what would remain?
Imagine being a modern person, even a well-educated person, and the world-as we-know-it ends .It doesn't really matter how, but this person, Cory, is now the remnant of the advanced civilization we know as ours, finds himself or herself in a remote village deep within the mountains of asia which has somehow managed to escape the wholesale disintegration of the outside world.
Maybe Cory doesn't even realize what has happened to friends, family and culture. Not yet, anyway.
Time passes.
Through some process, Cory discovers that a disaster has occurred and that some major failure has occurred and that what she /he knows may be all the entire world knows of civilization.
Hope gives way to resignation and Cory decides to make a life in the village and to pass on to the villagers what he/she knows and feels to be important, that which needs to be saved.
Years pass.
Cory is long dead.
A thousand years later, what might be the message that endured through the centuries and how might have it changed?
