Original Main Characters: Charlie, Almon, Austin, Noah, Cece, Cassandra, Paisley, Ashley, Benton.

Noah sped down the long road, Almon and Cece riding Along. The truck took a sharp turn into Almon's driveway, where Austin stood waiting, his eyes wide with disbelief "Did you see that?" Austin asked, barely containing his breath. "Brandon just ate someone on live TV! I've never seen anything like it!"
Almon nodded in shock, his expression darkening. "I saw. It was insane."
As they entered the house, Charlie greeted them with a solemn expression, his eyes red from lack of sleep. 'We need to talk,' he said, his voice low and gravelly. The group gathered in the smoke-filled room, where Cassandra sat beside Charlie, her eyes puffy from crying. The air was thick with tension.
"Things are bad out there," Charlie said, his voice cracking. "Raiders have taken everything. Food, medicine, supplies... they've left nothing behind. Ashley's keeping Benton and Matthew safe for now, but we need to figure out our next move."
Charlie's phone rang, shrill in the silence. He answered, his eyes locking onto Ashley's name on the screen. "Hey," he said, his voice softening. "What's the news?"
Ashley's voice was laced with worry. "I found a possible safe haven in Virginia," she said. "But I have my doubts. We need hope for the kids, Charlie. We have to try." Charlie's eyes met Cassandra's, and he nodded. "I'll let everyone know," he said, his voice firm.
As Charlie relayed the message to the group, Austin's eyes lit up with determination. "We need to get moving," he said. "We can't stay here." Noah nodded in agreement. "I'll grab my axe," he said, a fierce glint in his eye.
Charlie, Austin, and Noah prepared to leave for Walmart, seeking supplies to aid their journey. As they arrived, the parking lot was deserted, littered with shattered glass and twisted metal. Austin grabbed bandages and his axe, smashing open the freezer for drinks. Charlie loaded up on oatmeal cookies, his eyes gleaming with nostalgia.
But their trip was cut short by the appearance of walkers, their groans echoing through the aisles. Charlie fought them off, his fists flying, but was bitten on the arm. Austin and Noah rushed to his side, horror etched on their faces
"Those are what you call a walker. Their bite kills you and turns you into one of them, Thats all i know," Noah said. "Is there a way to at least stop the infection from spreading" Charlie said hurting in pain, "Well, Im not a scientist but if you cut his arm off maybe the infection would just stay in his arm, and cant spread somewhere its not attatched too right" Austin said. He then pulls out his axe that is in his bag and handed it to Noah. Charlie sat there and held his arm out. Noah lifted the axe up and smashed it through Charlies Arm, Charlies arm didn't budge, and Noah then, 7 more times lifted and smashed the axe through Charlies arm. Charlie screamed in pain as his arm detatched from his body. Charlie then fell backward and lay there, He was not breathing at all, and his heart dropped down to 20 beats per minute, then none. "THAT DIDN'T WORK," Noah screamed. Noah and Austin panicked, Noah pulled his phone out of his pocket, "We have to try and get service to contact Cassandra," Noah said. Noah and Austin tried to drag charlie, They didn't succeed as Charlie didn't budge. They ran outside quickly to try and find reception. Noah noticed that there was wifi still connecting through the walmart wifi, so then he proceded back in. He called Cassandra, "Hey, we are stuck in the Walmart and Charlie got bit and we tried to save him by cutting off his arm because that was our only option and now i think hes dead so we have no way out of here" Austin said through the phone, "Im on my way stay there im bringing my Car" Cassandra said. Walker noises sounded everywhere as walkers started walking out of the Aisles. "Son of a b****," Austin said.
