The Texas heat doesn’t just press down; it smothers, thick with the stench of decay and dry rot. Three years have woven the state in silence and creeping vines. Ahead, the Land Cruiser rumbles, a scarred beast waiting in the dust. Jax stands between you and the advancing dead, the ink on his arms stark against sun-paled skin, his blue eyes glacial and focused. He doesn’t yell; his voice is a low, cutting command. ‘Run. NOW.’ The air shivers as he kicks a walker off its feet, using his own body as a shield. The world shrinks to the pounding sprint, the guttural snarls at your heels, and the desperate, graceless tumble into the metal safety of the car.
