Wasteland

Hi guy's, so today I was creating a story, slightly connected to the fallout story but changed quite alot.
Please read and then answer the story at the end.

Wasteland
Epilogue
At the closing months of the 21st century, the world was running out of fuel, and all other fossil fuels. Japan invaded Alaska for the remnants of these items, America closed it's borders, and annexed Canada. The war went on for 10 years stretching into the 22nd century, finally Japan threatened the world with a virus. The virus was nothing like the world has ever seen before. Japan released the virus and moments later removed from the face of the Earth. The war then started with all countries that had Nuclear Weapons, in a brief week the world changed from a illustrious bright coloured planet to a dull burnt lifeless image. The few survivors who expected this to happen emerged to a burning environment, for months the world burnt, the result was food sources were almost halved and the water supplies were now irradiated along with everything else inside. The few cars that could be found were stripped to help create settlements and forts for the people that didn't want to be taken back by the planet or the maniacs that found the most stupid reason to do what they want, looting, killing, robbing and all other crimes were rife for the many years until most supplies were owned by almost everyone who had enough followers. The area 'Land Lords' held the foods for people and made people go to the most extremes as setting off a bomb in the middle of a city just for a scrap of food.
The wasteland, the Law is ruled by Crime, and if your not in a city, your in someone's firing line. This is the survivors story.

So Should I continue this story? What are the good points and the bad? Any constructive critisism would be appreciated instead of saying 'It's [censored], don't EVER do this AGAIN!!!'

Aside from some repetitions("dull burnt lifeless image. The few survivors who expected this to happen emerged to a burning environment, for months the world burnt") the text is nice.

Also...
"The wasteland, the Law is ruled by Crime, and if your not in a city, your in someone's firing line. This is the survivors story."

using 'your' when you should use 'you're' makes my pancreas hurt.

Just remember to keep all the ideas organized(don't just throw everything at once, it makes the text a bit tiring to read) and, of course, remember to check for writing errors.

Aside from what is already mentioned, your story is just one big paragraph. Try breaking it up a little. And when you do make a new paragraph, hit enter twice, so that it looks

like

so.

Aside from that, it's decent, though it could be a lot longer.

EDIT: Wait, I just noticed something. You have epilogue at the beginning of the story there. Don't you mean prologue?

Umm...You seem to have just explained Fallout in a nutshell, and even something seemingly simple as that is ruined due to stupid mistakes. Try harder.
