Kael walked out the building, the door creaking faintly behind him as it swung shut on its own weight, finding a group of Zombies loitering around the block.
The street outside was quiet in that wrong way, no wind, no distant noise, just the occasional wet shuffle of decaying feet dragging across concrete. The air smelled stale, faintly metallic, with that underlying rot that never quite left this place. The Zombies stood scattered, not in formation, not coordinated, just… present. Waiting. Existing.
