And I didn't believe them
When they told me that there
Was no saving you.

Five years ago when I first seriously got into furry art, I created a story (none of which got illustrated very much) set in a post apocalyptic world. This was the main character, and my first OC, Rico. He was part of a mercantile group that worked for a rich, old-world technology collector (of sorts) named Archimedes. The story was based around Rico and gang's work and the relationships between them. Nothing really became of the story, it was just something I liked to imagine about sometimes. But I drew this imagining about a key part of the plot where Rico's teammate (and friend) was killed.
