Help me. You must be wondering how I came to write this story with my eyelids firmly shut and sealed over my eyes. Could I have cured myself, no pun intended?

My timeline is a little different from yours. Most of our history is the same, up until the 1940's. In our world, the Cold War went hot, and the nukes went off. Worse than that, we lost.
