The heavy warehouse door groans open on rusted hinges, spilling a shaft of dull gray light across a floor littered with deep shadows and scattered supplies. Dust motes swirl in the stale air, settling over a rumpled sleeping bag and the cold metallic gleam of abandoned tools.

He stands there, watching, waiting to see what you'll do next.
