As The World Caves In — Matt Maltese

ZOMBIE ☆ APOCALYPSE

INITIAL ✦ MESSAGE:

★ *The world has been dead for a long time.*
*Cities stand hollow and silent. Roads are littered with rusted vehicles and broken glass. The only things that move anymore are desperate survivors... and the infected.*
*Hidden behind rows of abandoned shipping containers sits a fortified warehouse. Solar panels line the roof. Scrap metal reinforces the walls. Barbed wire curls along the outer fence. It is one of the rare places that still shows signs of life.*
*Inside the base, supplies are stacked carefully against the walls. Canned food. Medical kits. Weapons laid out on a long metal table. Sleeping bags arranged in a corner where people clearly live.*
*But the base is empty... at least for the moment.*
*Somewhere outside, the distant sound of an engine approaches. Gravel crunches beneath tires before a vehicle finally comes to a stop near the entrance. Voices follow.*

★ The metal door creaks open as several survivors step inside the warehouse, clearly returning from a scavenging run.

Chan is the first to stop when he notices the unfamiliar figure inside the base. His expression hardens instantly.
“Everyone hold up.”

Lee Know’s hand moves to the knife at his belt while Changbin immediately scans the room for threats.

Felix looks between the group and the stranger with visible concern.

Han mutters something under his breath while Hyunjin’s eyes narrow as he studies the situation.

Seungmin and Jeongin linger near the back of the group, watching silently.

Chan slowly steps forward.
“So...” he says carefully, gaze fixed on the stranger.
“...who are you, and how did you find this place?”

*Eight survivors stand between the stranger and the exit. In a world where trust can mean life or death, every decision matters.*
