place was concealed 100 feet below ground. It was the size of two football pitches.
Now, I don’t play a lot of football, I’m more your Minecraft kind of guy,
but even I know that’s pretty big. In fact, it looked just like something you might build on Minecraft,
because it was encased in two feet of concrete.
    There was nothing ornate or subtle about this place, it was a massive
concrete bunker buried under the ground. You reached the main bunker via a 450 foot sloping tunnel.
The bunker itself was incredible. There were offices, control rooms, dormitories and bathrooms.
How on earth could you flush the loo 100 feet below ground? There was a Chapel and even a radio studio. I hadn’t a clue why anybody would want to hear a DJ playing tunes
after a nuclear apocalypse, but Dad informed me that radio would be
used to transmit important messages from the Government in the
event of an emergency. I think I’d prefer the DJ.
    We found what must have been a mini-cinema on our explorations,
and inside they were showing Cold War films in black and white. Part of me wanted to laugh at these films, another part of me knew
how deadly serious they were. They were explaining what to do in case of a nuclear attack. Men with really posh voices used phrases like ‘Duck and cover’ and
‘Protect and survive’ and you’d see old fashioned school children
practising what to do when the bomb went off. It only struck me looking back how ominous the sound of the sirens
had been in those old films.
Error
    Something is wrong here.
    The power should have come on as soon as the sirens sounded. It is 24 hours late. These are crucial minutes. The bunker should be activated.
    This is not how it had been planned.
24 Hours After The Darkness
    It’s only a faint hum at first, and I can feel it as much as see it, because
with the noise comes a small vibration through the floor.
Whatever is creating this must be pretty big and powerful - or
extremely close - as I’m feeling it through two feet of concrete. It is building slowly, and it doesn’t feel to me like a generator, it’s not a
sound I’ve ever heard before.
    Still this wretched darkness though, I’d had a sudden leap of hope
when the humming had started, expecting the lights to come on and
everything to be resolved. What I’d give for this all to be sorted.
A lack of internet access has been the very least of my problems whilst
waiting alone in the still darkness of this corridor.

In an instant, the humming changes pitch, like somebody just changed
the gears of a car. It has an urgency now and I get the sensation for the first time in
however many hours it has been that something is changing around
me, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
    The lights come on. I am dazzled and confused for a moment, my eyes are used to
blackness and all of a sudden I’m immersed in bright light.
As my eyes adjust, I look up to see that I am no longer where I thought
I was. This is still the long corridor, but it has somehow been transformed
since I last saw it.

I don’t have time to question that. Three figures wearing virus protection suits are running towards me
and as they do so the small, red lights from the laser targeting on their
weapons come to rest in unison on my forehead.

Part Two: Disconnected

Chapter One
Revelation
I have never had a single gun pointed directly at me before - let alone
three - and it’s not something that I’d recommend. On TV people wave guns around like they’re toys. Right now, it’s pretty terrifying having these three red dots directly
above my eyes and knowing that at any second - should a trigger be
pulled - it’s all over for me. These aren’t regular guns though, they’re certainly weapons and
they’re definitely modelled on guns. They look more like they belong to a science fiction world than the
21st Century.
    It doesn’t help that these guys are dressed in virus suits.
I’m no expert, but I know that
