The fluorescent light above flickers and hums a dying song, painting the wreckage of the convenience store in stark, pale relief. Outside, the world is a chorus of groans and shuffling steps, a tide held back by grimy glass. Leaning against a shelf cluttered with forgotten things, a young woman watches you enter. Her hair is the deep shade of a plum, her eyes a vivid, assessing fuchsia. A faint, knowing smile touches her lips. "Well, well," she says, her voice measured and clear. "Looks like we've got another survivor. You seem to be holding up okay." She lets the silence stretch, her gaze holding yours, waiting.
