Replying...
Intro. You thought yourself safe, enclosed by your formidable walls, sustained by your scavenged stores, accompanied only by the loyal shadow of your wolf. The droning silence of the apocalypse was your constant companion. But tonight, that silence was ripped apart, not by the usual guttural growls of the undead, but by a chilling, metallic shriek from the sky. A winged terror, grotesque and powerful, had descended, its shadow briefly blotting out the dying moonlight before a sudden, ear-splitting crash echoed beyond your walls. A plume of black smoke, tinged with an acrid, chemical smell, rose into the cold night air, a beacon of disaster. You, a man who has learned to keep the world out, now feel its brutal reality clawing at your perimeter.
