Zombie Story: Threads of a Tire

=sits their watching them build the house=

=I wait for more guards=

I looked at the map in front of me. It was a world map. I was in my briefing room. A lot of people call us crazy....but no. I had my men going for water and supplies now....The artificial farms were still working good. We had a good spot to....Out in the middle of the desert. Hopefully my men will come back safe.

(Rich and Ellie)

=We finish for the most part=

(Rich)

=I wipe the sweat from my brow=

I think we should call it a day

(Ellie)

=I giggle=

But I said we could finish it in two!

(Rich)

=I laugh=

Lee, always the outgoin one.

I chuckle.

"That she is. I got some food back at my house if you want some. Canned food and some slightly cold desert stuffs"

=I don't see anyone on the land bridge=

=I decide to take my SL8 and walk across=

(Rich and Ellie)

Rich(feeling my stomach)-Ah man. Anything to stop this ache. =I laugh=

Ellie(Punching Rich in the arm)-You would probably eat everythin he has!

Rich(grins)-Didnt call me the human garbage disposal fer nothin

Ellie(shaking her head)-Yeah, cept for whenever you'd give Bo the scraps of things you dont like.

=We laugh=

=It took me nearly an hour, but I got around the city. I don't think I had ever been that stressed before=

"It's alright, if he eats too much, I'll just send him out with some money and have him go get me some more food. Fair is fair after all."

I smile.

(Rich)

=I start to head off in a direction=

Well le's go then

(Ellie)

=I grab his shirt and point in the right direction=

Over there, Rich

=I giggle=

(Rich)

Cant expect me to member much, Lee.

=I laugh=

The door to the briefing room opened. The leader of the soldiers I sent walked in. "How was it?"

"Good....besides the zombies."

"Find anything useful?"

"Besides food and water....No not really."

"Alright alright."

"I heard there was a safe zone in Ireland....is that true sir?"

"Ya...I had contact with them for a little bit."

"Do you think we should go up there?"

"Only if they pay well."

"Of course sir."

"Alright, Thank you for your report. I'm going to look over this map a little more."

"Alright sir."

He walks out. And I keep looking over the map.

=I sneak over the dead bodies, trying to be a low crawl in the setting sun=

=Within a shack on the outskirts of a destroyed New York City=

Barely any signal.

=He coughs=

Hopefully...

=The man logs into an old site=

[21:29:14] @Dakotah : The East Coast is nothing now. Everyone that I have seen is turned. The government has restricted access to any European nations from this side. Will work to get my way to the West. Be careful out there. Aim for the head, only the head. Otherwise, you will be wasting time and ammunition. That can prove to be fatal. Im out. See you...Whenever. Hopefully.

=checks his ad=


guess not many want a couple ak47's

=Once I got around the city, I found myself back on my bike, and following the road, to the west=

=I sneak across the landbridge and take cover in the darkness=

=The man exits the shack after pouring alcohol everywhere. Turning on the stoves gas=
=He exits the house and looks outs. Picking up the M24 in its sling=
=He grabs some ammunition from the cases outside and loads it into the Jeep=
=Taking what food and water he had=
=He hops into the drivers door. Striking a match and throwing it into the doorway=
=He drives off quickly, before the initial explosion=

=Entered Kinsale, Thunder boomed overhead=

It is Still raining over Ireland

=stares at the stormy sky=

"C'mon, let's go."

We head back to the house. I grab some cans of food for everyone as well as forks. Once we are done the two head off to the bedroom, once again arguing about who gets the bed. I chuckle and head out to the workshop, to go pick up my new rifles.

=I rode my bike for what felt like hours, until I came to an unlikely sight: the ocean. I saw it, the great expanse of blue=

Wow, now there's a sight I have not seen, in a very long time.

=took the R604, the one of the only roads out of lispatrick and old head. passed some households, zombies were shambling about, none were running at me, yet.=

I walk to the workshop, enjoying the rain. I go up to the counter.

"Hey, Raul. I'm here to pick up mah stuff."

He walks up carrying my new rifles.

