Dead World

The year is 2033. You haven't been outside in 20 years. The very thought of it makes your legs unsteady. A fluttering feeling builds behind your rib cage. Your hands shake as you hand the bullets over to the guard. The only things your father left you, other than the gas mask you clasp in your other hand. The guard takes your bribe and nods for you to pass.

You walk down the vast subway tunnel, but stop ten feet from the escalator that ascends to the old world above. Time to put the mask on. You pull it over your face and tighten the straps, checking to make sure there are no gaps for the poisoned air to get through. When you’re done, you climb the broken-down escalator one steep step at a time.
