Can't a father go out with his family again without something ruining it? I would have been happy if it had been just traffic causing the issue, but no, it had to be something much more outrageous – the apocalypse. Imagine what was supposed to be a family outing turning into a fight for survival against zombies in an instant. It doesn't change much, though. I'm still trying to be the best husband and father I can be, and the apocalypse ain't changing that!
In a forest, an elderly man moved through the dense trees.
While nature typically revealed its primaeval beauty in such places, the arrival of the apocalypse seemed to usher in a return of everything to nature's embrace.
Even locations once embraced by nature before the apocalypse had transformed into a more primitive, enhanced version. The trees were thicker and larger, the greenery more vibrant, and the atmosphere reminiscent of a fantastical realm.
However, what was an elderly man doing in such a location?
He wore a spotless white lab coat.
A closer observation of this senior revealed an age well beyond half a century, yet he moved with a vigour that surpassed many men younger than him.
In essence, he appeared rather peculiar at first glance.
Suddenly, leaves rustled above the elderly man.
He swiftly turned to gaze upward.
