Chapter 1

(Three Months Later...)

It's been three months since the group moved to the motor inn. In the forest, there's a walkers eating something. Lee approaches the walker and hits him in the head with the axe. Suddenly, Mark shows up.

Mark: Dammit. What'd they get this time?

Lee: Looks like a rabbit.

We see the corpse of a rabbit.

Mark: Well, that's another meal lost.

Lee and Mark walk in the forest.

Mark: I can't believe we went through all that commissary food in 3 months! It seemed like so much at the time.

Lee: Maybe you shouldn't have opened the door.

Mark: Yeah, except then I'd probably BE food by now. Trust me, I have no regrets!

Lee: A rabbit's hardly a meal, Mark, but... I'd take it. We're all hungry.

Mark: No kidding. Last night, I heard Douglas(rc9gn) talking while he's asleep. He's having a nightmare about the walkers are trying to grabbed and bitten him. This is more than a several times he had a same nightmare.

Lee: Well, Douglas(rc9gn) is just a bit traumatized, he needs a space after the attacked at the drugstore.

Mark: Yeah. When I accidentally grabbed for Carley's rations the other night, I thought she was gonna take off my hand.

Lee: We're all on edge. Just cut her some slack.

Mark: Yeah. Also, both Doug(twdg) and Howard are driving me insane! With Doug(twdg) talking about pies and Howard talking about fried chicken and nacho cheese. To be honest, I would do anything to eat a nacho cheese right now.

Lee: Yeah, I know.

Mark:Yeah, I wish I knew for sure how much food we have left.

Lee: Not enough. According to Lilly we've just about hit the last of our food reserves. Some people might have to go without tonight.

Mark: You mean "Lilly's Lottery" again. Kenny, Howard and Debbie are gonna be pissed.

Lee: She thinks everyone should have an equal chance of missing a meal.

Mark: You think Kenny and Howard are having any more luck than we are out here?

Lee: I sure hope so.

Mark: Yeah, between the lack of food and Kenny & Lilly fighting all the time, things are getting pretty tense back at the Motor Inn. You know Kenny's been talking about taking off if he can get that RV running. And Debbie wanna leave this motor Inn too.

Lee: He's got a wife and son to look out for. Debbie's just annoyed because of how Lilly and Larry are ordering her around, she's gonna bring her friends with her too.

Mark: And they're safest in a big group. Going out on their own will get them ALL killed. Can't blame him, though - did you see how Larry was going off on him, Debbie, Theresa, Bucky and Douglas(rc9gn)? What's the old guy's deal anyway? Seems like he's got a problem with you in particular.

Lee and Mark spot a crow.

Lee: Larry's just looking out for his daughter.

Mark: Hey, I know Lilly. She can take care of herself. He needs to take that energy and put it towards finding us some more food. And I know Lilly thinks he's getting weaker, but the guy's all muscle! He's a walking piledriver! I know me and Douglas(rc9gn) wouldn't want to be stuck in a room with him! And didn't he punch you in the face one time?

Lee: Knocked me flat.

The crow sits on a branch. Lee and Mark hide behind a huge stone and Mark tries to shoot it.

Lee: Don't. Gunshot'll bring walkers. One bird's not worth it.

Mark: I know... I'm just... really frickin' hungry.

The crow goes away. Suddenly, a scream is heard.

Mark: SHIT! Is that Kenny or Howard?!

Lee: I don't know. Come on!

Lee and Mark run in the forest. They find three people. Two are some high school boys and one is a adult who's leg is trapped in a bear trap.

Mark: Jesus Christ...

Teen boy 1: Oh shit! No. No... Please don't kill us! We just want to help our teacher! We'll leave, I swear!

Kenny and Howard show up.

Kenny: Lee! You guys ok?

Howard: What the juice just happened?!

Man: Get it off! Get it off! Goddamnit, get it off me!

Teen boy 2: Travis, maybe they can help!

Travis: These might be the same guys that raided our camp and... We barely got away from that!

Mark: What guys?

Kenny: And what the fuck there's a bear trap out here?!

Howard: Who raided your camp?!

Teen boy 2: I-i don't know! Guys with guns!

Travis: Please! We won't bother you, I swear!

Lee: It's ok. We're not gonna hurt you.

Travis: Don't listen to them, Ben! Please, just let us go! We're not a threat to you!

Kenny: Kid, chill out! We'll try to help you, but you've got to shut the fuck up!

Howard: Can we just leave this crazy shoobies, Lee!

Mark: No, Howard! We won't! Lee, this is fucked up. We've gotta help 'em.

Teen boy 2: PLEASE!

Travis: Ben, shut up! My dad was special forces, I know what I'm doing!

Ben: Just see if you can get him out! After that you can leave us or whatever, I don't care! Please!

Lee: We've gotta get him out of there.

Man: Oh God, thank you!

Kenny: Fine, but you've gotta hurry!

Mark checks the trap.

Mark: Lee, this trap's been altered. There's is no release latch.

Howard: What?! How does impossible that bear trap had no release latch?! Every Bear trap always had a release latch!

Travis turns around and he looks scared.

Travis: Oh no...

The walkers appear.

Howard: AHHHH! They coming!

Kenny: Shit! Walkers! It's now or never, Lee!

Man: Please... get me out of this!

Lee: Mark, get the boys back! Kenny, keep those walkers off of me! Howard, I need your help!

Howard: Man, this stinks!

Kenny and Mark shoot at the walkers while Lee and Howard are trying to free the man.

Howard: ARGGG... STUPID WONKIN' BEAR TRAP!

Lee: There is one option but you won't like it at all.

Howard: What is it?

Lee looks at the man sadly.

Lee: I will have to cut off his leg.

Howard: WHAT?!

Man: No! No! Try the trap again!

Lee: I'm sorry..

Howard: Ugh... I don't wanna see it!

Howard covers his eyes. Lee aims his axe and hits the man's leg with the axe.

Man: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Lee hits him again.

Man: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Lee hits him again.

Man: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Lee hits him one more time and cuts off his leg. The man passes out. The others see this.

Travis: Oh God!

Travis pukes when he sees his teacher.

Mark: Is he?

Lee: He passed out.

Howard: Ahhh... That's Shnasty!

Kenny: If he's alive, grab him and let's go!

Mark grabs the man and he, Howard, Kenny, Lee and Ben are trying to run away while Travis is still puking.

Lee: Behind you!

Ben: Travis!

Travis turns around and a walker approaches him. He is scared and falls down. The walkers eat him.

Ben: NOOOO!

The screen fades to black.
