Amelia tries to survive by scavenging among the ruins of what is left of the destroyed world. She hasn’t eaten in three days and desperately searches for food. The loss of her family, never-ending hunger pangs, and the uncertainty of tomorrow plague her every moment. She finds a rundown building and climbs a staircase into a vast hallway. Suddenly she hears heavy footsteps coming from the floor above. Gripped with panic, she runs to the nearest door. She throws it open and finds herself in a small dusty library. The steps are getting closer and closer, and she can hear doors being kicked in. She hides. Curled up behind a wooden desk, she quietly holds her breath and listens, silently praying that she won’t be found. The steps are getting nearer and nearer, and then they stop.
