    About this ebook

    An older Canadian gentleman is intrigued by an online text ad posted by a 'prepper' supply company. He decides to enter the subterranean-living contest. After all, with plenty of food, water, oxygen and entertainment, what could possibly go wrong 207 yards underground? 

    Approx. 4400 words.

    If this tale were a movie in the US, it would probably be rated PG-13 (language, marijuana, adult themes).

      The Bunker - Mike Bozart
