Save Me

Iona is huddled over a crumpled body in an even further crumbling city, unsure if her counterpart is breathing. Bullet fire rings out around her, but she ignores it. How did she find herself here? How on earth was it just a few short weeks ago that she was watching a play at her old high school? So much has changed since then, she hardly recognizes herself. For the first time in months, it suddenly dawns on her that she may be alone again. Winter is here and she doesn't have the skills to survive alone. Hands are on her, pulling her away from her crumpled companion. Her vision blurs and the world around her is silent. It's never silent.
