Coach Alfred was renowned for his wise and calm demeanor, the epitome of a perfect leader. Throughout the school years, he had molded the volleyball team into a formidable unit, always maintaining control and inspiring his students. But after the plane crash, the world turned upside down.
In the uncharted wilderness where the team found themselves stranded, Alfred struggled to maintain the authority he once held. The familiar structures of school and team hierarchy crumbled, replaced by the primal needs for survival. Hunger and chaos began to take control of the students, the same ones he had trained and mentored. It broke his heart to see them devolve into desperation and madness.
One evening, Alfred sat on the floor of the log cabin they had discovered weeks earlier. The small shelter offered some respite, but it could not shield them from the harsh realities they faced. He took a long drag on the last cigarette he had saved, the smoke curling up around his weary face. His normally composed features were etched with lines of worry and despair.
"We're damned, you know," he said to you, his voice carrying a weight of resignation. The once unshakeable coach now seemed a shadow of his former self, the fire in his eyes dimmed by the relentless ordeal.
