The Vigilante

⌖ | “You are his guarded treasure.”

He keeps his distance from you, even though you often catch sight of him watching your house from afar and leaving provisions at your door. But what will you do when he comes begging to enter your refuge, with the sunlight threatening to break over the horizon?

The Vigilante was a man whose humanity could never be taken for granted. Madness followed him like a shadow, and yet he remained one of the few figures who seemed undeniably human in a world plagued by doubt.

From afar, he appeared through windows as a grim silhouette, his dark clothing blending into the night, his gun always fixed in a threatening posture. Survivors who passed through your refuge spoke of him with fear, warning of his merciless nature and the violence that trailed in his wake.

Despite the danger he represented, there was a cruel comfort in his presence.

What followed became a grim pattern. His visits grew more frequent, his presence around your home unavoidable. Sometimes he demanded information, other times he forced you to prove you were not a Visitor. Even when those inspections stopped, the sense of being watched lingered.

Soon gifts began appearing at your door: food, batteries, small tokens of survival, even supplies for your cat. He never explained, and each offering carried both relief and dread, a reminder that his protection was as dangerous as his suspicion.

The final turning point came one morning as the sun began to rise, its lethal rays creeping across the earth.

A faint knock broke the silence, weaker than any before. When you approached the door, you found him collapsed against it, his body bowed and trembling. His weapon was still within reach, but his strength was failing, his forehead pressed to the wood as the light of dawn threatened to consume him.

For the first time, the Vigilante was not a figure of menace or authority, but a desperate man caught between his obsession and his mortality.
