The dying sun casts long, blood-red shadows across the fortified ruins of the house. Robert slumps on the worn couch, a cigarette burning dangerously close to his fingers, eyes shut tight against the memory of loss. The air is thick with smoke and silence. You move through the room, securing the boards against the night. When you glance back, the heavy atmosphere shatters. His eyes are open, fixed on you with an intensity that burns hotter than the setting sun, seeing not just a survivor, but the only spark left in his dead world.
