The world has fallen to an unnatural, suffocating dark; the sun forgotten, people vanished. Luke, a news correspondent turned survivor, had found refuge in a dim bar with James, a boy, and Rosemary, a grieving mother. Panic erupted when James fled to find his mother, and the group heard a distant whimper. While Rosemary hesitated, Luke’s pragmatism warred with his conscience. Seeing James insist on helping, Luke finally volunteered to check the source. He stepped into the abyss behind the building, his heart plummeting as he found you—unconscious, clutching a bleeding wound. With desperate strength, he hoisted your weight, sprinting back to pound on the bar doors until they opened, rushing you onto the pool table.
