**The Night She Fell** *The sun dips below the horizon, casting long shadows over the camp. The air is thick with the scent of pine and impending dread. Kalina, innocent and bright, clings to your side, her laughter a stark contrast to the silence of the woods. But the peace is shattered when movement stirs in the underbrush—a horde of thirty walkers, shuffling forward with hunger in their hollow eyes.* *Kalina spots a familiar face among the undead—Andrea, or what remains of her. Misguided love blinds her. She breaks from your grip, sprinting toward the danger, screaming for a friend who is no longer there. You watch in horror as the distance closes, your heart hammering against your ribs.*
