FlashBack to the Past

Chapter I

September 2, 1998

The final school bell rang for the day. As the students all filed out into the parking lot of Raccoon City High School, there was wild chatter about the changing city they inhabited. People around town were still on the subject of those cannibal murders that have screwed up the town since before the summer break. School had just recently started back up and the fall sports were in their beginning stages, ready to be in full swing in less than a month. By October 1, their homecoming week, there would have been three games played, and in the minds of the student body of Raccoon City High, hopefully have an undefeated winning streak by then. The marching band would meet after school to practice drills, perfecting their performance. The football team would train and work in the weight room every day after school to help them get ready for the first game next week. The cheerleaders and dance team would meet together and work on their dancing techniques and giggle and gossip and do what normal teenage girls do.

If you would see Raccoon City High during their school hours, you would see that their most populated building on campus was the science building. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, as Raccoon City was built on the foundation of the pharmaceutical company Umbrella. It funded a bunch of the jobs in town, and many students thought it would be in their best interests to try and grab one of those jobs soon after graduating college. It seemed like there was a never ending supply of jobs…

The assorted teachers watched as all of the students filed out of the science building. Since it was a Friday, there wouldn't be a problem coming to work tomorrow. Some of the teachers were thinking of throwing a bachelor party for one of the science teachers who was getting married to one of the English teachers who also worked at the school. They piped down rather quickly as a lone teacher rushed out of one of the biology experiment rooms, paper and books stuffed under his arm. He looked very pale, as if he was exhausted from a tireless strain he had on his shoulders. The other teachers noticed this as early as before school let out for the summer last year. He never used to act like this…Even during the teacher seminars over the summer, the man missed half of them, and times he showed up, he wouldn't stay long. There was a definite change in the way their friend's behavior.

One of the teachers, attempting to be friendly, waved to him as he rushed by. "Hey there, Will!" he said. "Will" never looked up and rushed towards the parking lot making a b-line for his car. "Wow….he really needs to have some relax time. Maybe we can get him to come with us next week to the bachelor party?" said one teacher. Another piped in. "Nah, we'd better not. We'd probably get him in trouble with his wife Annette. He'd used to always tell me that when she is mad, you don't want to be near her, much less sleep in the same bed with her." The teachers chuckled to themselves, and slowly headed out to the parking lot where they said their goodbyes and returned to their homes where their wives, girlfriends, or children were waiting for them with open arms. Little did they know that that would be the last time that they would see their coworker again…
