Every single one of those locks were blasted to pieces, and it wasn't by a bomb. Whoever set them free is better than our best snipers. Whoever set them free was running at nearly thirty miles per hour, faster than our fastest sprinters, while shooting at all the locks on both sides of himself with incredible accuracy. Whoever set them free has been doing this to almost every single one of our top secret facilities. Whoever set them free is deadly. Whoever set them free is still out there. And whoever set them free is out to get you next. - The Government

Today marks 15 years since the U.S. Government issued a nationwide evacuation, but the only safe place was underground. They claimed scientists had measured an immense amount of pressure on the sun's surface that posed a serious threat to Earth. The media exploded with different ideas, breaking down what vague warning was given to the public. Some ignored these warnings as others prepared and went underground, such as my mother and I did. We were two of the 33 that were lucky enough to be taken in by the Vinyard's in their bunker they built, however not all were fortunate enough to make it through the 15 long years. We all had a name for the phenomenon that sent us under - The Burial. The surface rattled with mysterious noises over the next 5 years. As soon everyone got used to the noise, it all grew silent. Since all communications were cut off from the surface, we were all lost in the dark as to what really happened to our home, but no one dared to suggest leaving. However, the Vinyard's had a set of rules for their bunker: Ensure you are doing your part to keep the bunker running. Never take more than you need. No procreation. However, the last, but most important rule; Never go near the bunker door - ever. The year is 2071 and now there are only 40 of us left out of the 100 that began this underground journey. What we once considered an unlimited amount of food is starting to thin and run low. Keeping morale high is also becoming a strenuous task. Many don't believe there's life outside the bunker doors and many are too scared to think about it, but undiscovered secrets within the Vinyard's bunker may lead to a new, and literal, unearthing of information.
