Summary:

The two main characters, Falo and Crosby, are going through a wasteland thought to be rid of other living creatures. Crosby, being a big moose pulls Falo through the wasteland by a sled attached to him via harness. Falo decides to play the ukulele to get rid of the silence.

Soon enough, they spot a big old pile of rubbish, which Falo wants to hop in and try to find anything useful. Falo does this for a good bit so Crosby walks over to him to see if he's found anything, but to no avail. As they're about to head out, they hear something behind them, so they look to see what it is; and it's a bird! It chirps, and looks at the both of them. Then they hear a gunshot, which causes the bird to fly away out of fear, while Falo and Crosby decide to go find what the source of the sound was.

They enter a rundown forest, looking at the dead trees around them, to find a camp with a fire in the middle (still burning a little bit, or out. undefined currently). Falo sees the tent and goes to it and starts sorting through anything found, while Crosby stays back (out of fear, or knowing there might be someone there, etc. also undefined). Cut to a person known as "the hunter" near the camp around some trees, scoped down on Falo, not noticing Crosby who is close by. The hunter decides to move (restricted vision, other stuff perhaps) to a different area behind a different tree or a bush, then takes a shot. The shot takes off Falo's arm.

Falo doesn't show much of a reaction besides being surprised, but Crosby didn't like it very much and decides to charge in the hunters direction. Falo takes notice of this and decides to step in between before the problem moves any further. The hunter, shaken by everything, takes a few steps back and searches their bag for something. They pull out two old pipes connected via some sort of hinge, and gives it to Falo, who just looks at it then sticks it into where his other arm used to be. Falo moves his arm around a little bit, and is happy with the change. Falo and Crosby wave off and leave, whilst the hunter is still wondering what they had just seen.
