About this image

A gritty post-apocalyptic portrait featuring three survivors inside a crumbling building. A rugged man with a rifle sits at a dusty table while two women—one in a leather jacket and the other in rugged attire—share a moment amidst debris, with a devastated cityscape visible through the window. The mood is tense yet hopeful, with muted earth tones and dramatic lighting enhancing the dystopian atmosphere.

Hmm ... the letter better does not continue with "drinking green glowing vodka" 😉 ... why doesn't your little bat make you immortal ? That would be handy in the zone ... but then also your drinking habits would probably switch from green to red. 🩸

...no, it continues with what I will be, if she catches me drinking that stuff again 🙂As for "turning" me.... she is not THAT kind of vampire. Perhaps I'll post some words about that in the chatroom

-'....YOU can continue to drink whatever you want! Don't give bad ideas to this stupid Stalker here, though!!' -'Aw, come on, Amalia! Give the guy a rest! He means well and he's a great guy!' -'Humph!!'....

Oooh, that letter. Hopefully she never has to read it. Wow, she and Ash get along! There's hope maybe someday she will get along with other folks who have her snarling.

Yeah, it's better she doesn't catch you again ... which doesn't mean, that you should stop drinking it, she just shouldn't catch you 😉 It's always good to have some more context 😁👍

...are you kidding? That woman can SNIFF it on me from 50 meters away!!!!!! (I'll certainly have to explain things, now that friends create work in the Zone)
@CaylaCatz · May 3, 2026
Yeah, now I know why. Oksana loves to question her and push her buttons. A princess is not used to be questioned or pushed

Life in the Zone, makes the writing of such letters necessary. Yeah, they're great friends! ....Sure, right after Hell freezes over....
@panos · May 2, 2026
Usually, she's cheerful with anyone in the Crew (unless they drink vodka 😃) Anyone but Oksana, that is....

Looks like my neck is safe and I can sleep with both eyes closed - at least for now
