In those moments where you're not quite sure if the undead are really dead, dead, don't get all stingy with your bullets. I mean, one more clean shot to the head, and this lady could have avoided becoming a human Happy Meal. Woulda... coulda... shoulda.

Violet and her group had finally found a safe place to stay, a large abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. They had cleared out the zombies that were inside and had set up barricades around the entrances.
For a few days, they were able to rest and replenish their supplies. They felt safe and secure, but their peace was short-lived.
One night, they heard a strange noise coming from outside. It sounded like someone was trying to break through the barricades. Violet and the others quickly grabbed their weapons and went to investigate.
They were shocked to find that it wasn't zombies trying to break in, but a group of humans. The group was led by a man named Marcus, who claimed that he and his people were looking for a place to stay and that they had been traveling for days.
At first, Violet and her group were hesitant to let them in. They had heard stories of other survivors turning on each other, and they couldn't take any chances. But Marcus was persuasive, and he promised that they would work together and help each other survive.
Reluctantly, Violet and her group agreed to let them in. But as the days passed, they began to regret their decision. Marcus and his people were not what they seemed. They were selfish and manipulative, only interested in their own survival.
They would hoard the supplies, leaving Violet and her group with little to eat. They would start fights with the others, making it clear that they were in charge. And worst of all, they would use the zombies as a weapon, throwing them at Violet and her group when they refused to do their bidding.
Violet knew that they had to get rid of them, but she didn't want to resort to violence. She tried to reason with Marcus, but he wouldn't listen. He had become power-hungry and was willing to do anything to stay in control.
Finally, Violet and her group had enough. They staged a mutiny, overpowering Marcus and his people and kicking them out of the warehouse. It was a difficult decision, but they knew that it was necessary for their survival.
As they watched Marcus and his people disappear into the distance, Violet and her group knew that they had a new threat to worry about. They had survived the zombies, but now they had to survive each other.
