It's been three weeks since this all started. Well, since it actually got bad. I never thought I'd end up in this mess. I never thought this could happen. Heh, where's God now? They aren't zombies. Zombies are suppose to be slow. These things move fast. And they won't bite first. They'll scratch. They'll punch. I've had my hair pulled. I've had my Dad's jacket torn. I've been slapped, pushed, scratched, fuck. You name it. We've only found two survivors. They're dead now. One ran ahead. The other was too afraid to shoot a gun. It's just us four. It's funny how it's usually four people in an apocalypse.
There's Sam. He won't tell us his real age. But he seems to be in his 40's. He only has a bit of gray in his short but not short enough to be considered stubble and not long enough to be considered hillbilly beard. He's a natural leader. He's saved all of our lives these past three weeks. Before he was sporting a track jacket. Now he's been withdrawn to a gray tank.
Then there's Leo. A buff 24 year old. He can be such a prick. He has snarky remarks on everything. He would be what you would call a bad boy. Before the apocalypse he was starting bar fights and selling drugs. He doesn't seem like a junkie. He certainly doesn't look like one. He went on a huge killing spree after his Metallica hoodie was torn to shreds. Leaving him to a black t-shirt. These "zombies" are gonna rip our clothes apart. He has a scar that stretches from his cheek into his stubble after a "zombie" scratched him. Although he was a bad guy. He's had our backs. He's taken risks for us. And shows no signs of leaving us besides his stupid jokes.
Next is Eric. 19 years old. Comes right out of Nevada. I wouldn't call him scrawny. But he's nowhere near Leo and Sam. If Leo is being pissy then it's Eric who's keeping the group alive. He's full of joy. Always trying to make everything positive. Even when it looks like we might all die. He pisses Leo off. Like, a lot. Leo hates everything about him. Everything from his slightly wavy hair almost covering his right eye down to his converse with "The Shining" printed on the side. But it was Leo who taught him how to shoot properly. Well... Almost properly. If anything happened to that kid it would send our team into a depressive state. He's kept our hopes up.
Finally, there's me. Lilly. I use to wear my dad's biker jacket. Now that's gone. Forever. Anyway. I guess I'm good with a gun. I've learned what I know from horror movies. Although Eric is definitely a bigger fan than I am. I wanna find a safe place. For all of us. These guys are my family. I've only spent three weeks with them and I'm already being treated like a daughter to Sam, a little sister to Leo, and a older sister to Eric. I'm only 21. And I have to survive this apocalypse. With my new family.
(So I know I should be focusing on one story at a time but I've been playing a lot of zombies games...well a lot of Left 4 Dead. And I've been watching a lot of zombie movies and I was like holy FUCK I should create my own universe and here it is I really want to do this! Leave some feedback and yes the characters are a little inspired by Left 4 Dead's original survivors but I'll be changing it up!)
10:06 PM update
Left 4 Dead has inspired this story HEAVILY. I fell in love with the characters from the first game. This story will have a type of special infected. But they'll be completely different from Left 4 Dead. And the characters will also have completely original personalities. The only thing that's the same right now is that there's four survivors, one girl, and the zombies aren't zombies. The characters will be built from the ground up. I just love what Left 4 Dead did with the original cast. So this is what I'm doing with it. I don't intend on stealing any ideas!
