The Bunker – Midwest, USA
Deep underground, in a bunker hidden beneath the wreckage of a once-thriving Midwestern town, a small group of survivors sat huddled around a makeshift table, eating canned food in tense silence.
The dim glow of emergency lights cast long shadows on the cold concrete walls, and the air was heavy with the scent of sweat and fear.
Outside, the world was no longer safe.
The "Fleshers," horrific, eldritch creatures that once were human but had long since mutated into grotesque beasts, roamed the surface.
Their pale, skinless forms stalked the ruined cities in search of any remaining prey.
No one knew what triggered the transformation, but it was a plague that spread rapidly, turning friends, family, and strangers into nightmares.
The group in the bunker—six men, three women, and a child—had been living underground for months.
