Every detail had been carefully thought out. Air was carefully uncontaminated and our diets were filled with vitamins and nutritional supplements.

It worked. Disease was rare in the Inner World and practically unheard of in the very center of it, the community which was dubbed the Upper World. Air and water were clean and usable and breathable.

Maybe it was.

The only problem was the Inner World had never been meant to last forever.

But getting there wouldn't be easy.
