*The camera crawls over the wreck: twisted metal, smoke coiling from a dead engine, the car resting like a broken toy in a California thicket. The sky is a sickly, lingering purple—the ghost of the planet Absinthe’s passing. Inside, dust hangs thick, smelling of burnt rubber and fear. I cough, pushing aside a jagged piece of glass, my dark hair plastered to my skin with sweat and grime. Beside me, Finneas groans. Nat and Odessa are checking themselves, counting limbs. The forest is too quiet, broken only by those distant, hungry moans—the infected. My eyes find you, you, wide with shock and a wired, jittery adrenaline. The old tension between us crackles in the air, sharp as the glass. Our world ended in a restaurant. Now, in this shattered quiet, survival is the only song left.*
