It has been nearly three years since the virus known as X-237a was released out into the world. Little was known about the virus, but what we did know was once inside of a host, the virus would begin to slowly take over killing the host and taking over the body. The virus brought upon something nobody would have ever thought to be real... Zombies. I was one of the lead designers on the virus, but due to a security breach the virus managed to break out into the real world. The virus started out slow, making its way through Australia and soon after the world. Person after person began falling from the virus. Doctors were unable to find a way to cure it, and the army was unable to stop the walking dead - as the only way to stop the virus was to decapitate the body, disconnecting the host from the body. Before we knew it the world had been thrown into chaos, and only a handful of survivors remained - myself being one of them. I have no idea how long it has been since I last saw another survivor, and for all I know I could be the last remaining human on the planet, but that is something I'd rather not think about. My supplies have started to run low, meaning I'm going to need to venture outside once again, something I dread - but if want to survive I have no other choice. [[Go outside and Explore.]] [[Stay and slowly die.]] [[Take your own life.]]

It was close to midnight, the Zombies or Walkers, as I like to call them, became slightly more active during the night, but as they didn't have the ability to see in the night It was by far my best opportunity to head out and find some supplies. I had raided the local supermarket a couple times, leaving the place almost empty. If I wanted I could head over there again and try find something new, but the chances are slim. There are a few other places I haven't visited yet, so I could always go investigate them. [[Head to Supermarket]] [[House One]] [[House Two]]

As time passes you just lay there, taking in everything. You finish off the last of your supplies... As time goes on, you slowly fall into madness. Days go by and you slowly fade in and out of consciousness, and before you know it death slowly envelopes you. Taking hold of you, with his warm arms. You embrace death, as it is the only way out of this hell hold. [[You died]]

[[You died]]

It looks like I have died, I am no longer part of this world. I. Am. Free. Or so I thought. As I opened my eyes I found myself to be in a small room. The heavy dark mist hung in the air. The room was painted black, and was barren except for two doors on the opposite side of the room. Each door sat shut close, each numbered. [[Start]] [[Left Door]] [[Right Door]] [[Do nothing]]

Supermarket it is... As I entered into the supermarket the place was far too quiet. Normally there were a couple of Zombies walking around the place, slamming into objects creating sound, but today it is silent... I walked around the Supermarket for a bit, checking every shelf I came by. I managed to keep track of time, so I more or less knew what month it was and year which allowed me to know what was good and what wasn't - though before long everything will be no good. I managed to find some food, mainly cans of different foods which should get me through the next couple of days. The silent Market was still far too confusing to me. I hadn't run into a single Zombie within any of the aisle. Normally there would be one or two preventing me from exploring the entire Supermarket.. there were a couple bodies around the place too. Someone must have been here, recently too. [[Continue Searching.]] [[Leave Supermarket.]]

I decided to head over to one of the few houses I hadn't explored yet. This house was smaller than the other, but hopefully it should hold something. I left base at around 7 o'clock when the sun had fully set. Thankfully the Walkers are unable to see in the dark, which makes it prime time to explore. The house was only a few blocks away, taking little effort to make my way over. It was a small one story house, white brick walls with a blue tiled roof. There is about 3 windows on the front of the house, with a few around the back. [[Try the door]] [[Look for an unlocked window]]

I continued searching around the Supermarket, pulling out your small pocket torch, and grabbing some more batteries for it along the way. I made my way to the back, checking the area for signs of people. There were roughly four dead and decaying zombies in front of the door to the office. From my previous expeditions within the Supermarket, I had always left the way into the office just in case I needed a place to hide incase I had been spotted by a Zombie - never had I been in there, so therefore it should never have been shut. There must be someone in there. I made my way up slowly to the door, making sure to step over as many of the bodies as possible, and making sure to check they are bodies... As I made my way to the door I heard a footstep on the other side of the door. [[Open the Door.]] [[Knock on the Door.]] [[Leave the Door alone.]]

