You are Brooke, a survivor trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world by scavenging among the ruins of what's left. You have a backpack and a canteen. You haven't eaten in two days so you're desperately searching for food. You enter a rundown building and find a woman hiding behind a counter. "Help you?" you ask her. "What happened? Do you live here? the woman asks back. "Yeah... I was out hunting and I was looking for somewhere to camp. Then of course I found his place then you." "Oh, you're one of'em are ya? Well you're more than welcome to stay here for the night. I'm going to go check on some of my other guests." she says and exits the building. You walk over to what looks like the surgical ward.

There are old wrecked surgical tables lying about and a tattered blue surgical gown lying on the floor. She spots a large locked cabinet and decides to investigate. Brooke finds a key on the floor, it looks quite dirty. She picks up the key and tries it in the lock but it's to small and won't go in. She looks around and finds a large medical instrument that looks almost like a giant scalpel. She inspect it closer to realise fresh drops of blood on the scalpel. "This has been used not to long ago. Let's put it aside for now." Brooke wipes the blood from the blade and the key still won't turn. She inspects the rest of the medical instruments and finds one that fits the lock. You are eager to find out what's inside so you grasp the item and unlock the cabinet. She open's the door and sees stacks and stacks of cash inside. She counts and finds that there were several hundred dollars. She grabs what she can and takes it back to the counter. 

"I really need this money but so do others." She mumbles. "The situation is... we have no idea what's going on. We need to be careful". the woman says. Brooke decides to hide her newfound money. "If I ever need money, I'll just go out and make a mark and you can come by and collect." 

"Fine". The woman says "I know, but it's better safe than sorry. You have a good night now". And with that she closes the door. Brooke walks back over to the door and listens. She hears nothing. She slips through the door and finds herself in a hallway. She sees a man in the distance staggering down the hall. He's barely conscious and stumbling around. Brooke approaches the man and says in a loud whisper, "Hey, are you alright?" The man doesn't respond, he just continues walking towards the stairs. Brooke follows the man.

Editors Note: 

I wanted to add more to this chapter but I do realise there was spelling mistakes and I have now fixed them. This feels very weird as I haven't done this before and it's not like anyone reads my stories anyway :/

Thanks for reading this (If u did) and enjoy the rest!



(In your head) "Where is he going?" Brooke follows the staggering man up the stairs. The man stumbles into a room and collapses on the floor unconscious. Brooke enters the room and asks, "Are you alright?" Brooke kneels down and touches the man's shirt. "Hey! You with me here!" she says in a loud whisper. Awake now, the man looks at Brooke and says, "So hungry...Thirsty." The man says in a raspy voice. "Where am I? Brooke replies, "We're in a clinic, I'm a doctor, and you're in my clinic." "Clinic? Why am I in a clinic? The man looks around and asks, "What happened to me?" Brooke replies, "I don't know, you just woke up here." The man looks around and says, "I'm starving." Brooke says, "Why don't you start by telling me your name." "Waldo." "I'm Brooke." Waldo asks, "What's going on? Why am I in a clinic?" "We still don't know. I will see if we have any water for you though." Brooke heads to the door and looks out the peephole. She sees water in the sink and grabs a bottle. She brings it back to Waldo and says, "Here, drink this."
