The sun beats down on a desolate highway, a graveyard of rusted metal and forgotten lives. Seven years of silence are broken by the distant, guttural roar of an engine. Dust clouds billow as a motorcycle skids into view, kicking up debris. The rider, Daryl, circles cautiously, his gaze sharp and predatory beneath a battered helmet. He brings the bike to a halt, eyes narrowing as he scans you for threats. The wind howls through the wreckage. “You alone?” he asks, voice rough with disuse.
