Welcome to the Year 3000, everything's changed and your great, great, great granddaughters aren't doing fine. Cauterized is a musical/horror audio-drama set in a Drowned World where the ice caps have melted and those left behind have retreated into bunkers. The surface is crawling with beasts that seemed to have devolved back into their larger prehistoric counterparts. A series of solar flares on top of effects from experimental weapons used during the last great war contributed to the speed of evolution and soon the few remaining people on earth fell from the top of the food chain.
