When the virus broke out, everyone who acted quickly went to hole up in the M&T Bank Stadium. Baltimore was hit hard with the virus, and the surviving humans were unorganized and their numbers were thinning down. Those who were in the stadium were well equipped. Food from looted grocery stores kept the people alive. Guns from the firing ranges and police stations kept survivors safe when they needed to leave the safe areas. Survivors only traveled in groups. When Dominic's crew left the safety of the stadium to look for food, water and other valuables, they packed a serious load-out. There were seven people. Two carried pump action Remington 870s, two more carried AK-47s, 2 carried M4A1 carbines, and Dominic carried a M60 light machine gun. The group also carried 11 pistols, mainly Glock 17s and H&K USPs with a few clips with hollow point bullets for emergencies. They left the stadium and started walking up Baltimore-Washington Pkwy. There was a Staples across the road, and they decided to head there to look for more survivors.
When the approached the door they realized it was all boarded off except for an opening on the other side of the building. They entered and called out to see if any survivors were staying there. They heard no responses, but they immediately smelled corpses. As they proceeded to check isles, the smell became more intense. Down the school supplies isle they saw the corpse. One of the guys in the group puked, and everyone evacuated the isle. As they looked down the next isle they saw two men standing motionlessly. "Yo, what you doin' man? You dead?" Yelled Darrell. "Man I think they're zombies, man. Go check Dom." Said Ray Lewis. "I didn't know you were scared of zombies, Ray. I thought you were the big tough linebacker man." Said Dominic. Ray Lewis replied, "that don't matter at a time like this! Ok... Alright, I got it." Ray slowly walked towards the motionless people. As he was around two yards away, the men turned around revealing their rotten zombified faces. "Holy Shit!" Screamed Ray Lewis as he instinctively ran towards the zombies and tackled them both in one hit. He then got up and stomped the zombies heads, killing them instantly. "Damn Ray, wish we had a slow-mo replay for that." Said Darrell. Ray Lewis walked back to the awe inspired group. "Grab what you can and lets get out of here." He said. So the group left the Staples and moved on to find food and survivors.
After a lengthy walk to Fells Point, the group encountered a herd of about 13 zombies. Dominic ran forward and began spraying the undead with machine gun fire. His first drum killed four of them. Then the whole group aimed for the heads and made quick work of all but one zombie. Ray Lewis ran towards the zombie and put his foot in its ugly face. "Thats it!" Said Ray, "Who wants to go back to M&T?" Everyone raised their hands. On the walk back, they came across a few stray zombies, but no big problems. As they got closer to safety, they saw ravens circling above the stadium. As they approached the gate they saw a few people running frantically out of the stadium. "What's goin' on here?" Said Darrell. One fleeing man yelled, "The ravens are infected, they are getting everyone! Run!" Dominic dropped his gun, "let's go!" "No, I'm going in, I gotta save the rest of my team." Said Ray Lewis. "We will wait 10 minutes for you, after that we're leaving." Replied Dom.
10 long minutes later, Dominic saw Ray Lewis walking slowly back towards him, followed by the entire Baltimore Ravens team. "Please tell me you're all still alive." Yelled Dom. "BRAAAAAIIIIIINNNNS!" Screamed Ray Lewis as he and the rest of the Ravens ripped Dominic's group apart, piece by piece.
Zombies, huh. Not what I expected at all at the beginning of the story. You've got a lot of strange stuff going on here, and that's what makes this story interesting. I'm not sure why they would go to Staples for supplies (do they really need folders and paper clips?), but perhaps there's a reason. I get the sense that you enjoy this genre, so this one might be a fun one to expand, especially because you can make it very graphic and visual. That would work well with PowerPoint.
ReplyDeleteRay lewis hahaha. Darrell. I like the story little confusing but you can fix that for the midyear
