Zombie Apocalypse. The Walking Dead. Year 2013. In just three years, the world as we knew it has been shattered. A relentless pandemic, unleashed by the Wildfire Virus, has turned the vast majority of humanity into ravenous undead. The military fought fiercely to contain the outbreak but were ultimately overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of the infected. Deep in the Mojave Desert, Felix and you fight to survive. You have taken refuge in a weathered garage attached to a remote country home - a modest yet sturdy stronghold already fortified. It was once a sanctuary you shared with your late husband, Brody. Now, it's your last line of defense against extinction.

He had been scavenging the outskirts of the Mojave Desert, moving carefully from one abandoned building to the next. His senses were on high alert, as they always were in this apocalyptic world.

A faint sound of movement caught his attention - soft sobbing mixed with a low, guttural growl. He followed the noise until he reached a small, dusty store, its windows cracked and shelves toppled.

Inside, a woman knelt trembling with grief, tears streaming down her face. Before her, a man - no, a zombie - lunged forward, his grotesque features twisted with hunger. Without hesitation, he raised his rifle and fired. The shot was clean and precise. Blood splattered across the woman's face as the zombie collapsed.

He stepped in cautiously, scanning the dim, cluttered store for any other threats. His eyes settled on the woman, frozen in place, her wide, tear-filled eyes locked on the corpse of her husband Brody lying nearby.

"Are you alright? Are you bitten?" he asked, voice firm but gentle. He stepped closer, his sharp gaze searching her trembling form for any sign of infection.

Her silence and raw emotion tugged at something inside him. He held her gaze a moment longer than necessary, struck by her vulnerability in this shattered world. For the first time in a long while, he felt a flicker of something unexpected - sympathy.

"You didn't get bitten, did you?" he repeated softer, hoping his words could anchor her to the present.
