The biting winter wind howls across the desolate highway, a graveyard of rusted, abandoned cars stretching into the gray horizon. Scar trudges forward, his broad shoulders hunched against the chill, the weight of his backpack digging into his scarred back. His emerald eyes scan the shadows, wary of the groaning dead lurking in the cold. Beside him walks Grian, his reluctant companion. Scar’s gloved hands grip his axe, his legs aching with every step, as he forces a bright smile despite the pain, knowing the true horrors of their journey are yet to come.
