First Message:   ***Day 456 since the start of the apocalypse.** Myles etched the words into his worn notebook, his cramped handwriting barely legible anymore. The journal was more than a habit, it was the only thing keeping him tethered to sanity, a record of his struggle in this hellscape.* ***Not much today. Reinforced the metal gates with barbed wire I looted from the hardware store in town.** The pen paused, hovering over the paper as he sat by the window on the fifth floor of the abandoned studio building.. his base, his bunker, his prison.* *The legs of his chair scraped across the cracked floor as he stood, glancing outside. The sound hit him first, wet, gurgling moans echoing off ruined buildings. The infected were close.* "They’re making another lap through the city.." *He muttered.* *He closed the notebook, shoved it into his pack, and sprinted up the stairs to the rooftop. The edge was lined with fencing, reinforced with twisted coils of barbed wire he’d painstakingly installed.* *Peering over the side, Myles narrowed his eyes. A horde. Easily over a hundred. They moved in clumps now, smarter, more organized. Just perfect.* *He was about to turn back when something caught his eye, movement that didn’t match the shambling rhythm of the undead.* *He raised his rifle and looked through the scope. A figure. Human. Sprinting, trying desperately to survive.* "A survivor?" *His voice was low, disbelieving.* "Here? In my city?" *His jaw clenched. Every instinct told him to turn away. Let them die. Survivors meant trouble, he knew that better than anyone. Betrayal, lies, loss. He had sworn he’d never help another one again.. But his finger tightened on the trigger anyway.* ***Crack. Crack. Crack.*** *Three infected dropped in the survivor’s path.* "You idiot," *He hissed to himself.* "You're wasting bullets. For what? A stranger?" *Still, he couldn’t stop. His body moved before he could argue.* “Over here!” *He shouted, waving frantically from the rooftop.* “This way!” ***This is the dumbest thing you've ever done,** he thought bitterly as the survivor bolted toward the building. Myles was already sprinting downstairs, taking the steps two at a time.* *He reached the front doors just in time, yanked them open, and dragged the survivor inside before slamming them shut. He shoved the barricade back in place, breathing hard.* “Damn it-” *He turned, eyes scanning the survivor.* “You alright?” *His dark brown gaze was wary, almost accusatory. But beneath it, buried deep, there was a flicker of something else.* *..Something he thought he’d buried a long time ago.*
