The roads looked deserted as the truck pulls into the small town of Macon. Some windows looked smashed, electrical posts were knocked down and the buildings looked abandoned and the cars were left on the road. The truck stops as it runs out of gas and the five people climb out of the truck. The driver, Kenny, climbs out first and looks around as his wife, Katjaa, and his son, Duck, get out as well.

Then two more people, who he just friended, climbed out. An African American man named Lee and a little curly dark haired boy that he has taken under his wing, Clement. Lee looks around the town shocked at how abandoned his hometown looked in just a short time. Course he didn't know how long he was knocked out when that police officer hit somebody, or something, on the road when he was taking him to jail, which caused the crash.

It still amazes him that it was just yesterday when he shot the cop in the head, after he or it came back alive and tried to eat him, then he ran to a house where he met this little boy all alone. Clement was his name and he was left at home with the babysitter as his parents were in Savannah on alittle vacation.

But suddenly the dead started rising and Clement hid in his treehouse when the babysitter got bit and died.
He stayed hidden for awhile until Lee came upon him and killed his undead babysitter. Lee told the young boy that he would take care of him until they found his parents. Clement was alittle reluctant at this but he knew that he couldn't stay at his house forever, so he and Lee started to make their way out of the neighborhood.

They left when it was still daylight and came up on two people, Chet and Shawn, who took then to Shawn's family farm. There they met Hershel Green, Shawn's father, who helped with Lee's leg injury and let the two sleep in the farm for the night.

Then this morning, Lee and Clement met Kenny and his wife and son. They helped around the farm that is until a group of walkers came upon the fence and attacked Shawn and Duck. Lee tried to help Shawn while Kenny grabs his son and runs away.

The fence broke and the walkers started biting Shawn until Hershel comes out with his gun and shoots the monsters. Shawn told his father that Lee tried to save him before he let out his last breath and dies. Hershel yells at them to get out and never come back and that's when Kenny offers the ride to Macon to Lee and Clement.

"Well, this is as far as we're going." Kenny said to the others. "Then it's far enough." Lee replied as the five walk along the street and come upon a building with the large red neon sign saying Drug Store. Lee looks up at the building in sadness. This store was his parents and he wonders if they and his brother are inside.

"Look!" Duck exclaims as he points off to the right at a figure that was kneeling down. "Hey there! You friendly? Truck's run out of gas." Kenny shouts as he waves his arms in the air, hoping to get the figure's attention.

The figure turns around to reveal itself to be a Walker as it was eating a person. "FUCK!" Kenny exclaimed in fear and the five people started walking backwards as more walkers come out and slowly walks towards the five people. "We're trapped!!" Katjaa shouts just as she hears a scream.

The parents turn around to see a Walker had grabbed Duck as he falls backwards. But before the monster could eat him, it was shot in the head. Duck, covered in Walker blood, scrambles away from the Walker as the others look over and see a woman, with shoulder length brown hair, holding a gun as she fires at the oncoming walkers.

"RUN!!" An Asian man shouts and the five people run towards him as he leads them inside of the drug store. The woman backs up as she fires before she runs as fast as she could towards the building. The man shuts the gate behind the group and locks it with a lock and runs behind the others.
