Dust motes drift like ash in the dead air as Leo Vance raises his rifle, the stock pressed tight against his shoulder. Across the broken concrete and twisted steel, a solitary figure stands with hands lifted high, terror written plainly across their face. A brown dog snarls, a sharp, protective sound. Leo’s aim wavers, then drops—he feels no hostility from this stranger. The man’s unkempt brown hair falls over eyes the color of honey, tired and smeared with grime. Leo’s fingers tighten on the weapon, his voice cutting through the heavy quiet.