I decided it would be too dangerous to find the person who managed to kill the Zombies, those bastards are hard to kill. I made my way back outside, leaving behind the memory of the silent Supermarket. There were still many hours of night left, so I could check out a few other places If I wanted. I believe there was some sort of medical store not too far from here. Being able to keep my medicine cabinet full would do me well, though a bite or even a simple scratch from the Zombies could be fatal. [[Head over to Pharmacy]] [[House One]] [[House Two]] [[Return Home]]

As I opened the door, the last thing I saw was a beautiful girl with snow white hair, pale skin with a red face - probably from crying. A body to the side, small, maybe her sister? That is all I managed before a bullet connected with my forehead, killing me. [[You died]]

I guess I will try knock on the door and see what happens. *Knocks on door* Hmm... nothing. [["Hello, is anybody in there?"]] [[Open the Door.]] [[Leave the Door alone.]]

Maybe it is too risky to deal with this, I could end up like those Zombies if I'm not safe. Better just leave this be. It would be nice to see another face again, a face that doesn't want to kill me, but who knows - I might just end up dead like the rest of these Zombies. [[Have second throughs.]] [[Leave Supermarket.]]

I returned home after gathering whatever supplies I could find, that should hopefully keep me going for the next week. *Ending One* [[Start]]

WIP [[Leave Supermarket.]]

After thinking it over again I decided to take the risk - it is a risk I am willing to take. If I keep on going like this, I will be driven to insanity. [[Open the Door.]] [[Knock on the Door.]]

"Hello, is anybody in there?" I spoke with a hushed tone. Moments passed without a response. [[I won't hurt you, I promise. I just want to help.]] [[Open the Door.]]

"I won't hurt you, I promise. I just want to help." I spoke, with a type of desperation in my voice... "It has been so long since I've seen another human." I spoke as if I was on the verge of tearing up. After a few moments nothing came from the other side. [[Wait.]] [[Open the Door.]] [[Leave Supermarket.]]

"I guess I will just wait out here until you feel you're ready to come out. I did hear you in there earlier." I said with as much confidence as possible, thought I don't think it helped much. A few hours went by, and the sun was beginning to come up. "I guess I will leave you be then..." I spoke with sorrow in my voice. I felt if I had found hope, found another person. But I guess they were all false lies to try and cheer myself up. As I lifted myself from the counter, dusting off any dirt, there was a small sorrow filled voice from the other side of the door. The voice startled me at first, as I wasn't expecting something so sudden. The voice was that of a female, there was pain to the voice. "Please don't go..." I turn around, staring upon the door. [[Leave]] [[Sit by the door]]

This isn't working... I decided to head out before it got any lighter outside, I can't risk getting caught in mid day. [[Leave Supermarket.]]

I moved over the front desk sitting by the door. "So how did you end up locked away in this room..." I spoke softly It took a few minutes before the girl behind the door spoke. "We were in search of food..." she trails off, with the sound of tears following. We..... "Are you not alone in there?" I say, concerned. No response comes. [[Poke head through door.]] [[Wait ]]

As I slowly open the door a girl with snow white hair, had her head held between her legs, arms wrapped around her. She quickly looks up, gun raised pointed directly at me... face wet with tears. "Wait I don't want to hurt you!" I quickly panic, trying to not speak too loud as to not draw attention. "I want to help!" I throw my hands up in the air showing I was unarmed. I put a smile on my face, trying to look innocent. I wasn't a big man, around 5 foot 9 inches. My hair had grown out now due to the lack of cutting tools - a beard followed suit - but I was always told I look as innocent as a baby. She holds the gun raised, a dead body lay close by. The body has similar long snow white hair, but is far smaller with a bite mark on her arm, and a bullet hole in her head... I guess a younger sister. The girl looks upon me, gun pointed at my head. [[Sit down.]] [[Move closer.]]

As I sat by the door waiting, there was a noise to my left. I quickly shot up immediately on high alert. I scanned the room looking for any signs of Walkers - and then out of the shadows a Zombie crawls out. I prepared myself for an attack, unsheathing the machete that sits on my back. The Zombie ran forward, inhuman speeds. I dodged out of the way slicing as a moved. The Zombie stood in front of the door, one missing arm as it falls to the ground, a black oozy like substance pooring for where the right arm used to sit. The Zombie turned its head nearly a full 180 degrees. Before it could act and move the body I went for the head. The Creature fell to the ground with a thud. Sounds began to come from outside, more were going to come soon. [["Hey you need to let me in, the Walkers are coming."]] [[Break the door down.]] [[Go out one of the broken windows.]]

