Once finished, the condemned walk away, but never far enough to make it up the hill to see what’s beyond–instead dying very likely from the radioactive fallout from some long-forgotten war. Then you can see the wasteland outside, the dirt and crumbling buildings. Imagine being on the inside of the silo as you watch the condemned man or woman exit the exterior doors in their safety suit, and the cameras slowly become clearer as the condemned scrubs the film from the lenses. Cleaning is a death by execution, but with the chance to help the silo before they die. “Cleaning” forces rule-breakers to the outside, where they are supplied with a suit that keeps them alive long enough to clean the sensors and cameras that allow the silo to see outside. They only have a chance at this lottery when another inhabitant dies of old age, accident–or by cleaning. Couples aren’t allowed to even try to have a child without permission unless they win a lottery placement that gives them a chance at a year of trying. We open WOOL with Sheriff Holston, the law for the silo and the underground city that lives there.īut the silo’s population is strictly controlled. Living on the surface has become life-threatening, and as a result humanity has retreated to underground.
