Many people expect things to work out on their own… But you won’t rise to the level of your expectations— You’ll fall to the level of your preparation. The lights went out—and the mask was torn from your face. Money is dead — numbers burned in a second, Servers died, your account is pure illusion. New currency — filters, cigarettes, fire, Alcohol and water — the only real law now. Don’t trust the ones in uniform at your door — After seventy-two hours the looters wear the badge. The emblem means nothing — it’s just a key and a gun, They came for your stockpile, they came for your life. The city burns under a blood-red sky, Pipes are silent, the sewers wait below. Follow these rules — to survive the blackout! Fill the bathtub, seal the doors, cover every window! Don’t go to the supermarket — war already started there, Silence the generator — sound will give you away! Rule of three miles — stay far from every road, Abandon the new car — the chips are gone for good! This is not a movie — this is the night without dawn, The one who survives is the one who hears silence, not light. The moment the lights die — run to the bathroom, Forty-five minutes of pressure — your purest supply. This water will last you for weeks ahead, While outside the air already smells of other people’s pain. Don’t walk into the store after two short hours — The shelves are empty and the people turned to beasts. Food at home will last you seventy-two, While the rest tear each other for the last few crumbs. Seal every door with tape against air and dark, Cholera moves faster than hunger and fear. Light is death — one candle seen for miles — A signal to the looters: “someone’s still alive inside.” Silence the generator — you’re alone in the black, Noise equals resources, you’re a target on the hill. Leave the car — after ninety everything is dead, Only on foot, only forest, only rails and night. Follow these rules — to survive the blackout! Fill the bathtub, seal the doors, cover every window! Don’t go to the supermarket — war already started there, Silence the generator — sound will give you away! Rule of three miles — stay far from every road, Abandon the new car — the chips are gone for good! This is not a movie — this is the night without dawn, The one who survives is the one who hears silence, not light. The lights went out… And real life began.
