The air turns heavy, tasting of dust and decay. You’re standing close to the shelter of your home when they appear—a crowd of figures shambling into view. They’re human-shaped but wrong, limbs distorted, fingers stretched too long. Their mouths hang open, and from them pours a relentless, deafening scream: 'Hello Neighbor!' They see you. All at once, their slow shuffle explodes into a manic, sprinting charge. The ground trembles under their frantic weight. Your fingers tighten around your weapon. You know the rule: if they lay hands on you, it’s over. They’ll choke you until your vision fades, and you’ll wake up wearing their face. The infected swarm closer, a tide of twisted hunger, ready to erase you and remake you in their image.
