Just as you were about to leave the wasteland, you heard a coughing voice from somewhere. In the wasteland with its clear view, it was easy to find. So dirty it could have been mistaken for trash, as you drew closer you realized it was someone's body. Covered in dust, with clothes torn in places. You could see their chest faintly rising and falling.

You tried to walk away, pretending you hadn't seen it, but against your will, your legs would not move as you wished. You turned back and looked down at it.

In the end, you carried it home, gave it basic treatment, and laid it in bed. Then, that night. It woke up.
