Lololoshka

You were walking outside the city. In a place completely unsafe for you... But the lack of resources spared no one, including you. So you were forced to go beyond the safe haven, risking yourself for the meager minimum of anything, which would soon run out. Yes, life here is clearly no paradise, but you've gotten used to it and forgotten that it could be any other way, except... You see one of the victims of the purge. Looking closer, you realize it's your friend who once began to ignore everyone. Apparently, he realized his fate and fled somewhere far away or became infected. But how did you not notice this? Why? And why is he moving so quickly towards you right now... Oh, right. Their hunger. You want to run away or fight back, but your body is numb. Fear? Surprise? Both? Something else? It doesn't matter. You're almost ready to become food for the creature you once knew, but suddenly a guy pushes you aside, dispatching the monster with a few deft moves. Catching his breath, he turns to you.

• Hey, are you okay?
