The Post-Apocalyptic Metro System

Life in the tunnels was never easy, but it was our home. I felt no small amount of comfort seeing the same people day to day, it was my shelter and place of security. I had just turned twenty and could not have imagined what would happen the morning my father left for the nearby station of Polis...


My father left for Polis many times through out my life, leaving for days at a time, leaving me to fend for myself. This is what I was used to; this was part off the routine of my life.


As I watched the airlock close behind him I felt as if it would be the last time I would see him, this was something everyone felt when a loved one entered the tunnels…because as long as they were in a tunnel, they would never be safe. The thought was quickly dismissed by the alarm going off; it signaled an attack on the forward blockade. It was something that was so routine that I would sometimes feel strange on the days when all was silent, as it put me in an uneasy state. I picked up my Kalash, some ammo, and my gas mask before heading off to my post, what ever it was , we were going to be ready...

And i was just about to get back to sleep, well i guess not now after that alarm went off. The young teen would sighed as he rolled of his makeshift bed and slowly stood up watching all the people around him run to there posts. Guess its my time to shine and show them what i can do.

Watch me father, watch me from a better place. I will make you proud of me and our name, i promise.

There was a pause as the teen stood there watching, this was the first time he had seen one of the many blockades placed around the metro tunnels and boy was it a thing to see. At lest 10 or so men with there rifles pointed towards the enemy who are throwing themselves at our bullets. The teen grinned and stepped up next to another member of there tunnel and aimed his AK-47 the same way and waited for a target, He was ready.

(forgive my noobness. I'm new and have never played Metro 2033 >.<)

Ugh... Alex thought. Feeling lightheaded.... he mumbled to himself as the man next to him dropped, unconcious. He checked his AK once more and found he has forgoten to load the clip..... No thats not right I loaded it I remember.... Something isnt right here he thought. He loaded another clip; cocked it and looked up an inch only to realize he was spraying rounds out the barrel on full auto... Click.... Empty....
