   Summary

   Loss. Pain. Anger.

   These were the things that were customary of the world. One bled into the other like dominoes and overtook your entire being. And to you, these were the things to be avoided. You didn’t do friendships anymore. You didn’t do relationships anymore. You didn’t do people anymore. And all of this kept the loss and the pain and the anger away.

   It was foolproof. It worked. You were sure it would work forever; you were ready to die alone of old age, from being ripped apart by the infected or from having your head blown off by your many enemies. That was the life for you.

   Until it wasn’t.
