- Hello? My name is... well, that's not important. If you're watching this, it's probably because I'm dead. Well. That's obvious, you got it off my-... nevermind.
So, if you're watching right now, you're probably curious as to what has happened? Well, it's... common knowledge. But, that doesn't mean everyone knows. Look, I'm going to level with you. If you're watching this, you probably already know. The world has gone straight to s**t. Everyone is fighting for survival. And at least some background on why is in order.
Scientists were developing... something, I'm not sure on the details. And they tested their work on rats. Common sewer rats. They injected them a type of drug. But, they never got the chance to test whatever they were going to. A group of animal right activists came jumping in, and destroyed whatever research they were doing.
About a week after that, something started to change. A viral infection started somewhere in the midst of Nebraska. People started dropping dead, one by one to whatever contagion was set loose. People thought it was a fever. Others were paranoid and considered it an infection. As soon as the army found out how it was being transferred, via rats, they exterminated every last one of them.
And we thought we were safe for the time.
Wasn't long before the people we thought were dead started coming back. They... were still dead. But moving. We believed for even a few moments, that it was a joke. Some kind of sick joke that the scientists had created to hurt us.
We found out quickly how wrong we were.
One bite, and your hours are numbered. And that one bite turned other civilians quick. The death toll quickly propogated, taking the living dead's population along with it. Eventually, states like Georgia, New York, even Texas were gone.
Some people managed to survive somehow, in this crazy hellhole world. Stripped of everything but their survival instincts. Others weren't so lucky, being fed to those undead bastards one after another. Like a dinner that never ends. And the few who didn't want to survive, but didn't want to become one of them? Well... leave that up to your imagination. No two ways about it. It isn't pretty.
Don't let that discourage you though. You getting this message means that somehow, humanity has found a way to survive till this point. One week so far. If it can last a week in time, it can last another. And another soon after. Don't give your hope up just yet, you can pull through this. Humanity is strong.
Guess that makes me a coward. I got bitten myself. And I plan to be one of those quitters who took their own life. I may be the biggest hypocrite in the world. But, I at least know that somehow, somewhere, humanity can live on, even if it isn't me doing it.
All that's left is to pray now. Pray that I will be forgiven for the atrocity I am about to commit. Sherry. Belle. Forgive me. I hope I'll be with you soon. And you. Good luck out there. Stay tough. And fight on.
The message ends there...
It's been a month since the outbreak...
And you've made camp with fellow survivors. They're the only family you have left. Food is running low. Camping out at a local motel isn't doing as well as it could. And with the food running low...
Well... what are you going to do?
