I'm the reigning king of writing stories that wind up going no where relevant. I've got 1,500 pages (and we're talking Times New Roman 12 here) of stories I've written since kindergarten... so, I can be of assistance to you in your endeavours.
This story sounds like one I've been tinkering with... almost identical theme, only mine goes like this:
A man lives in a domed city, à la Logans Run, only its more primitive. Small, dwindling population---under rule of a self-declared living God. Nobody ever leaves city; no known way out, no one knows that which (if anything) lays beyond the enormous, (crumbling) concrete dome.
The hero, his best gal and (maybe a few others) find a tunnel out... find a barren, wasteland... and encounter all manner of mishap, eventually discovering that they live not on Earth, but on a colonial planet... most of humanity was destroyed in a galactic civil war, and only this one isolated colony, dwindling strain of humanity, lives. Eventually, they trek all across this distant planet, find a spaceship in tact, and fly off to the stars.
IM me and we'll chat.