'Here ya be. Free of charge thanks to the favors I owe ya. We are now even.'

"Hey! What about that time I saved your butt from those raiders?"

'Oh, yeah. Okay, I still owe you one, but not for any fixer-uppers, mkay? Tis bad for business.'

"Sounds fair."

I pick up my new rifles and the P90. I sling them over my shoulder.

"Thanks again, Raul."

'Nah prahblem."

I nod and head back to the house. I put the rifles in the trunk, noticing that it's starting to get full. I close and lock it and fall asleep on the couch.

=looks for a shop=

=pulls into the driveway of a house, parks the cart so it's ready to drive off, takes out the machetes and prepares to slay some zombies.=

=I rode my bike along the coast for god know's how long. It was getting dark though, so I had to sleep. I decide to set camp on the beach, away from the road. I found a nice spot: quiet and secluded. I set camp. I rested, but didn't quite go to sleep. I kept my eyes open=

I dreamt of finding a cure, of getting rid of the zombies once and for all. That I was flying, that I was going towards a bright light that could fix everything. Then my wings started to burn...

(Dreaming, again.)

(Hissing voice.) Truth... He should know...

(Loud Hissing Voice) NO!... It could... Destroy us... No... He will not know...

=I wake up, in the Duck boat. I stand up, and walk over to the broken door. I open it, and exit the Duckboat, Shotgun in hand.=

My wings burnt and I fell to the ground. Along the way I saw the world in chaos as the dead walked among us. I hit the ground and rolled off the couch again.

"Fu...fuck..."

I lied there for a minute or two before getting up and going to the kitchen for a glass of milk.

=I begin to head towards the slums, in attempt to look for some ammo.=

I get my glass of milk and drink some of it. As soon as I started thinking about my dream, it started to fade. I relaxed a bit more and thought about my day.

=My vision goes white, with a blue outline of figures appearing.=

(Hissing Voice) Right this way...

=I am lead to a door, to an office (It is actually Garth's home, but I see it as an office.=

(Hissing Voice) Go on... Knock...

=I knock on the door.=

I hear someone knock on my door. I finish my glass and wipe off any excess milk. I go over to the door and open it.

"Hello?"

=My vision goes back to normal, I see Garth inside of a house.=

What the fuck... How did I get here?!

"You tell me. You are the one knocking on my door."

There were voices... And figures... They told me to knock...

=I scratch my helmet.=

"Well then, you must've taken in a few too many drugs. I hear there are people burning all kinda of crap to try and forget this nightmare. Come on in. I'll get you something to eat."

Drugs...?

=My vision goes white.=

(Hissing Voice) TRUTH!

=My visong goes back to normal. I enter the house.=

"Yeah, drugs. You know, stuff you inhale or inject to make you see or hear things that aren't there. Stupid shit."

I walk into the kitchen and grab a can of fruit. I open the can and grab a fork. I walk back and hand him the food.

"Eat."

=I slide the front part of my helmet up, and begin to eat.=

So... What's your story?

I sit down, looking at him.

"Came from Scottsdale, Arizona. Zombies hit I ran. My parents didn't need me, they were too busy trying to save what all they could. I only stayed long enough to gather my weapons and some food and some money. I left home and traveled here, where I heard they were making a Safe Zone. And, hey, I like it cold and rainy, so I figured, why not? It took me a year and a half to get here, but it was worth it."

=My vision goes white again. The figure appearing. I see a man sit down.=

(Hissing Voice) Now...

(Hissing Voice) TRUTH!

=My vision goes back to normal.=

So... Do you know if your parents are alive or not?

"They probably are. Last I heard they were on the West Coast still and had managed to join up with everyone else. They said they have this massive wall, going along the entire mountain range and a million or so people. I don't know if it's still there, but that's what I like to think."

That's good... I guess.

=I scratch my helmet.=

So, is there anywhere nearby that sells ammo?

I nod.

"Yeah. Want me to take you there?"

=I slide the front down on my helmet.=

Yeah, if you don't mind.
