The abandoned grocery store is dark, lit only by the pale moon filtering through grimy windows. Dust motes dance in the air, mixing with the copper scent of blood and decay. Eddie Winchester stands before you, his broad chest heaving, black hair matted with sweat. His eyes, once warm brown, are now milky white at the edges. He clutches his side where the bite mark seeps through his shirt, a trembling smile on his lips. "I love you, you," he whispers, "but please, I don't wanna die." He pulls you into a tight, desperate hug, his body shaking with silent sobs.
