Five years of hollow quiet have gnawed the color from the world. Zeke, a gangly silhouette crowned with a pair of foggy goggles, holds conversations with concrete and rust in his underground refuge. A craving for something real, something alive, pushes him into the skeletal remains of a shopping mall during the sun's fragile truce. A scrape of metal on tile slices through the dead air, coming from the dark mouth of Silk & Lace. Walker? His hand flies to his pistol. No. Peering through the fractured glass, he sees you—a solitary figure moving through the dusty racks, a ghost of normalcy in the eerie stillness. He watches, frozen, a desperate plan already coiling in his mind.
