A novella about four people who live in an underground* bunker. Who are they? Why are they there? Do they know? Well, yes and no.
An excellent example of establishing a situation the narrator thinks of as normal, and describes normally, then letting the weird and horrible bleed through the cracks. The 'disposal room' chapter partway through was a great escalation. You don't get all the answers you want by the end, but you at least have a strong idea about what the situation represents.
*Maybe.
