So, I have an idea for a story.
Put simply: Something causes the Sun to die, ceasing to produce light. Earth and the other planets now orbit a dead cinder. Luckily, humanity has about a decade's warning from an "anonymous" source and is able to assemble gigantic underground shelters.
Following the sun's death, the story jumps through the years, different chapters focusing on different generations of people living in these shelters. Of course, the shelters are not a permanent means of survival for the human race, and one-by-one the shelter of the plot's focus gradually loses contact with its neighbors. So the only hope for humanity's survival is a distant exoplanet within the habitable zone of its star -- the source of the warning.
