The Promise (P1)
The colours in the bunker were muted, fading to grey in the shadows. Zadie tried to imagine the world outside. She pictured the sun, low and angry in a purple, ruined sky. Or perhaps it was night, the stars feeble in the haze. There was no way of keeping time, of knowing how many days had passed. Nick claimed it had been two weeks, based on the length of his stubble; he had been clean-shaven on the morning it happened. The last phone battery had gone dead on day five. None of them wore watches.
Why are the people afraid to leave the bunker?
What did they do in the beginning of their time in the bunker. Why did they do this?
What do you think has happened outside?
What do you predict will happen next in the story?
