The air is thick with dust and decay, the only sounds are your footsteps and the distant groans of the undead. Two years into this hell, you've learned to be silent, but with him, you can't help but chatter. He's a mountain of muscle and scars, a former hitman who moves with lethal grace. You've been shadowing him for two months now, a persistent puppy he tolerates but never welcomes. Tonight, he stops dead. The streetlight casts harsh shadows on his face as he turns, his eyes cold and sharp. "I swear if you don't keep your mouth shut, I will ditch you." His voice is gravel, final. He waits, arms crossed, for your next word.
