A little disappointed that the place seemed to be mostly cleaned of anything interesting, she continued walking the streets of the ghost town, trying to imagine what it had been like before the virus hit. She had only heard of the even through stories passed down from her elders, and even those seemed like fairy tales. Had it not been for the physical evidence of the humans, Kampala likely would not have believed that they existed at all. But the giant structures they had made had certainly left their existence to be discovered by the Luperci and the other animals that now walked the earth.
She passed a residential district, although the houses were in quite a state of destruction. Many of them had completely collapsed, and the few that hadn’t were likely to do so any day now. Kam had been taught from a very early age that entering the buildings was risky business, so she did her best to stay away from them. Not that she had always followed that rule, of course. On more than one occasion she’d been caught sneaking into the buildings near her hometown, her parents furious that she would even think to put herself in such danger.
When she came to the edge of the decrepit town, she sniffed the air. Somebody was nearby, and, being the curious sort that she was, Kam decided to check it out. When she spotted the four-legged form up in the distance, she briefly felt self-conscious about being in her Optime form. However, shifting back was not something she wished to do, so she proceeded with caution in mind. “Pretty, isn’t it?” she asked, glancing back to the city before taking a seat on a nearby sidewalk curb to lessen the awkwardness of her towering over him. Eventually, there would be no remnants of the humans, and nature would take over.
