As you recall, I have already read this story and think quite highly of it. I am re-reviewing this as I really think these stories posted on the WS should be getting reviews added here from people who were lead to them from this board as a means of attributing their inclusion here with the story getting the attention they were looking for. So without further adieu...

I enjoyed the story. I really didn't see too many issues. (minor punctuation) You do a good job of building Nick's character and making him seem genuine (making a believable character is quite the feat). I found the scene of him reading the book through the vault door to his daughter to be especially touching.

The ending packs a poignant punch that hit me right in the feels. Nick is free after all these years, but there is nothing left for him outside. The eyes that act as a major catalyst to him keeping (relatively) sane beckon him to return. I would have liked a little blurb at the end of him returning to the bunker and being swallowed up in the darkness, but the ambiguous ending has its own merits. Kudos sir, I enjoyed it.
