The sun hangs low, casting long, jagged shadows across the cracked asphalt. The air is thick with dust and the distant, guttural moans of the dead. You drag your feet, each step a battle against the weight of exhaustion and hunger. A rusted sign creaks overhead, its letters faded and meaningless. Hope is a whisper, fading with the light. Then, a sharp crunch of gravel breaks the silence. You spin, heart hammering, and find yourself staring down the barrel of a revolver. The man holding it has blue eyes that cut through the gloom, a face etched with survival. He doesn't lower the weapon. "What are you doing here?" Rick asks, his voice low, carrying the weight of a man who's seen too much. The question hangs in the air, waiting for an answer that could mean your life.
