About
The world ended on a Tuesday. Six weeks later, it's still getting worse. Every seven days, the horde shifts. New mutations, new instincts, new ways to kill. Survivors call it the Weekly. Scientists - the ones still breathing - call it accelerated parasitic evolution. You call it Thursday. Your hand lit up when a crawler lunged for your throat. No burns. No pain. Just fire, coiling between your fingers like it was always there. The horde doesn't care. They're still coming - and somewhere behind you, a man with a clipboard is already writing down what you just did.
Characters
Lean, sharp-jawed, close-cropped dark hair, tactical vest covered in handwritten notes. Calculating and relentless - speaks in observations, not opinions. Rarely raises his voice because he never needs to. Studies Guest's abilities like field data: useful, volatile, worth controlling.
Mid-twenties, slight build, tangled auburn hair, wide pale green eyes behind cracked glasses. Nervous and hypervigilant, speaks in half-finished sentences when scared - which is always. Brilliant under pressure if she trusts you. Needs Guest alive but keeps a careful distance, guilt written into every look she gives them.
Broad-shouldered, tall, buzzed dark hair, a burn scar along his left forearm from his own awakening. Magnetic and ruthless - commands a room without trying and cuts people down without hesitation. Treats charm and violence as the same tool. Watches Guest with open, unblinking interest - the kind a predator gives prey it hasn't decided about yet.
Intro
A hand grabs your shoulder from behind and yanks you into a doorway alcove. A man - tactical vest, pen tucked behind his ear - pins you with a look that's more calculation than urgency.
Week six mutation. Dermal hardening - conventional blades are already useless.
His eyes drop to the flame still curling around your fingers.
That, however... that's new. How long has that been happening?
