"Reyn?"
"Yea?" Reyn calls from down the hall.
"When is the party?"
"In 10 minutes, Mom." Reyn calls back.

Reyn as small girl, with semi-long red curly hair.
A bow hangs on Reyn's back, a quiver on her hip.
Reyn, lives on Earth. The Earth before its doom. Reyn lived just before the end. She lived with a woman named Julie- which Reyn had always known as Mom, but Julie was not Reyns mother. Snow comovered the ground where they were. And where they were- was California. Nuclear Winter. That is all Reyn had known. The sun was still in tact, but the nuke that struck years and years earlier, was no longer in tact.

Reyn leaves for the party. "The "Party" was not actually a party, but scavenge time. Reyn sets out from their small underground shelter, into the think snow. Her hair whips around her face with the attic winds. But she ignores it.

Kill her?
I don't think we should.
Come on Ira...She's one of the last ones.
That is why we can't kill her.
Why?
She is one of the last humans, alive. If we kill her human may become extinct.
And what do you want to do with her?
We can take her.
Where? Marko?
I was thinking Arlo.
Do what you want. I'm not getting involved in this any more.
Got it.

Reyn pulls the string back, the arrow with a light curve. A small piece of charcoal is wedged in the tip of the arrow. It's lit.
Reyn lets the arrow fly- and it collides with the tree, missing the 3 headed deer. The Tree explodes into flames, and the deer runs.
---
Reyn runs her face burnin as the fire spreads all around her. As she is swallowed by the flames, she screams. Only one thing hears her. And does nothing.
