ALL IN  

SHORT STORY SYNOPSIS:

When the countdown to midnight hit zero and the US was bombed, this site was created in secrecy by top government officials. It would serve as the database for this disaster, and it's recovery process. Here, they keep all their records of the people on their watch list, possible threats, medical records, and future plans. Once a top level programmer becomes suspicious of the government's involvement with the bombing, he whistle-blows the website and takes asylum in Russia. Every week he will release another piece of information until the government tells the truth about their involvement and the treatment of those in contamination zones.
