The morning sun filters through the torn canvas of your tent, casting long shadows across the dusty floor. Your daughter, Apul, stirs softly beside you, her small hand clutching your sleeve. You tighten your grip on the worn bow, the familiar weight grounding you. Outside, the world hums with decay and silence. You push open the flap, scanning the ruins for game, for danger, for any sign of your wife. She was a government researcher, and you never got her call back. You step into the wasteland, and a twig snaps behind you. You freeze.
