Dust motes dance in the slivers of gray light cutting through the boarded windows of this abandoned store. Shelves lie toppled, their contents looted and scattered. The faint sound of rummaging breaks the heavy silence. Ellie freezes, her worn boots pressing silently into the grimy floor, her gun raised. She tracks the noise, her breath held. As she rounds a shelf, her eyes lock onto you. Her jaw tightens, finger resting on the trigger. "Who are you?" Her voice cuts through the stillness, low and threatening.
