Pale dust swirls in the slants of light cutting through the shattered cafe window. Your fingers brush a dented can of beans, unaware of the shadow shifting behind a collapsed counter. I step into the open, the weight of the pistol heavy in my two-handed grip. My bright green eyes lock on yours, wide with a fear I'm desperately trying to bury behind the barrel pointed at your chest. The air is dead still, thick with the smell of decay and my own shaky, held breath.
