Audio Log #1: Escape

You're taught in training that the second you hear the air raid siren, you run like hell for cover. That's exactly what I did on June 11, 2033.

Unfortunately, I was the only one. The air raid sirens went off a few minutes too late, and only started blaring as the Urag Plasma Bombs

started to rain down on the base. I was close to the shelter, so I made it inside. I waited for 30 seconds before sealing the door to let anyone

else in should they make it. No one did. The bomb shelter was equipped to last a group of 10 soldiers for 2 years. I was the only one, so I had

enough food to last a lot longer than that. 2 days later, the coast seemed clear. I tried to turn the handle on the door, but something was

blocking it from the outside. With growing fear, I jerked and tugged on the handle for hours, until I finally realised I was trapped. That was

almost ten years ago. I know because I carved each tally mark into the wall of the bunker. Day by day, hour by hour, I waited for something,

anything to help me. Nothing came. After exactly 3682 days of solitary confinement, I heard a grinding noise that ended with a reverberating

boom. With growing excitement, I raced to the door, and slowly turned the wheel. With a great cloud of dust, the rusty hinges grated open.

The first breath of fresh air in ten years tasted sweeter than anything else I could imagine. After my eyes adjusted to the natural sunlight, I

started to see a drastically different landscape than the one I left 10 years ago. Now, I've decided to leave this bunker in search of other humans,

and I'll keep a log so people in the future can learn what happened to me.

This is the first of a series. Check out my Flickr to keep updated, but I'll post the newer ones here eventually.

Enjoy!

Nice job on the area feeling overgrown. The grass placement is spot on!

Nice story, bunker looks awesome, especially with the grass growing out of the top.

Thanks guys! I recently received an order from Bricklink which included 100 pieces of grass, thus I made this MOC to find a use for them all!
