Vault 178

chapter 1 : leaving vault 178

I woke up to loud alarm, the buzzing sound attracted people to look curious. Panic gathered on the people's faces. There was something wrong in vault 178. Screams reached from one end to the other. I wondered if this was the end...

I was only ten when I got shoved into the vault and watched my parents die because of the nuclear bombs that hit my town. I guess I was lucky they took the kids first, and then the women but she never made it. I struggled throughout the years I spent there wondering what the outside world was like. And maybe one of my parents had survived.

I was always told that the world outside was dangerous as a kid, and now it's my time to figure out if they told the truth. I'm now 21 years old and hell was breaking loose. The alarms were going off and people were screaming. I looked around and they gathered all the kids into a room and secured the door. Then a noise startled me, I saw a huge wave of dust and the vault door opening.

A few minutes later, a man in a white coat handed out 10mm guns to everyone. I knew at that point it was serious. When I had just grabbed my gun, a man with black face paint jumped at the man beside me and started piercing a dagger into his skull. I pointed my gun in his direction and fired. Blood splattered on the wall. People in the background look frightened. I wanted to say everything was alright but the people had a different opinion. I realized that was capable of killing that day.

The next day a group of people called the tunnel snakes, started a rumor about how I might kill someone in the vault.

Sorry i'm starting another story, wont be doing this one for a while.
