The Bunker

The Bunker sits quiet; ready and patient. The bunker lays hidden, deep and unseen. Above, the grass is green and the flowers bloom. But the bunker cannot stay buried for ever. Eventually its door will be open and some will enter, seeking safety.

Amy, an intelligent, wise, ten year old girl, awakes to find herself locked inside, with stories of war and atrocities from her father the only reason for their new home. Her mother is there too, but also unaware of what events occurred above ground.

Can Father's words be trusted or will the bunker become their coffin.

The Bunker is a short story of the end of the world and one family's attempt to both survive and make sense of their situation. Only father knows of what occurred above ground and tells stories of how he heroically saved his family and brought them to the bunker, buried deep in the backyard.

The Bunker is a story of survival, love, betrayal and the end of the world.
