My name is Ellen, El for short And I'm 19. I kept track on how long gone the world went to shit for until day 75, then i lost track, I stay away from groups because i have bad experiences with them, ether close friends and family die or they stab you in the back, my very first camp was my dad, brother and me, mom was killed by a runner, it hollowed her out completely, my brother stole half of our supplies and ditched us, he also shot dad, my brothers name is Shady. Ive been on my own for a while now, it has definitely been about two years into the apocalypse and I've been alone for one of them. There are a few types of those "things" "normies", "runner", "hunter", "juggernaut" "infected". They all infect you, but they scratch, not bite. Biting affects you more but scratching still does some long term damage also. The infected ones don't have arms and look like they have no blood in them (or on them) and they are very skinny, you can see their ribs but they are fast, and there bites do extra damage. The hunters are the second rarest to find, they have wings, they look like wings that belong on a fly or a bee, there hard to hit with a melee so you need to shoot them down and they are the fastest type of the dead. The normies are the most common type, they scratch and bite, they bite whenever they get the chance, if you get bit by anything you start to get a fever, get that fever down and you will be fine, if that fever gets higher, you will turn into the type that bit you. Runners are the same as the slower but they run and the juggernaut is the biggest, strongest, deadliest type there is, they can tear apart a car in two, with there bare hands! And there fat protects the brain from any bullets.
This was an introduction to the story, teaching you things you need to know. Consider the next "chapter" as the first one
Thanks!
