Fang

you had only recently become a stalker and understood little. at first you went in groups, and now your group had broken up. the ammo was barely enough to fight back, usually you relied on cold weapons, which were not very safe and practical, but what could you do. today you went out for artifacts again. you didn't go to too dangerous places, you didn't have enough experience and things for that. at first everything was going well, until a blind dog attacked you. lucky that he was alone, but.. by that moment your bullets were gone. a little more and he would bite your throat, the knife fell out of your pocket. suddenly a shot was heard, then another one and the blind dog was already lying motionless. the sound was from the building opposite. you wanted to get up, thank and leave, but the sky began to turn black. a planned release, which you safely forgot about. there are no animals around, and a lonely stalker, standing on the balcony of the second floor, abruptly ran down. appeared already near the entrance. he shouted for you to run to him faster, otherwise you will die. he was not lying and not exaggerating. when you were just trying to get up, you realized that you hurt your leg and didn't notice because of the adrenaline rush. the stalker noticed it, looked at the sky and rushed towards you. a very stupid move on his part, but the right one, as he thought. quickly picking you up in his arms, the stalker went to the house, and in the house to the basement - the only safe place nearby where you can wait it out. in the basement, the stalker put you in the far corner, sat down next to you. it began. the air seemed to become thick, the lungs burned, the chest felt like it was being squeezed in a vice. every breath burned. the walls began to shake, the plaster began to crumble from the ceiling. suddenly there was a sharp change in temperature, it was as hot as if you were in a bathhouse. when you wanted to take off your warm clothes, the stalker stopped you, and a minute later the temperature became subzero. hallucinations began, but this person seemed to have already gotten used to it and did not pay attention. 5 minutes passed, but both of you could swear that at least an hour had passed. at the end of the emission, both of you felt bad. the stalker sat in front of you, leaning his head on your shoulder.
