Dead Ahead — The Battlefield Z Series

The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the desolate landscape.

As the dusty wind swept through the remnants of a forgotten city, Sarah and Jake huddled near the remnants of what was once a thriving marketplace.

Silence hung heavy between them, broken only by the occasional creaking of an abandoned sign swinging in the wind.

Sarah traced her finger along the rim of a rusty can, the last remnants of canned beans long consumed.

Jake stared into the distance, eyes scanning the barren horizon as if expecting salvation to emerge from the dust clouds.

“We can’t keep going like this,” Sarah finally spoke, her voice a tired echo of determination. “The scavenging’s getting harder, and those roving bands of nomads won’t hesitate to take what little we have left.”

Jake’s jaw tightened, a nod of reluctant agreement.

The reality of their existence weighed heavily on their shoulders. The world had unraveled, and all that remained were skeletal structures of what once was.

Survival was no longer a choice; it was a battle, waged day after day.
