts rather than populated cities? Because you would have had to have been looking across a desert to see the proverbial glass from a nuclear blast. I wonder how much research you did on the glass myth before you incorporated it into your story? Did you know the creation of the glass at Trinity Site did not occur in the way that legend claims?

BTW... are you like the other TT'ers in that you are here to answer questions? I hope so. If so, could you take a crack at the questions I asked just now?
Obama had tried to pit certain rival nations against each other in order to bring about their mutual destruction while we sat by and watched. However, another nation had a covert information source inside the oval office and learned of the plan early. The information was relayed to the targeted countries, which created alliances against the US and increased tensions among all nations. Afterward, a disillusioned member of the cabinet attempted to kill Obama, and nearly succeeded. After his recovery, Obama was unresponsive and decisively cruel, firing warheads upon three separate nations. A thorough shakedown in his staff revealed and discarded all opposition to his policy, and he proceeded to wage a war that could not be won. All major cities were destroyed, and the fallout was promised to end most life on earth.
Question: Could you tell us what Congress was doing at this time? Sure sounds like some impeachable offenses by Obama... heck if lying about getting a blowjob can trigger impeachment, I'd imagine nuking anyone and everyone would certainly get one in the doghouse!
My escape was by chance, for I was outside the city when it occurred,
So they WERE bombing the cities, eh? Well, then this causes a distinct problem for your dramatic statement about looking across a "sea of glass". Where did the glass come from?
and the research facility was underground and well away from ground zero. Its on-site power station kept things running long enough for a few of us to escape.
So its transformers were also not destroyed by the EMP you talk about destroying everything? If it was an important enough research facility to be buried, don't you think it would have been a likely target?
The two before me were sent several years back to create smear campaigns against the names Hussein and Osama, as well as promote the name McClane, in order to influence the popular vote.
Did those two come and post here? And what's with "McClane"?
I was sent as backup, in case their efforts were insufficient.
So which Obama smear tactics are your handywork, then?
I really don't know how to convince you, because I know you will ask for pictures or artifacts.
I've got a means for you to convince us, and it does not involve pictures or artifacts. Are you willing to take on my challenge to prove yourself?
However, all electronics were destroyed by EMP, and film was destroyed by gamma rays; all cities were levelled.
As MyTime suggests, how did you time machine survive then? But despite all that destruction, your memory is still intact, right? So that means you could tell us some major upcoming event that the media is not talking about right now. Something to convince us?
There is one more presidential debate, then the elections; this is the last chance to prevent the worst possible outcome.
How do you know what the worst possible outcome could be? You think just because you had it "bad" in your future timeline that things could not be WORSE?
