Forgetting In The Zone

My story is set in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game seties after the events of all three games. For those who don't know S.A.L.K.E.R. is a game series set in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Something or someone caused a secondary reasction in 2006 creating 'The Zone' and filling it with radiation, anomalies (deadly pockets of energy) and artifacts (strange lumps of radioactive materials worth a lot of money). Many people fled to the Zone in search of wealth, these people would later become known as 'stalkers'.

This is the tale of a young man who goes by the name 'Maksim Volkov'. He is no stalker, just somebody who has gone to the Zone to forget and that's all that matters to him. An old trader in the Cordon named Sidrovitch has gotten in contact with Maksim and arranged him passage into the Zone as well as supplies, armour and most importantly weapons (all for the right price, of course).

Maksim intends to wonder into the Zone, he claims he wants to reach it's centre. However, Wolf, the leader of the rookie camp in the Cordon can see he has no intention of ever coming back. Maksim is new to the Zone, he won't last long, Wolf knows this so decides to accomany him on his adventure.

It will not be long until the pair meet with two other stalkers named 'Matvey Docent' and 'Igoryok Knuckles.' And so our group is born! The question is will the group survive? And if so, what awaits them on the irradiated path ahead?
