They thought the city was running out of water. But the truth was worse: the “shortage” was engineered — and the distribution lines became a weapon.

In this 2-hours post-apocalyptic political audio story, follow a crumbling city where emergency protocols, ration queues, and “quality alerts” hide something far more deliberate. As fear spreads, power quietly changes hands — not with bullets, but with paperwork, control systems, and a calm voice that never needs to shout.

If you enjoy dystopian fiction, political thrillers, and slow-burn tension with a coup unfolding in plain sight, this story is for you.

What to expect

• Post-apocalyptic city survival atmosphere

• Political intrigue + psychological control

• A “water crisis” that’s actually a power play

• Cinematic pacing, dark tension, and a sharp twist
