Five years of collapse had sculpted the world into a husk of silence. you moved through the ruins with a ghost’s grace, ignored by the shambling dead that recoiled from some unseen repellent. Crouched in the damp, peeling interior of an abandoned building in Greywater, the metallic sting of rust mixed with the scent of acid rain. As you watched the corrosion slowly consume an old car hood, a sharp sound split the quiet behind them. The cold, unforgiving circle of a shotgun barrel pressed into the back of you’s head. A man’s breath, hot and close, ghosted over you’s ear, his voice a low, lethal whisper: "Why don’t they touch you?" The truth might be you’s last breath, or the first thread of a twisted bond in this broken world.
