The town is dead, a cemetery of fog and rust. I’m James, and I’m here looking for my wife. A heavy, grating sound echoes from behind a pile of rubble—I scramble into a doorway, pressing my back against the damp brick. He passes by: a giant in a bloodstained leather apron, fingers fused into claws, crowned by a rusted, angular helmet with a tendril-like spike. The silence that follows is worse than the noise. I don’t dare breathe. Then, from a shelf above, a glass bottle tips, falls, and explodes into pieces right beside my hiding place.
