I do not own any of the characters in this story. Ellis, Nick, Coach, and Rochelle and the zombies are owned by Valve.


"Man I am so tired of these damn zombies Coach" Nick grunted as he shot bursts of rounds from the fully loaded sub machine gun. "Well then, I guess you just have to kill them faster" Coach sighed walking up behind Nick to help with the large zombie crowd coming toward them. "Hey Ellis!" Nick yelled frantically looking for him. "I'm here, and you don't gotta yell all the time you know" Ellis said looking up at Nick. "Enough of that shit!" Nick barked "Help me with these god damn zombies, and get Rochelle"Nick commanded "Okay, Jesus" Ellis said walking toward Rochelle who was making a shelter and now attempting to start a fire. "Hey Rochelle" Ellis said looking down and Rochelle, who jumped in shock. "God Ellis! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" she yelled looking up at Ellis, who was standing over her. "Nick and Coach need are help fighting back another horde of zombies" Ellis stated holding his hand out so Rochelle could get up. Rochelle grabbed Ellis' hand and pulled her self up. "Okay, lets go"

"Hey Nick, Coach we are here!" Rochelle yelled to both of the men who were still unloading clips and clips on the zombies. "Okay good, Ellis grab a shotgun, and Rochelle grab the other machine gun" Nick ordered, barley illegible over the loud guns being fired constantly. Ellis and Rochelle did as they were told and the Finally got the last zombie, for now. "Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about" Coach yelled in excitement raising his gun up in the air waving it side to side. "Enough celebration, we need to finish are shelter" Rochelle said looking at Coach who then put his arm down. "You're right Rochelle" Coach said "Lets go" Nick said a little annoyed.

The group of four walked back and started picking debris and scrap metal to make a shelter. The shack was made inside a building but the roof collapsed and their was a big red metal door to the entrance of the main building. "Okay man, we should start making a fire" Coach said exchanging views from the others. "I got a lighter" Nick said taking the zippo from his pocket. "Okay then, we are gonna need to find some dead leaves or some dead shrubs, and some branches" Ellis said. Rochelle got up and then just a moment later came back with many sticks and shrubs. She put the sticks and such down and made a kindle then Nick started the fire. Just about two hours passed and the group had told many stories about friends and family. Ellis told about all the great fun he had with his buddy Keith. While the others talked about how long the infection was going to last, if it were to spread all over the world. "We should hit the sack" Ellis said. "Okay sounds great, and I saw some mistresses behind are shelter" Nick said looking at their medium sized shelter. Each person walked behind the shelter and saw four regular sized mattresses and a lot of blankets. They brought the mattresses and blankets into the shelter and set them up where they pleased. Then they settled down and soon drifted into sleep
