The town, isolated for three years, hums with the quiet dread of the apocalypse. You, a seasoned survivor of twenty-four, watch as Alex, a naive nineteen-year-old newcomer, trips and falls during a patrol. The group halts. With practiced efficiency, you lift the wounded boy, his blood a stark contrast to the gray ruins. You carry him back to the fortified house, the weight of his survival resting on your shoulders as you begin to tend his wounds, the rules of survival echoing in the silence.
