Description
Gunshots drew her to the town off the main highway. Some cowboy shooting the place up. Who knew what its name was, she named it fubar town on a whim. It was packed with diseased clones, they had swarmed her as soon as she motored in. The guy shooting had the whole place buzzing like a kicked ant colony. Luckily his shooting spree had them following him like moths to the flame. It gave her a chance to do a little looking before swinging around to get her motorcycle.She never really looked at them, just blast them and move on quickly before too many more show up and overwhelm you.
This time she had to stop and reload.
Maybe the croaking gurgles of the thing as it tried to talk made her look? The ripples in the water as it reached out to her?
In the end she looked at it.
A face she'd seen a thousand times in the mirror gazed up at her.
Her clone sister, twisted, insane, diseased and dieing from three shotgun blasts she had put into its...her chest, but it was her clone.
She didn't know what madness gripped her, compassion? Empathy? Gazing down on her clone sister; dieing in the gutter, in the harsh glare of the desert sun. She reached out to hold her sisters hand as she died.
....
"Well you can see what that got me. SOB grabbed me from behind and bit right into my carotid artery, bled out in minutes. Seems I died before my sister did in the end.
Dirty trick of it all is I got to go back for my cycle, shotgun, and pistols. Need some clothes too, diseased clones eat what they can catch...pity....I liked my shorts.
I think I'll pass on burying my own remains, or whats left of them. Clone life is weird enough as is, without me making it weirder on myself.
Footprints in the dust. Looks like our cowboy got eaten too. Well misery loves company and its five mile hike in the baking sun, naked."

Great job on the image and story with it!! And yes, the water reflection is a really great touch to the scene.

Amazing image. I would agree on the streets being too clean, and I think the water in the street could have some more ripples (is that the right word?)- Disturbance from the people in the water. It looks a bit too calm.
Other than those details, it's close to perfect imo.

Great work, I just love the water on the street, fantastic. Only thing I would say that your missing, is trash, or rubble...for a wasteland, the streets are a too bit clean.
