This is going to be story situated in post nuclear Europe. It's also one-man story, so please do not post anything here. If you want to comment or have ideas, PM me, and if I see it's necessary, I will later make a discussion thread. I will also keep updating the story when I have time, so don't expect fast development.
The story begins from Finland, so do not be suprised if you do not recognize places.
So, the story begins...
21.11.2167, southern Finland, near ruins of old city Turku
It was cold. Joni's self-made meter showed that it was -29 degrees of Celsius. 100 years back that temperature would have been extremely rare. But not anymore. Not after the nuclear war.
Joni was freezing. He knew he must find shelter soon, but where? There were no places where he would be safe from the cold and wind. Of course, just few kilometres to south there would be ruins of Turku, and there would surely find good shelter, even some food. But the question was that could he survive till reaching it? He was already able to feel the numbness in his toes.
Since there was no other option, Joni started to walk to south, hoping that he would reach the ruins soon enough.
Finally, he saw the first ruined buildings of the city. It was late evening and he must hurry to find a place to spend night. He reached the first building. It was not in shape that would help him, since it's roof was missing, as some parts of the walls. But the building just behind it looked promising: tall building with and it seemed to have in surprisingly good shape. When he reached it, he noticed that it was in very good shape, and that it was mostly rebuild.
Quickly Joni opened the door, and stepped inside. The warmth felt so good. The place was well restored, since the cold didn't get inside. Such buildings were rare outside rebuild villages or cities.
The building consisted four rooms, and upper floor, which was unreachable due the fact that stairs were collapsed. There were some furniture in one room, and Joni decided to use those in making of fire.
It didn't take long till fire was burning happily in barrel Joni had found. Feeling comfort due the warmth and food he had also succeed finding, he started to sleep lying in old couch.

Joni woke up. At first he wasn't able to remember where he was, but after few seconds everything was clear again. The fire has ceased burning hours ago, but the place was still warm. With quick research he noted that everything was like when he started sleeping. He hadn't suspected anything else, but it was better to be sure, since there were those who would kill anybody just to get some items for trading.
After eating the remains of his evening meal, Joni stepped outside. It was clear morning, no wind, and the temperature was only -10. So it would be very good day for some exploring.
Right then he noticed footprints in the snow. Those weren't there evening, so someone had walked this way short time ago. The trail was leading towards the old centrum of the city. After short thinking Joni decided to go and see where those footprints were going. He was also hoping to find someone friendly who would be willing to trade with him, especially food, since he was short of food. Placing his modified pistol to belt he started to follow the trail...
