The war probably wiped out everything anyway, and I was going to quit the next day. Mother Russia got a false bomb threat from the United States saying they were going to launch nukes from Florida.

Unluckily for me, the cryotube was in the science museum and guarded. I snuck in after closing time, and made my way to the tube. It was guarded by two guards with police batons. I killed them both and locked the room. To ensure my safety, I programmed it to only open when the time set ran up.
And here I am now. I step out of the tube and start to stretch, my arms and legs sore from a millennia of misuse. As I walk down the hall, I see the same woman in the front desk I saw leave, over a thousand years ago. I stiffen against the wall, afraid to be seen. As I peer around the corner, I see the woman flicker, static and click off. Whew! It was just a hologram. As I walk to the door, they slide open to reveal the old city I left renewed beyond belief…..
