Luke was up to the usual, It was a warm Saturday afternoon, He had just awoken from a long night of partying, standing up and getting dressed, he turned to look out his window...
walking through the neighborhood were several zombies, the living dead.
"Oh my fucking god..." Luke whispered to himself. Immediately closing the window as well as the curtains, he turned around and though to himself "Shit, I gotta get out of here!, don't panic... don't panic... My guns!, where did I put them?"
He ran throughout the house finally reaching his guns, stored in the basement. He quickly grabbed them, An AK-47, which he had inherited from his grandfather when he died, and Two desert eagles, which he had bought himself. He Strapped the Rifle to his back and put the eagle in their waist holsters, he then loaded a backpack full of ammunition.
Sweating heavily at this point, Luke was terrified, the Living dead, Zombies, he would have to flee to a safer area, so he ran upstairs to his front door, grabbed his car keys, and opened the door to the outside world.....
In front of him were two zombies, he grabbed an eagle and dispatched them quickly, running quickly to his car, he noticed a crowbar leaning against the fence, he grabbed it. upon reaching his car, he saw five zombies scattered around him. Quickly he jumped in his car and turned it on, and in a few seconds he had driven off leaving the zombies in his dust.
Driving through the suburbs, Luke could see that they were nearly overrun with Zombies, It was clear he had to get out. He continued driving, but just as he was about to turn onto one of teh main roads, he slammed the brakes, on the road ahead of him, there was a major traffic jam, cars piled on each other people yelling, screaming, and zombies approaching fast.
"Fuck!" he shouted, "Ill have to try the back roads..."

A good ways away from there, Cedric sat in a graveyard, alone, with a book in his hand. His eyes scanned the pages quickly, taking in every little bit of information. A cold wind blew, ruffling his hair and pushing his bangs into his eyes. He noticed a light scruffling noise as he wiped his bangs from his face. Before his eyes, about five yards away, a corpse was making its way out of a grave. He stared, wide-eyed, as the zombie pushed itself up from the ground. Bits and pieces of dirt and soil were lodged in the nooks, crannies, and cracks of the exposed bone and flesh around it. Its face was stuck in a stare, its jaw hanging open limply. It gave out a moan as it pulled itself up, but the flesh was too weak and brittle, so that his waist gave way. The zombie pulled itself out of the ground.. Without any legs. Its spine was hanging behind it, dragging across the ground. Cedric scrambled to his feet as the thing got nearer and nearer to him.. Reaching behind him, he picked up the aluminum baseball bat he had brought with him. Rearing his arms back, he swung and knocked a dent in the thing's face. He raised it again and landed a blow sharply on the skull, and the partially decayed bone gave way, caving inward. Blood and bits of brain tissue blew out of it, making a splat on the ground. Cedric stared in horror, and turned. Kneeling, he vomited, as he could not take in such grotesque scenes. Upon lifting his head, he noticed more and more corpses following the other one, lifting themselves out of their graves. Some were whole, some were halves of bodies.. Cedric stared in horror, not knowing what to do..

Turning another corner, Luke found another dead end. It seemed like in the rush to flee, all the roads had been blocked, he wouldn't be able to use his car. Angry, he drove to an area with relatively few zombies and picked them off with his rifle, getting out of the car, he knew he would have to move on foot.
"Damn... Ill have to move towards the Urban areas of the city, fortify a stronghold and get some food... but if the infections as bad as it seems..."
Luke jumped out of his car, scanned the area, and found no zombies near him. He began to move, slowly and cautiously avoiding any fights as to not attract attention.

Cedric found himself almost completely surrounded by zombies. Seeing a small hole in their circle, he dashed and narrowly missed a clawing zombie. Running, he avoided any limping zombies that came near him. Dodging and jumping over tombstones, he finally reached the graveyard fence. He scaled it and jumped over the top, landing on his feet. Looking left and right, he noticed zombies coming from both directions. Seeing that ahead of him was clear, he dashed, cutting through yards. He began yelling, calling for help.

