Excerpt from the sci-fi
book The Closed Tunnel by Anthony
Harold
2022
Luxor Ville, an underground city for the
elite.
3,000 feet beneath Long Island, New York.
Anita Rosenberg
Anita’s life
consisted of attempts to live as if someone were drawing a sketch of her, only
to erase it halfway through and start over. She wanted to be a fashion
designer. Every now and then, depending on her mood, Anita would try to create
her clothing collection on a digital board, but it always turned out to be a
disaster.
Maybe things
would have been different if there had been global Wi-Fi underground, not just
a limited intranet. Yes, she received fashion magazines from the Surface every
Monday, but they only made her realize that her imagination was never enough to
conjure up something radically new. Perhaps Anita had concepts, but visualizing
them was a particular challenge. She could have asked Frances to teach her to
draw, but that idea was beneath her dignity.
Anita was
thirty-seven and had never worked a day in the traditional sense. Initially,
she aspired to study communications. On the day of her entrance interview, she
bumped into Harry Rosenberg, a professor of quantum electromechanics, in the
university’s hallway. Their private conversation went remarkably well. She
pursued her studies for only a year before Harry secured a big, lucrative
project involving underground tunnels.
Overexcited,
Anita eagerly abandoned her studies. She moved into Harry’s mansion and spent
several years hosting extravagant parties while her husband was away on
business. She quickly gained two million followers by posting about her
lifestyle and promoting various fashion items. It became an endless cycle of
addiction to likes and soulless parties where she felt alone in a crowded room.
But this was her drug, her breath of fresh air, her only proof of existence.
She sincerely
tried other ways to leave a mark, even compiling her Instagram posts into a
book that became a bestseller among her husband’s friends and her lovers.
Then came
pregnancy, miscarriage, existential crisis, and eventually, her upgraded
flawless body in exchange for her consent to be buried alive underground with
Rosenberg.
On the one
hand, Anita knew she could have accomplished more if she’d known how. But she
told herself that her life was meaningless anyway. She consciously chose to be
the kind of person who gave little thought to how lipstick got to the store or
where the food in her refrigerator came from. She didn’t worry about the
feelings of waiters and couriers, while at the same time trying not to be rude
to them.
For rudeness,
she had Rosenberg.
He promised
her an even more opulent life here in Luxor Ville, anything she desired, even
her own separate apartment. The catch was that Anita no longer knew what she
wanted. More and more, she looked to the bottom of her wine glass for answers.
And then she
thought, If I can't find the true meaning
and joy of life on the surface, what are the chances they are buried beneath
it? Anita had no idea but decided to try. Going underground is supposed to be even cooler than heading to Mars,
right? The prospect of creating tons of exclusive content for social media
excited her.
Marketers
promoted Luxor Ville not just as a bunker to escape global threats, but as a
vast underground city where you could continue to live your best life.
However, no
one had told her that there would be no Internet underground. Just like on
Mars.
But even
before she got bored, Anita witnessed celebrities and members of America's
wealthiest families descend upon the city. They had a blast at Luxor Ville, but
a year later, everyone had left as quickly as they had arrived.
That was when Anita found out about the Plan.
