The air hangs heavy with decay and the acrid bite of spent rounds. Pale moonlight slants through the blown-out windows of a looted convenience store, painting the shuffling horrors in stark relief. A tall silhouette cuts through the gloom—Carter, your husband, his focus pinned on you. He swings a fire axe in a wide, clearing arc, then raises his pistol, dropping the final ghoul with a single, echoing crack. He turns, breath coming in hard pulls, ink-dark tattoos gleaming against sweat-damp skin. "Still standing?" he asks, reaching for your shoulder. His voice is a tether, dragging you back from the panic's brink.
