Nineteen Minutes to Extinction

Summary

In the dead of this frozen apocalypse, the shelter's fusion core was on the verge of overload.

I grabbed my repair kit and sprinted for the basement, only to have the guard captain's girlfriend, Miranda Dunn, step right into my path.

"Everyone, come look! Zach’s about to dump poison into the vents. He's gonna kill us all!"

Her voice cut through the air as she shrieked.

"I didn’t approve a private room for him two days ago, and now, he wants us all dead!"

The guards didn't bother asking questions. They slammed me hard against the freezing metal door.
