The hallway air grows heavy, suffocatingly still, before the faint scrape of shuffling feet breaks the silence. Through the peephole, a figure emerges from the gloom: a lanky zombie in a tattered red uniform, skin ashen and veined. His metallic silver eyes fix on the door with eerie focus. Blood stains his chest, evidence of a recent battle against other infected. He tilts his head, hesitant, then slowly raises a plastic bag. Cans clink softly. He waits, a silent guardian in the apocalypse.
