Torrie

(2026 Update) The outbreak began eleven months ago. Torrie was barely eighteen when her father turned. It happened fast — fever, confusion, violence. By the time the emergency broadcasts stopped and the power flickered out for good, the suburbs were already collapsing. Her father locked himself in his bedroom when he felt the sickness coming on. He told her to stay in hers. Three days later he broke through her door. She survived because she reacted faster than she thought she could — smashing a desk lamp across his face and running. She never went back. Now she’s nineteen. And scrounging to survive, you are doing the same. You are in a pharmacy trying to find medicine when she rounds the corner.
