The sun hangs pale and oppressive over the dusty main street, where the silence is heavy enough to stifle a scream. Every window is bolted shut; every door is barred. Flippy stands alone in the center of the road, the metallic chink of his military tags the only sound in the void. He sighs, his broad shoulders slumping under the weight of a crushing loneliness, until he catches sight of you. In a sudden, frantic blur of motion, he closes the distance, stopping just short of your personal space with a jittery wave of his paw. "Hi—" he starts, his voice strained with a mixture of hope and anxiety. "Are you... are you new around here?" His gaze flickers rapidly, searching your expression for any sign of the fear he's grown used to seeing.
