    Summary

    “No, no, just listen - listen!” Rob stumbles backwards as Joel advances, the door to their ramshackle cabin swinging open. “We don’t have the cards we promised, but we have something! Let me just - let me just show you.”

    He practically trips over his own feet to get to one of the other doors; Joel follows him almost leisurely.

    Rob throws the door open - a shuffling and clanging sound emanates from within - and despite his better instincts, Joel finds himself curious. He steps over the threshold and turns to the right, hand going tight on his knife –

    It’s a girl.

    Summary

    She's whiter than sin and beat to hell, blood crusted up under her nose and around her mouth when he gently lifts the poorly stitched together sack up and away from her face with hands that don't feel like his own.

    All of maybe seven or eight, if he had to guess, kids somehow looking both younger and older than they're meant to these days.

    She looks like a baby to him, her features all soft despite being so damn thin.

    With an odd sense off detachment, he rolls up her sleeves and checks both arms before moving onto her legs in search of any sign that's she's been infected, but the tell-tale climb of Cordyceps is nowhere to be found, no bite mark to mock him. Not on her back that's a swirl of blackened bruising and bumpy spine or on the hollow of her stomach that's just as tender and hard to look at, the cut of her ribs striking.

    There ain't a thing on her outside of a list of hurts that's a mile long and etched into her skin.

    Joel stumbles on Ellie at the bottom of a pile of dead bodies meant for the burn pits, one shallow breath and a steady heartbeat is all it takes to undo him.

    Summary

    For reasons she can't begin to understand or find the will to want to, the only thing that can manage to quell the nausea making her gut clench uncomfortably is if she plunges her left hand into the cold trickle of the rocky stream she's supposed to be getting water from.

    Not her right, her left, and only her left.

    She hiccups and burps, moaning low as she curls over her thighs with her head nearly touching her knees, the roll of her stomach dizzying.

    The early morning chill of dawn is making it worse, her muscles coiling tight in a shiver that makes her mouth water dangerously, and she swears on everything that she is, the scent of dewy pine needles catching in the breeze is not fucking helping either.
