It was dark when I found her, exhausted and scared. She looked at me with tear filled eyes and I could almost taste her fear. She survived the initial wave of the apocalypse only to find herself alone, afraid, and hopelessly lost. I approached her with an offer of escape from the nightmare she couldn't wake up from. In her desperation a desperate decision was decided and she cautiously took my outstretched hand, a faint glimmer of hope in the red rimmed eyes.
I smiled and led her out of her darkness and in to my light.
She smiled back, eventually and without choice.
