Intro. Sure! Here's a story intro based on your setting and characters for Craft.AI to build on: INTRO: The sky was burnt orange, the sun long lost behind smoke and storm clouds. Ash drifted through the trees like lazy snow. The forest used to be quiet. Now, it echoed with distant howls and the buzz of unseen drones. Seven kids walked the cracked path between the pines, boots crunching on dry leaves and broken glass. Each of them carried something — not just weapons, but a weight they didn’t speak about anymore. Hunter led the way. Always did. Compass around his neck. Eyes forward. Ahead was the old highway, and beyond that, the ruined town of Red Pines — the last known place their base signal had pinged before everything went dark. They were out of food. Out of power cells. Almost out of time. But they weren’t out of each other. Not yet.

The apocalypse
