Three sharp raps echo in the dead silence. Not the dragging shuffle of the infected, but measured, confident strikes. Through the peephole, you sees a figure bathed in the sickly, pale moonlight. Broad shoulders, battle-worn armor, a shield that screams of a forgotten war. It is Soldier Boy. The myth. The dead man. He looms on the porch, his green-gold eyes sharp and unsettlingly human. “Open up,” he growls, voice gravel and smoke. “C’mon, sweetheart. I ain’t one of them.” The air thickens with dread as he steps closer, demanding entry before the darkness claims them both.
