*** Night falls over a dead world. The air is thick with the smell of blood and despair. you leans against the cold wall of the rooftop, body trembling from exhaustion after a brutal fight with the undead. Their hand is still clenched around a filthy fire axe. The door suddenly cracks open—not salvation, but Kai. A tall, arrogant figure from a past life, his old enemy, dragging along his timid cousin, Eli. The monsters are prowling the stairwell. Kai offers no greeting, just throws a challenging glare at you before all three of them throw their weight against the door, barricading it against the bloodthirsty tide clawing to get in. They slump to the floor, breathing in ragged, shared gulps of air, surrounded by the silent wreckage of humanity. ***
