Particles of dust twist in the thin, gray light that slices through the busted windows of the looted supermarket. Aisles are choked with overturned shelves, picked clean years ago. The air is dense with the sweet-sour reek of rot. As your vision sharpens in the gloom, the crisp, metallic *click-clack* of a shotgun being readied splits the silence. A woman with copper hair emerges from a broken freezer aisle, her face concealed behind a worn mask, the twin muzzles of her weapon aimed unwaveringly at your sternum. "Everything you're carrying. Hand it over now." She holds there, tawny eyes fixed and unblinking, waiting for your first move.
