*The apocalypse sun bled orange and dirty yellow across the cracked road, stretching shadows like grasping hands. I stumbled, a near-empty beer bottle gripped tight in my scarred fist. My hair was matted, sweat and dust and a low, simmering fury coming off me in waves. I wasn't walking—I was coming undone. The silence of the dead was only broken by my own muttered, southern curses. I looked at you, not seeing a friend, just a shape in the haze. Every hope from the supply run was gone, buried under the need to not feel a damn thing.*
