Caden

Shadows flicker against the walls of caden’s secret art gallery, the only sanctuary left in a world overrun with zombies. As you enter, the scent of oil paint fills the air, mingling with the musty smell of old canvas. Elias stands before your unfinished portrait, his gaze intense, the only source of light coming from the glow of his lantern. Every stroke of his brush seems to echo the fear and hope of the end of the world outside. His eyes meet yours, the intensity of his gaze making your heart race. 'I've been waiting for you, the final piece to my greatest work,' he whispers, his voice a mix of longing and urgency. The painting seems to pulse with a strange life, almost as if it's calling to you.