Luke continued his journey, crossing several zombie infested streets without being detected, but, at this rate, it would take a long time to get to a fortified shelter.
Suddenly, he heard a noise, it was a boy, a teenager, yelling for help. Luke quickly moved to investigate. The kid was being chased by some 20 zombies, and his screams would only attract more. Acting quickly, Luke pulled his rifle off his back and took out several zombies would quick headshots. Pulling the trigger rapidly, with impressive aim, he destroyed the horde of Zombies.
Running up to the kid, he said "Have you been bitten?"

Cedric doubled over, putting his hands on his knees and panting. He shook his head a few times signaling that no, he had not been bitten. He stood up after regaining his breath. "I was down at the cemetery, and zombies were just.. Coming in from everywhere. How did this happen?" he asked. He knew he probably wouldn't get an answer out of this specific person, but he felt that it was in his best interest to ask anyways. He found himself hysterical, rubbing his sides with anxiety.

Offering a hand to the teenager, he pulled him up off the ground, he reached into his left holster and pulled out one of his Desert Eagles, reaching into his pack he grabbed a few clips of ammo
"Take this, you'll need it" he said as he offered the Gun and ammunition to the kid, "We need to get out of here, your screaming attracted a few undead, but more are coming"
Shouldering his rifle, he looked around the area, there were some fences they could scale to get to the rooftops of nearby houses, they could travel rooftop to rooftop without much interference.

Cedric loaded a few bullets into the gun and cocked it, pointing it from side to side. Noticing an undead making its way towards the two, he got on one knee and aimed. "Behind you." he said, pulling the trigger. The bullet zoomed in on the zombie and BANG, hit it straight between the eyes. The soft bone gave way, and the back of its head flew off, exposing brain and blood.

"Not Bad, but we have to get going"
Luke began to scale the fence and motioned for Cedric to follow, without much trouble the two were on the rooftops and making there journey to (hopefully) a safer place, jumping between the rooftops was tricky, and they both almost fell a few times, but they quickly got the hang of it.
"By the way, my names Luke, and you are?" Luke said with a whisper so as not to attract zombies.

"Cedric," the young man replied, leaping from a rooftop. He landed with a grunt, and began to walk across the roof. The house looked rickety, but his fears were confirmed when the planks of the roof gave way and he fell in. The desert eagle fell from his hand and slid across the floor. He landed with a thud and a grunt. "Ouch! Argh.." He looked around.. The house smelled dank and had the distinct smell of decay about it.. There were undead. He'd have to get out of the house, and the roof was out of the question. "Luke, get down here," he said, loud enough for Luke to hear. "I lost my gun, damnit,"

Sighing to himself, Luke pulled his rifle off his back, and jumped down into the house. Gathering his surroundings he could see three zombies, two of which were struggling to get through a closed door, the third was limping towards Cedric. Raising his gun he quickly dispatched the one that was after Cedric, then the other two through the screen door. He cautiously walked to Cedric avoiding falling through the rotten floor. Upon reaching him he helped him up. Turning to the door, their only escape, he found it stuck.
"Cedric, Ill get the door, you find your gun"
He pulled the crowbar off his back and began to pry the door open, with some effort it began to break loose

Cedric looked around and noticed a faint glint under a nearby shelf. He reached his hand under it and found his gun, pulling it out. He loaded a bullet into it for the zombie from before, and cocked the gun. He looked out the window. "Wait, stop.. There are more zombies coming this way. This may be our safest place for the time being. I say we bar any opening and stay here for now."

"Bad Idea, we have no food, no water, and this house is falling apart, we'd be dead in a day"
With one final pull the door came open, he looked outside, there were three zombies down the street, if they were careful, they could evade them.
"Cedric, lets go, be as quiet as possible, the more noise we make, the more zombies come okay?"

Cedric nodded, noting his mistake. He crept out silently, following Luke's lead.

Luke proceeded to walk around the buildings entering the backyards, they were all fenced in around this area, so few zombies lurked within them, and those that did were limited in movement
"Cedric, don't let your guard down" Luke said quietly, the two proceeded to move along the backyards, quietly dispatching of any Zombies along the way, until, they reached a park. The park wasn't in very good condition, with dead bodies strewn across it, and several overturned vehicles adding to the mess, fortunatly, there were no zombies in sight.
Luke ran up to a water fountain, ran the water for a few seconds and concluded it was clean, he turned to Cedric, who was behind him and said "Drink up, this may be the last water we'll ever see"
