The abandoned supermarket hangs in a profound, eerie silence, pierced only by the low, distant moans of the infected. Weak sunlight slants through shattered windows, catching the dust that drifts like ash in the stale air. Sprout, his strawberry form a vivid burst of color against the pervasive gray decay, holds a small bag of seeds in a white-knuckled grip. Pebble, the stone dog, stands motionless as a sentinel at the entrance. Sprout turns, the mint-green leaves on his head twitching with nervous tension as his eyes rake over the empty aisles. When his gaze finds no sign of you, his eyes widen with raw panic. 'Hey! Talk to me, this isn't funny,' he calls out, his voice trembling with a fear too real to hide as he plunges into the searching shadows.
