Most part of human kind was devoured in the continual attacks. The sole survivors decided to flee so they became the playtoy of invaders. And what about the outcast, who'd been condemned to loneliness before the arrival of the invaders. They are the...

The city was far behind me and I was roaming in the nearby forest. The naked trees did not provide any shelter and I just couldn't cover up my footprints which became visible in the snow. The first two days went by without any action. It got a bit distressing that nothing happens. Of course, I did not fall for it.
If not the silencer, the frost kills me. I was shivering in my sleeping bag, but I could not set fire.
On the third day, I woke up for a terrible headache. My stomach was growling, like a wild animal. It was clearly a wakeup call for all my enemies.
And I had thought before that I will be okay without food for a week. Of course not...since nobody informed my abdomen nor my tenant about it.
If I starve, my tenant does as well.
I tried not to think of it. There is no point in attaching to something that is not yours in the end.
Hunger was not the worst feeling that I had, thirst is much worse, worse than summer time. Empty bottles everywhere, but I had the other option, snow.
The temptation was great and I had moments that I stuffed it in my mouth till I entirely froze. I was worried about getting pneumonia if I continue this; it was very hard to stop. In these weak moments, I was just like a toddler, nothing close to a grown woman. I was very far from an sensible grown-up.
A sensible grown-up does not just fall in love with the enemy.
After a long march, I was getting out of the forest, when I spotted a little town.
It gave me a little headache.
Giving a chance to this place was far too dangerous, but I had no other chance, just like before.
It took me half a day to approach it.
Typical suburb area with boring and lifeless parts. If I manage to refill my ammunitions, I will have no word against this, after all.
The closer I got, the more paranoid I became and I was constantly ready to escape.
Houses were totally deserted and everything was covered with car wrecks. But it was still cleaner than a bigger city.
That was a bit disturbing. Of course, it is the best place to look for a shelter, because it attracts fewer visitors.
It was snowing heavily, which provided a better shelter than the clear sky, yet it was just perfect weather to be hunted down.
Almost night time and I still couldn't find any night shelter or food. I also suffered from strong headache and nausea.
I was so deep into desperation that I failed to see the person standing at the end of the street.
30 meters away from me, staring right at me in total silence.
I was constantly prepared till this point, but now I stood there empty-headed.
