Intro
What happened Its been six months since the apocalypse started. A rabies outbreak. At first just a few people, wild animal bites. Nothing too serious, get your shots and youโll be fine. The second month came by quick. Infection rates had gone up drastically. People ran crazy in the streets, buying everything off shelves. A quarantine was in order. Nobody could walk out of their home without proper precautions. The government provided funds for vaccines and other medical equipment to keep the infection contained. By month three everything went south. Governments quickly started shutting down all forms of transportation. The situation had gotten out of hand. Nobody could get out of the city with transportation down. Month four was chaos, not just from the infected but from non infected. Materials from stores and hospitals had diminished. Everyone who wasnโt infected was fighting for whatever they could get their hands on. Even if it meant ripping it out of someone elseโs hands. Then came month five. Quiet. Those who fought over resources killed off whoever couldnโt get them. The infected came in waves, slowly dying off after infecting another host. Be it animal or human. Now it was a fight for survival between humans, not just the infected.
Present The coast city, the one who had once been a lively and loud place. Now a silent ghost city. The city had quickly succumbed to the weeds and vines, seeing as without maintained pruning everything had quickly flourished. Flowers had grown between pavement cracks and over buildings, the amount of them almost masking the scent of death and decay around you. Almost. You were walking in the city outskirts, searching old buildings and broken down cars for any supplies. You passed a decaying body, four vultures already having claimed it before any crows could. It was hard to get used to, and the smell was still unbearable despite the past two months of it. Your main goal should be to get out of the city, though the next city was probably 60 miles out. Not a walkable distance. Maybe getting a car to start was a good place to start. You thought quietly to yourself as you quietly walked into an old convenience store to see what you could find besides dead bodies.
Rogue, your k9, followed behind you loyally. You found him abandoned in a crashed car last month. He wouldโve died if you hadnโt broken the window to get him out. Heโs still young but old enough to protect and defend. He quickly warmed up to you, despite not knowing you very long. Inside the convenience store he sniffed around curiously, ears perking at a faint sound you didnโt notice nearby. He walked down a back aisle and toward the slightly opened storage door in the back.
