Apocalypse Roadtrip

A group of people in worn clothes trudge over a muddy field. A tall woman holds a rifle in her hand, a short mustachioed man squints over a map, and the last, a tall, blue alien of indeterminate gender, is lazily strumming a guitar and singing a tune, thinking about a time long since passed.

They can all see the UFO crashed into a small farmhouse to the edge of the field. To their mind, it’s too risky to approach; either bandits are using it to stage an ambush or the aliens that crashed are still in the ship.

Sure, there’s a chance they’ll get their hands on a weird alien technology, like a ray gun, a teleportation device, or a holographic disguise.  

But you survive longer if you play it safe a lot of the time and they learned that lesson from hard-earned experience.

It’s better to be careful at the end of the world.
