Introduction
It is 1 year after the fall of man and 2 years after Z-day. Hordes of undead now roam the land, mindlessly slogging around filling the fallen cities and feasting on the flesh of the living. But you... you have survived the outbreak. Somehow, against all odds, you have reached safety and survived countless attacks. You have ventured across miles of dangerous land and come out on the other side. You have reached a fortress of safety.
But now supplies are low. It will soon be time to move out again and search for a place of sanctity. A place to temporarily call home. Will you survive the trials to come...

This supply run had gone well so far. Rhys was out with Kailek, one of his closest friends. Today they decided to check out a local grocery store, as dangerous as that was. They were careful though, and only one zombie lay dead in their wake with a machete chop to the skull.
Rhys scanned the isles of the ruined Publix keeping track of the movements of the undead as well as his friend. Occasionally he threw a piece of scrap toward the end of the store opposite of Kailek, drawing nearby walkers away from her, though she moved more quickly and quietly than anyone in their group.
Scouting parties in the group always consisted of exactly 2 members, the members assigning themselves either cat or mouse. The cat was a watch who's job it was to keep track of threats and distract them when necessary. The mouse's job was to gather the supplies as quickly and as quietly as possible. Rhys and Kailek traded the jobs on each outing, each trying to best the other for fun.
Kailek crept up an empty isle looking to Rhys and motioning towards the exit. She had gotten all they would get today, and night was fast approaching. The two left the store and moved to the side where they parked their car. It was a small black vehicle and neither knew what it was, both knowing little about make or model and caring even less. It was quiet, and that was all that mattered. They made their way to it and quickly got in.
"What'd you get?" Rhys asked looking at the backpack that Kailek was carrying.
"Not much. This place is about dry. Just a couple cans of beans. I did find a can of corn though. Here ya go." she said, tossing the can to him. "I won't tell anyone if you don't." she smirked.
"Thanks, Now lets get out of here. It's getting dark."
Kailek reached for the key and turned it, a grumble sounding from the engine that then went quiet. She tried a couple more times, then looked at the fuel guage.
"Damn. I think we're out." she said.
"How is that. We fueled up before we left?"
The two climbed out of the car and ducked under it. A slow dripping sound tapped from underneath.
"It was fine before we started." Rhys whispered. "What happened?"
"I don't know." Kailek replied, "but we don't have time to stay here. Lets grab what we can and head back on foot." Rhys agreed and grabbed his backpack. Machetes in hand the two crept into the woods beside the store and made their way toward the safe house.
