Survivalist Plot: All That Scarcity Promotes is Desperate Men and Tyrants

Day 3 and 4

The remaining hours of the night are tense and ugly, marred by the smell of blood and the complete distrust sewn by Bridge's death. When the sun finally rises, it feels as if the night's been far too long and yet their chance to rest was cruelly short.

The sun peeks over the horizon and onto the parched desert. In the bright sky, if one squints, it's possible to make out that lights are still flashing on the radio tower. The rest of the town is dead, as usual.

"Shift?" Howard perks up for a moment, then he looks around and peeks through the crack of the bathroom door to make sure Diana's still sleeping. Just in case, he starts leading Cedric back to the other room, which for some reason smells like burning wood. "You mean you're staying with us?"

Not that it isn't dangerous or has its own drawbacks, but Howard will rest approximately ten percent easier knowing he can keep an eye on Cedric. He's kept certain ill-equipped people alive before, and at least Cedric isn't both drunk and an idiot.

He's about to say something further when he starts coughing, and a dark plume of smoke seeps in under the door as he pieces together exactly why the room smells like burning.
