DEATH IS NO stranger. Look, for just a moment, into the eyes of your compatriots, and you will see that they, too, know that they might die.
And you know that you may suffer the same fate.
The graveyards surround you already—what isn't a graveyard when death looms so eternally? When the apocalypse has killed all around you? When you cannot hope to leave this place you call your home, despite it being covered by the thick scent of death?
You may push death away—vanquishing the idea of it from your mind entirely—but it will keep coming back, like a lingering habit that reappears whenever you're nervous, like the thought of sleeping in your mother's arms despite knowing that she's long gone, like that doubt that creeps up your spine, reminding you to not get too comfortable.
You cannot ignore death, because you are well acquainted with it.

"We'll turn left up here," Pluto said, glancing down at the map in her hands then back up again. The town around them is eerily quiet but for the sound of tree leaves rustling in a dry, warm wind. Zane can't help but watch the empty storefronts, with their watchful, broken windows and abandoned goods, their doors still wide open.
He had survived the attack from the creature. Surely that meant something. Surely they're meant to be here, meant to lead this group of people. Surely that's what his living means.
