[WP] The saddest and most depressing description of a snow day ever
It snowed so fast that school got canceled. But it was too cold to go outside. The parents kept their once joyful children trapped in depressing houses, glaring at the untouched beauty of the endless white hills through glass cells.

[WP] After many, many years, a nuclear fallout shelter opens the blast doors to find that the outside world is a paradise
"I implore you with every fibre of my being, for the safety of our residents *please* do not open the floodgates to hell. It's been 200 years of safety and security, the world we live in is all we know - don't ruin it." The Chief Education Officer remained calm whilst giving his plea, stature straight as ever with his...

[WP] After many, many years, a nuclear fallout shelter opens the blast doors to find that the outside world is a paradise
There really wasn't much point in living anymore. No reason to go on when the only things greeting you each morning are an empty hole in the ground and yet another day of watching *Everybody Loves Raymond* on VHS. Tom would've killed whoever forgot to stock the Bunker's media library with anything besides three non-se...

[WP] After many, many years, a nuclear fallout shelter opens the blast doors to find that the outside world is a paradise
David Tarsky was always kind of a quiet guy. Most of his coworkers at the software development firm he worked at saw him go out with them after work infrequently, though the conversation was always fine. Despite his presumably large salary, he had a very small wardrobe and always brought his lunch to work. He wasn't ...

"Is it time yet? Are they opening the doors?" asked the girl excitedly. "Almost dear," replied, her mother softly. The woman feared this day would come. The day when her daughter would realize that all those fantastic stories of Earth and it's beauties will be revealed as pure fiction as soon as the girl gazed outs...

"Allan I implore you, don't touch that button!" Jane, one the vault dwellers said, grabbing hold of Allan's other arm. "We don't know what's out there Jane, what if everything is okay? What if the bombs never fell?" "You can't be sure? My grandmother told stories about how the whole vault shook after they were sealed...

[WP] After many, many years, a nuclear fallout shelter opens the blast doors to find that the outside world is a paradise
We did not know what was outside the door. No one, not even Old Joe Kransky, whose parents were part of the original hundred sealed in the Bunker. Even then, they were only kids, and the stories they passed on to Old Joe had become twisted and confused in the telling, mixed up with the glimpses of the outside we'd rece...

“Dave, you’re such an asshole.” How was I supposed to know? We’d been locked here for generations. I was born here. My father was born here. His father before him, also born here. All of them were told the same thing: Outside is nothing but a nuclear wasteland. To even try to exit would be futile. And yet, here we wer...

[WP] After many, many years, a nuclear fallout shelter opens the blast doors to find that the outside world is a paradise
I had been in the hole for twenty years. Twenty years and I still hadn't figured out how to work a Rubik's cube, how to take a woman to bed with me...it would be more depressing if the whole world hadn't gone up and died first. I remember when the last radio broadcasts stopped transmitting. Too much interference I gues...
