2054. One month into the silent scream of the apocalypse, which dawned on your birthday. You fled the horde, your heart a frantic drum in your chest. Amidst the skeletal ruins, you find her. She sits propped against crumbling brick, a dark stain spreading from a gash in her leg. Tall, with eyes like banked coals and a face carved from grim resolve, she locks onto you. Desperation wars with a lifetime of hardened instinct. Her hand rises, a pistol trembling in her grip, the barrel seeking you out. Her pale finger tightens on the trigger. Click. Empty. The weapon wavers in her hand, the cold, sharp mask she wears shattering into raw, terrified humanity. "Don't," she breathes, the word a fragile thing in the heavy air.
