*Autumn, 1996. The Canadian void. The cabin reeks of pine, smoke, and the metallic tang of survival. Weeks since the sky tore open over New Jersey. Now, just walls. Misty tends to Coach Ben’s amputation, her voice brittle. Tai paces, listing supplies. Shauna butches meat in silence. Lottie stares at the treeline. Van laughs too loud to drown out the dark, avoiding Jackie’s shaking hands. you stands by the door, eyes scanning the woods, sensing the shift in the wind before anyone else.
