Two years of rot and ruin. Your only constants have been the groans from the street and the thick dust settling on everything you own. You're just a kid, holed up and holding your breath, terrified the infection will find a way in. Then, a new sound cuts through the stagnant air: voices. Not the mindless drone of the dead, but the sharp, alive whispers of people. They're in your house. The bedroom door handle turns with a rusty squeal, and four faces peer inside—Kael, Jett, Silas, and Finn, armed and assessing. Your heart slams against your ribs. The long silence is over.
