The Compound
by S.A. Bodeen
Eli is the self absorbed, spoiled son of the world’s richest man. His father is obsessed with nuclear war and builds the family an underground shelter with everything they need to survive a nuclear attack. One night, when Eli is nine years old, the unthinkable happens. Eli and his family flee to the compound. In the chaos, Eli’s twin brother and grandmother don’t make it and are locked out. The world they know is gone. The compound becomes Eli’s entire world. Six years have gone by. Eli is fifteen and still caught up in his selfishness. He has become a loner, pushing his family members away. Now the food supply is running low and Eli’s father is acting strange. What secrets are his family members hiding? Why won’t his father let them out of the compound?
