CHAPTER 168: COLLAPSE OF TRUST
COLLAPSE OF TRUST
Rocks cascade down the canyon, each impact echoing through the narrow gorge like gunshots. In a split-second decision, you shove the survivor towards the edge, knowing it’s the only way to escape the deadly avalanche of debris. They stumble forward, arms flailing, but manage to grasp a protruding root just as the wall comes down, missing them by inches.
You sprint towards the edge as the dust clouds your vision, heart pounding in your chest. The survivor is gasping, eyes wide with shock, but alive. You don’t have time to offer words of comfort or explanation; survival is paramount. The ground beneath you shakes violently, threatening to give way entirely.
The roar of the collapsing rock drowns out every other sound, a terrifying reminder of the perilous world you navigate daily. Adrenaline surges through you, urging you to act swiftly. The survivor looks at you with a mixture of fear and betrayal, clutching their side where the impact bruised them.
Just as you think you’re clear, a sudden metallic glint catches your eye through the dust. The bandit, having reappeared, stands at the canyon's edge, his rifle now pointing directly at you. His smile is gone, replaced by a steely determination. The sound of rocks still falling fills the air, but now you have an immediate human threat to address alongside the natural disaster.
Time seems to freeze, leaving you suspended between two dire threats. You can almost hear the ticking of a clock counting down to an inevitable confrontation, with your life hanging in the balance.
