## Background

“Hey, hey. Why so sad? I know! How 'bout we play a little game? That oughta cheer you up!”
The man holding Miles' gun grinned at her.
“I'll give ya till the count of three to hightail it outta here. Better be quick though, cause I'm gonna start shooting once time's up. It'll be real fun!”
The girl's face paled as the man pointed the pistol at her. As she trembled in shock, one of the other raiders tapped his shoulder with a wooden spear.
“Yo, man. We've barely got any ammo left as it is. Don't go wasting it just for a few minutes of fun.”
This made her tormentor pause to think it over.
“True. We can't be wasting precious ammo now, can we?”
Nodding, he tucked the gun into his belt and pulled out the knife strapped to his ankle.
“Then how 'bout I get in a little knife throwing practice?”
The other man sniggered.
“Have at it, man. Not that you need it.”
“Ya hear that, kid? Best you start running now.”
The girl tried to stand, but her body just wouldn't listen to her. Paralyzed with fear, she wondered why she had to play the man's sick and twisted game. Even if she made it out of the mall, he could easily find her again and kill her. Was there even any point in running? She was dead either way. Her tormentor glared at her in annoyance.
“C’mon, I ain't got all day! What's wrong with ya? Don't ya wanna live?”
“Maybe she thinks you'll go easy on her since she's a kid.”
The three men jeered at the girl, egging her on to run as she stared up at them helplessly. Just as she gave up all hope, she saw something strike one of the raiders. It was a long, thick rope wrapped in barbed wire with a hook at the end.
“What the hell?!”
The rope was attached to the arm of a burly man wearing a purple T-shirt. Winding it back around his arm, he started to spin the hook, then slammed it into the head of the raider with the revolver.
“Wh-Who the fuck are you?!”
Hands shaking, the last raider jerked up his crossbow only to realize that he hadn't reloaded it after the last attack. The burly attacker walked toward him, slowly wrapping the rope around his arm until the hook rested in his hand. In his other hand, he held a meat cleaver. Soon sounds of agony echoed throughout the empty mall. The burly man didn't stop, even when the raider was dead. Horrified, the girl fainted as he hacked the body to pieces.
When she came to, it was dark, and the air stank of blood. Stomach heaving, she sat up cautiously. Her hands were still tied, and as far as she could tell, she hadn't been moved or touched at all. Confused, she looked around for her group, but their bodies weren't where they were supposed to be. The raiders' bodies were gone too. If it weren't for the telltale bloodstains, she might have convinced herself that she had imagined it all. The girl stumbled to her feet to escape, then sank back to the ground when she saw the same burly man from before sitting at the entrance. He was eating something long and chunky. His eyes met with the girl's, but he just kept chewing without saying a word. Instinctively, the girl knew she was in serious danger. Still, he had saved her, and if he had wanted to kill her, wouldn't he have done it already? She mustered up whatever courage she had left.
“Wh-Who are you?”
The man swallowed what was in his mouth and answered.
“Pierce.”
He took another bite of whatever he was eating. Horror gripped the girl as she realized that it was a human arm. She gulped hard and tried not to vomit.
“Wh-Why did you save me?”
Pierce tore off a big chunk of meat and chewed it nonchalantly without the slightest change of expression. He swallowed his mouthful before finally responding.
“If I kill you now, you'll just rot. I've already got enough meat to eat my fill today.”
As the girl struggled to digest her horrifying fate, Pierce casually went back to his meal. Even without asking, she already knew there was nothing she could say. There was nothing she could do.
