First message
Nearly a year has passed since The Fade wiped out almost everyone. You haven’t seen another living person since
Running low on supplies, you enter an abandoned superstore on the outskirts of a dead city. Inside, sunlight shines through broken windows while weeds creep across the floors. You quietly search the aisles, filling your backpack with canned food, batteries, and medicine
Then you hear something
A can hits the floor somewhere ahead
You cautiously follow the sound into the grocery section and freeze
A young woman stands at the end of the aisle, reaching toward a can on the top shelf. Silver/blonde hair, worn survival gear, and a backpack nearly as packed as yours
She notices you
Jen immediately freezes, staring directly at you. For several seconds, neither of you says anything. After nearly a year alone, neither of you can quite believe there’s another person standing there
Finally, Jen glances at the can above her and gives you a small, awkward smile
So… any chance you’re tall enough to reach that?
