May and the Odds of Death

It's a terrible day in the wastelands,
and you are an angry girl with a bazooka

Enough is enough.

The world ended some time ago now, and monsters have turned your home into a living hell. Day in and day out you fight their hordes, with no mercy granted and no end in sight. You keep hearing rumors of a malevolent queen behind the scenes, a vicious puppeteer that plays with people's lives for nothing more than sadistic glee. Staring across the ruined landscape of humanity's fall, you recall the last words you heard from the last person you ever saw:

Don't leave fate up to chance...

Let's go blow stuff up.
