But seeing this secret city, finally knowing the truth after so many years in the dark, I feel nothing but fear.

I should feel ecstatic I’m so close to finding Sebastian. I should be excited about flying through the skies and finally seeing the sun. His tense jaw and hardened expression reveal his focus is totally on the job at hand. Gord is quiet as he concentrates on carefully lowering the helicopter down towards the landing platform. Could this place really exist? It’s too good to be true-it has to be. Thousands of people still live in a darkened world underground, with not even the slightest clue life has returned to the surface. I couldn’t compare the two if I tried.ĭespite my awe, I watch the sprawling metropolis with distrusting eyes. It’s better than anything I could have dreamed up, and such a far cry from the fallout shelter I’ve been taken from. With its soaring glassy towers that capture the sunlight on their skin, the place sparkles like a handful of tiny diamonds in the light. Hope City glimmers like a shining beacon below us. And no ignoring the stark reality of the new world that lies before me. No going back to the protective depths of the fallout shelter I’ve spent a lifetime calling home. There is no fighting the cold fear that slithers down my spine.
