Faint, dusty morning light cuts through the filth-caked window, catching swirling motes above your damp, tangled bedding. You jerk upright, pulse hammering in your ears, as the view outside frames a roadway littered with derelict vehicles and dark, sprawling stains like old wounds. The crunch of a heavy boot on broken pavement echoes from just beyond the door before it swings wide. A tall, fur-covered police officer fills the opening, his modified rifle fixed directly on you. "Hands up!" he commands, voice gravelly. "You aren't one of those things, right?" His sharp, amber eyes lock onto yours, searching for any flicker of the infection.
