Gridlock

Intro to Gridlock

If you're reading this, you've survived. My name is Bryce. I live in a town called Gridlock.

Two weeks ago, a scientist miscalculated an experiment. He was trying to bring his wife back from the dead. The man succeeded. But like I said, a miscalculation.

His wife opened her eyes and looked around, but she wasn't alive. Her skin was rotten and her eyes were blue. The scientist didn't notice and went to embrace the love of his life.

She bit him. The infection went into his body and within 5 seconds, he became the second zombie.

Immediately, there was a notification from the government to evacuate the city. Almost everyone got out before they closed the gates.

I'm still here. My family abandoned me at a young age and left me at an orphanage. I'm now 14 years old. The other orphans escaped while I stayed. There was no reason for me to leave. I had no-one. Everyone at the orphanage hated me, do they didn't care if I stayed.

By the time the gates were closed, over thousands of people were infected. I suspect that very few people are still alive. I need to find them. ASAP.

Yesterday, I found a crate packed with a dessert eagle, 1000 rounds of ammo, and a machete. God know what I'll be up against, but I need to get out of here. I know there are people somewhere. I need their help and they need mine.

The zombies are mutating. A new one just emerged. It's about 10 ft tall with a harder than bone shell. It has green eyes and black flesh. They're not very fast but they are powerful and hard to kill. Trust me. I know. It took me about 20 min to kill it. Note to self: shoot those things in the crotch. Don't ask me why but that's the only part that's not armored. And once you shoot it, the zombie blows up.

I have to go now. The longer I wait, the more people are bound to be infected.
