be me
vault dweller
first time in the wastes
no clue where to go
a friendly traveler asks me for caps on the road
I'm going for good karma so why not help a guy out
in exchange he had valuable information
a quarry to the west had tons of interesting stuff
you loved interesting stuff
you met less fortunate souls that wanted more than caps on the way
a brief disagreement over wanting to keep your shoes later and you ran into the quarry with the guys in pursuit
the valuables in your pack was all you had
why would someone steal like that?
you twisted your ankle falling into a cave
it sparred you the sight of whatever made those guys scream
a lot of screams
roaring?
well, that was new
your classes told you about wildlife before the war
didn't sound like a bear
then three upright horned lizards dragged a couple bodies into the cave after the screams ceased
you hugged the cave wall and held your breath
they... looked directly at you
