Foreword
I began writing this story in 2003. Today, we are already halfway through 2005. I guess the excitement from Outbreak File 2's release made me want to finish this story up, and when I started to read what I had written before, I got excited with what I could do with the story and the characters next.
I tried to include and incorporate characters from all the games, all the fan favorites. I twisted certain characters so that you can see their backgrounds and figure out what makes them tick in the games for the brief moments that you do get to see them and get to know them. Take Annette for example. Annette Birkin, sub-star of Resident Evil 2, is given brief screen time and is barely gotten to know by the audience. In Resident Evil: A City In Ruin, however, I take Annette as one of the main characters, only because she can have a very large and drastic impact on the plot. The same goes for the mayor's daughter, seen dead on Brian Iron's office table in Resident Evil 2. Also, Ada Wong is given a bit of back-story in this, as she is seen momentarily in a few spots doing what she does best: stealthy and seductive fighting.
As you can expect, after two years time, my writing style changed a little bit. So if it is the case that you notice a bit of a change after about Chapter 6 or 7, just know that it's only going to get better from there.
I hope you enjoy it… happy reading and I hope you make it out alive.
