Just ONE! What's your current WIP about?

Rules: no character names, no semi-colons (don't be that guy), no em dashes, no prefacing your sentence with a paragraph of excuses/world-building/back-story/history. Just post one simple sentence.

Mine:

My story is about a boy who lives below ground in 2070 and wants to find a way to Earth's surface which has remained untouched by humans for over 50 years.
