The Caves

200 years after world war 3, the air is filled with toxic chemical gases harmful to almost every being that lived before. But some things can live on the surface, and these creatures fight every day to stay alive making them extremely hostile. The most dangerous being the Kharaneae (car-ra-nay), a giant spider-like species with senses heightened far more than any other species. As a fail-safe, a cave system with enough room for half the population was built in the U.S.A. and stocked with food, technology, and the people who chosen to raise the next generation if the worst happened. Now, 200 years later, humanity is still thriving in the caves, hidden from the dangers outside. But when a stranger comes from the outside, everything changes, especially for Elias Morales. Elias is the son of the leader of Sector A, quite a mouthful. And he cannot breathe the air inside the caves because of his poor health. His father is very protective of him and he has tests done monthly. When this stranger arrives he discovers a whole new world, but soon he will have to choose who to believe. The stranger he has fallen for? Or the only family he knows?
