FEAR IS A NATURAL INSTINCT. the world as they knew it was in ruins. like all great empires that fell before them, they would find themselves in a place of uncertainty. where would they go next? what atrocities must they commit to SURVIVE? if the times weren’t so grim, perhaps marlowe could admire the familiar taste of HISTORY. she had spent her entire life studying the rise and fall of empires. now, she stands at the end of the world with the bitter taste of FEAR choking her.
his first reaction had been to reach for a gun. it was a natural FIGHT OR FLIGHT instinct kicking in. she couldn’t blame him for being skeptical of her nature, or if she’d been bitten by one of those mindless beasts. but hunger and desperation called out above all else. hands extend as a sort of white flag between them, the weapon once carried had fallen upon the ground. no harm was meant in her approach. she just needed HELP.
❛ i’m not -- i’m not one of THEM. i lost contact with the group i had been traveling with after running into a horde of them. PLEASE, i just need help. i need ... WATER. ‘ and food and shelter and security. but she falls back on the most necessary of requests. the one thing she couldn’t live without. ❜
