"They can't be here. No, no!" He pushed the wrench through one of his belt loops and attached his blowtorch to his right hip. Another sound echoed from one of the sewers tunnels. The world was dead, the only thing that could be moving in there is another one of the zombies. "Well, I guess I have to fight at some point," he mutterd, as he stepped into the tunnel. Daniel was a sewer worker. Most days he spent wandering the catacombs beneath New York, fixing various grates and machinery, making sure New York's bowels kept moving. Effectively, he was fiber for the city. He hadn't noticed anything different about the day that changed his life. Things went normally, he dressed himself in a dull orange jumpsuit with thick green boots and gloves. He wore a helmet with a plastic face shield and small light on the top. His favorite tools, a crowbar, a wrench, and a blow torch accompanied him. After hours of wandering in the sewers, he found the problem. He fixed the grate and decided to go up for lunch. As the manhole closed behind him, his attention was drawn to a tv in a store window. "Chaos!" The anchorman's suit was stained with sweat, he trembled with nervousness. "A virus is sweeping new york. The infected seem to lose their minds and become increasingly violent. If bitten, the victim seems to be infected with them. I urge everyone to get away from New York. In an attempt to slow the outbreak, the Bronx has been quarantined. If you still remain in there, well, God save you." Daniel slumped to the ground, his entire body was shaking. No! "We don't know a lot, the government has put a quick cap on us. But rest assured, as long as this reporter stands, the people will know the tru-" His words were cut off as static drowned the screen. It couldn't be true. Daniel looked down the street he was on and saw a person staring at him. A gutteral scream emerged from his throat and he began running after Daniel. He quickly opened up the manhole and jumped back into the sewers. The person (was it?) banged his fists against the closed manhole, screaming at him. Daniel took off down the sewers. He survived for quite a while. He occasionally crept to the surface to loot some food from the now empty stores. Now, however, the city had become completely overun, it was too dangerous to venture out. And his collection was running thin. And now, one of them has invaded his home. Daniel snuck through the tunnel. The exit led to a small room, one of the creatures was sitting in a chair, playing cards on a table. Cards? Odd for a zombie, no matter. Daniel lifted the crowbar above his head and swung. [/color] Edited by Nick, October 11 2008, 03:20 PM.
