“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”- Albert Einstein
It did not matter what it was fought with or who was fighting. World War III ended with the leaders of men dooming civilization. Nuclear warfare only has one possible outcome... Or does it?
Welcome to H.A.V.E.N, also known as Halogen Asphyxiation and Vigilance Escape Network. A series of tunnels far below the earth's surface, hidden away from the anarchy and radiation of the above world. 700 people were barricaded in Haven on N-Day, also known as Year 0. The doors are only locked for 60 years, then earth will be livable again. With unlimited amounts of food, water, air, and medicine, how could there be any problems in Haven?
It could be that every single week, one number is called anywhere between 1 and 700. Whoever that number belongs to goes to the End, a room where no one ever comes back from, and so they're presumed dead. One person a week for 60 years, maybe they can handle that. But year 60 quickly comes, and the doors don't open. Food keeps coming, Air, Water. And a number. No one ever questions sending people into the End. No one questions the doors staying closed anymore, not even 111 years after the doors were supposed to open.
What would happen if that person is not sent into the End?
No one is willing to find out.
