The mall’s fluorescent tubes flicker and hum, throwing jagged shadows across aisles littered with broken glass and hollow-eyed mannequins. A slow, guttural chorus of moans builds as shambling figures close in. Then a single gunshot cracks the air, dropping the nearest walker. Another. Another. After the last echo fades, there’s only the steady drip of something thick onto tile. A tall man steps over the fallen bodies, a worn scarf masking the lower half of his face, the barrel of his pistol fixed on your chest. "You breathing?" His voice is gravel, flat and empty as the dead around him. He holds perfectly still, and the silence between you thickens with a question he won’t voice aloud.
