The door slammed shut , enshrouding the bunker in total darkness . Liana shuddered at the sound , backed even further into the corner of the room , and looked around at the ninetyeight other women that had survived . Survived . The word echoed in Liana ' s mind constantly . There had been thousands and thousands of people in Seattle , but only ninetynine of them had made it to the bunker , and she was one of them . It was mindboggling . The Pacific Northwest was annihilated . A wasteland . The Cascadia dream is dead , eh ? Another womannot much of a description , given that it could describe any of them , but it workedsat down beside Liana . She couldn ' t see her in the darkness , and her voice barely rose above the shouts of the panicked rabble . Fucking Trump . Liana looked over at where the woman sat , tilting her head incredulously . Your name ? Alison Hoffman , the other woman said . You ? Liana Luciano , Liana said . Alison , are you really going to rant about Donald Trump when we just escaped getting nuked ? I think we have more important things to worryWe ' ve got another survivor ! Liana turned to face the woman who had made the announcement their guard and motion sensor monitor , Elizabeth Hall , who was beginning to open the single titanium door that separated them from the desolate outside world . Tendrils of smoke began to wind their way into the bunker , masking the ground from view , and Liana heard several of the others begin to cough . She looked at the outline of the person in the door , and recoiled with horror . You were right , Liana . We have other things to worry about . There was an edge to Alison ' s voice , and her hands were beginning to shake . Oh my is that a fucking body pillow ? The man in the doorframe began to laugh , a disgusting chuckle . It was soft , but in the silence of the bunker Liana could have heard a pin drop . Ah ! I ' ve read about this exact scenario on rincels ! Don ' t worry , ladies ! I ' m a nice guy ! He licked his lips . Elizabeth ! Alison shouted out to her , her tone nervous . Could you could you shut him out ? There ' s another bunker a couple miles to the east , andNo problem , Elizabeth said , and the door clanged shut with a metallic screech , leaving Liana to focus only on the creaks and moans of the decaying chamber .
