We see a dark hooded figure rummaging through a pile of old junk and debris late in the night. The figure stands up with a chunk of metal in one hand and a piece of wood in the other. The figure takes off her hood to reveal she is a young girl, around the age of 15.
She takes the wood block and puts it on a tree stump, then she smashes the metal into the wood, and lastly she proceeds to screw them together makimg a makshift machete.
She then turns around and heads back into the broken down and abandoned house behind her machete in hand and very much on gaurd.
As she gets closer to the doorway she can hear dome noises that sound like a racoon going throught the trash. She goes inside the house and the noises are louder and are coming from the pantry in the kitchen.
She approaches the counter machete at the ready, her breathing heavy and fast, then bam out of the pantry pops out a young boy at the age of 17.
"GOD DAMMIT DALE" the girl says stricken with fear "you nearly game me a heart attack" she says with her hand over her heart and her breathing still heavy.
"Relax Sarah, its only me" says Dale with a giant grin on his face.
"Anyway did you find any food?" askes Sarah
"Sadly...no" said Dale with a sad look in his eyes, "but I did find more bandages!" he exclames although it is quiet
"Well better than nothing" she said
Judt then a scratching noise is heard coming from the bathroom. like someone trying to claw open the door.
They slowly go twards the door Sarah with her makeshift machete and Dale with a desert eagle. As they approach the door the scraching is louder and they can hear a soft moan coming from inside.
"Another one you think?" Askes Dale in a whisper
"Duh" Sarah answeres
Dale opens the door and a bloody and mutilated body flops out onto the floor at their feet. Its head half cut open exposing part of its rotting brain, which is full of maggots. The zombie then looks up at the two and its eye falls out of socket just barely being held up by the tissue and it screeches loudly. Half its body is missing and its close to death.
Sarah takes the machete and chops its head off and it rolls off into the bedroom nearby. The body is now still.
"We should probably go" said Dale "that schreech was pretty loud there will be more here any minute."
"I think your right" says Sarah
They turn to leave, but as soon as they reach the door more zombies are at the back door where Sarah was at before.
"Run?" askes Dale in a panic
"Run!" answeres Sarah quickly
They run out into the street broken buildings everywhere. The road littered with corpses and the sky a light orange-red color thanks to the bombs that fell 13 years prior.
