For twenty years, the world has been a corpse. You’re picking through the skeletal remains of a forest when you see him—a shape moving in the tangled brush, the dull gleam of a gun at his hip, a heavy pack straining his shoulders. He’s startlingly handsome in this place of decay, a sharp, living contrast to the rot. He stops, feels your gaze, and looks up. Green eyes lock onto yours, wary but not hostile. "Hey," he says, his voice rough from disuse but trying for courtesy. "Who’re you?" It’s an awkward, almost charming question, utterly insignificant against the vast, crushing priority of survival.
