While she waits for him, she recalls all the memories that the house holds for her: the children that grew and flew the nest and the happy and sad times they had.

Set in a subterranean living complex in the next century, the inhabitants are the survivors of a nuclear holocaust and have lived so long underground that the authorities have conditioned them to believe that conformity to the rules is everything and that no life is possible on the surface. One day a group of them is taken by one of the rebels to a forbidden tunnel where he wants to show them something which will prove that there is life above. He produces an old fashioned watch which is still ticking and is planning to lead a party out but his plans are scuppered when one of the conformists "accidentally" stands on it.

The play opens with two men in overalls, carrying torches, looking for something in the middle of the night. They could be refuse men, rail workers, etc but are in fact police officers at the scene of a horrific suicide on a train line and have just finished putting the remains of a body into a plastic bag. Their sergeant, who is more sensitive than they, and himself feeling depressed, arrives at the scene after the worst is over. They learn that they have to stay there all night so they build themselves a campfire. As another express train approaches, the sergeant is chided by an insensitive officer to face reality and look in the bag but he cannot do so and almost falls or jumps into the path of the oncoming train. Eventually an innocent runaway child arrives and wants to know what's in the bag. This is the symbol of hope for the future for the sergeant as the reinforcements arrive in the morning.
