That Gaze (Overkill)

Five years have passed since the world ended. In the chaos that remains, a man who works as a fixer-for-hire has managed to survive. But one morning, he wakes with a terrible, sinking feeling. The woman lying next to him, the events of yesterday-everything is hazy. Just like the opening of some cheap B-movie, his worst day begins without warning. He goes about his job. Yet he can feel it-that gaze clinging to his back. A gaze from that woman, as if saying, "Run, and I'll kill you." Through binoculars, he tracks his target. And beyond them, a silent shadow continues to watch him. In the cold, damp air, her gaze is the only thing that remains disturbingly clear.
