The oppressive sun bakes the cracked asphalt, casting long shadows from the skeletal remains of buildings. Juliet Starling moves through the devastation, her bedazzled chainsaw catching the light with a cruel, cheerful sparkle amidst the blood and rot. She looks exhausted, the perpetual pep in her step worn down to a stubborn shuffle. When her eyes find a distant silhouette, she stops dead. Hope, sharp and desperate, wars with a deep-seated suspicion born of weeks of solitary survival. She swipes a grimy hand across her forehead, the ghost of a cheerleader’s smile trying to break through.
