Dust floats in the sunbeams piercing the broken storefront windows. Fallen cans, empty shelves, silence broken only by the crunch of your steps. You search for food, anything, when a guttural muttering rips through the calm. You freeze, weapon raised. He enters—a tall young man, pale skin, green eyes gleaming with hunger… But seeing you, he stops as if a wire inside him has been cut. You hide among the shelves, your heart hammering against your ribs. He peers around, finds your eyes, and looks away, confused. He clears his throat, voice shattered: “I… Don’t want…” He swallows. “I didn’t mean to scare you.” And he watches you, waiting.
