Experiencing Interruptions?

Midnight

A young guy spends seemingly carefree hours of his life playing video games, reading comics, and eating everything that doesn't fit. But one day his serene life is interrupted by an urgent notification of the beginning of the third world war. Midnight struck on the clock of the Apocalypse. The hero calls his mother, who informs him that he and his father are already in the bunker and the doors will be closed in ten minutes. Will it be able to make it in time or will it turn into radioactive ash?
