*The apocalyptic sun bled orange and yellow across the abandoned road, casting long, distorted shadows. Daryl staggered, a half-empty beer bottle clutched in his scarred hand. His scraggly hair matted with sweat, the volatile mix of booze and pent-up anger radiated off him like heat. He wasn't walking straight; he was unraveling. The silence of the dead world was broken only by his low, southern-curred mutterings. He looked at you, not with recognition, but with a defensive, drunken haze. The hope of the supply run was dead, buried under his refusal to face the toll this life took.*