As she points the gun up towards me I slowly sit down, keeping my hands in the air where she can them. The gun follows as I sit down. "See, I'm not here to hurt you." Her bloodshot eyes stare upon me, tears still flowing. She looks at me with a dead stare. Her eyes widen as she shoots. ''BANG'' I close my eyes as the bullet fires from the gun. After a moment passes I open my eyes, the bullet wasn't aimed at me, but the Zombie behind me. I quickly move forward, taking the machete out from my back finishing off the staggered Zombie, removing its head from its shoulders. "T - thank you." I say in a slight daze. I quickly shut the door, and lay back onto it. That sound is going to attract more Zombies to the supermarket we need to get out of here... now. There are no doors within this room, only a small window. In a panic I looked around the room, shoving the desk in front of the door in an attempt to keep anything out. I could hear moans coming from out side now, this can't be the end can it? The girl has dropped the gun at this point, hands over her head crying. [[Quickly we need to move, now.]] [[Leave her behind, and grab the gun.]] [[Grab her and go.]]

I decided to move in a little closer, even with the gun pointed at me. I raise my hands over my head palms showing. "I have nothing to hide, on this Machete on my back." I give a little spin to show her I have nothing other than that.. I inch ever so nearer, just enough to close the door behind me. She looks upon me, bloodshot eyes and wet faced. I sit down upon the floor looking at her with a smile on my face. [[Can you tell me what happened?]] [[Stay silent]] [[Move closer]]

WIP

I broke the unlocked door down, seeing the person who had spoke to me before. A Gun raised up, pointed directly at me. Time slowed down as she pulls the trigger - the bullet moving straight past my head, time seemed to move fast again a large bang following with the bullet connecting with a Zombie's forehead. I quickly turned finishing off the staggered Zombie - the head falls to the ground. I slam the door shut, barricading it with anything I could find. Turning around I look at the girl who still has the gun pointed in my direction. [[Nows not the time for this.]] [[Try move in a snatch the gun.]] [[Hold hands up, moving backwards.]]

WIP

I moved over to the front door, grabbing the door handle and slowly turning it, trying to make as little sound as possible. To my surprise the door actually opened. With a squeak the door slowly began to move forward - inch by inch. I made my way inside, the interiour of the house was still rather well kept considering how long the world had been in chaos for. I was in a small hallway, standing, well crouching atop a welcome mat. The small corridor held a few benches with a couple objects here and there, though it was hard to tell with it being so dark. There was nothing in arms reach so I decided to keep moving. [[Keep moving]] [[Leave house.]]

WIP

I move forward towards the first opening - it was the living room. Two arm chairs sit side by side on an angle TV faced towards them. Two corpses sit on each chair, hands held together. Why did this have to happen... why did this damn virus have to make its way out.. [[Check the room out]] [[Continue moving]]

[[Head to Supermarket]] [[Head over to Pharmacy]] [[House Two]]

I decided to move in closer. The room didn't have much else apart from a small circular rug between the TV and chairs. A small table sits between each of the chairs with what appears to an old fruit bowl, now devoid of anything that used to be a fruit. I moved myself closer towards the TV, searching for anything edible. As I made my way to the end of the room, I could have swore I heard something. [[Turn around]] [[Don't move]]

WIP

I quickly turned around, hand to my back clutching the Machete I wear for safety. As I turned, It was already too late. The couple who sat upon the chairs had raised. The male was already on me. I tried holding him back, but the Walkers super human strength was just too much for me. With a bite to the neck, it was over. I had joined the walkers... [[You died]]

WIP

I decided to do nothing, but sit and wait. It was peaceful in this room, no worries. Nothing. [[Contine]] [[Left Door]] [[Right Door]]

I continued to sit and wait having no care in the world. I am unsure of how much time has passed since I arrived here, but i'm dead so who cares? [[Continue.]] [[Left Door]] [[Right Door]]

As I sat and did nothing, a figure appeared behind me. It wore dark robes, and held a Scythe. The strange figure stared and pointed towards the doors. "Pick one, and lay to rest." [[Stay Silent.]] [[Left Door]] [[Right Door]] [[Who are you?]]

I didn't say anything, I didn't move. The entity just stood over me. With a slash of his Scythe. My soul, was destroyed. Ending Two [[Start]]

The entity just stood there, pointing. Waiting. [[Left Door]] [[Right Door]] [[Stay Silent.]]
