World War Z (Reinstated)

Character link here:

Karl Wessel was up early. It had been a while since he ventured this close to a main city. Too many risks, too many Zs. Maybe it was the weariness that had been increasing over the last few weeks. This is what usually happened to him when he didn't have any particular task at hand or a particular group of people to help out. It was just part of him. Since the loss of his family in the first few days of the Outbreak, he had devoted himself to helping others. It was the fireman in him, he supposed...

He had been heading south from San Francisco and had camped out at an abandoned firewatch tower, with the LA Sprawl stretching out far to his south. Just as he was was getting ready to go, he paused for his top-of-the-hour ritual of turning on his scanner and listening for 10 minutes. He was startled into high awareness by an actual broadcast. The name of the broadcaster was familiar to him but it couldn't be him! How could he have made it from NY to LA? Shaking his head, he remembered that he had done just that and so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise for another survivor to cross the country.

As he looked out towards LA, he saw a weak flare go up. Many miles away. Too far to reach before the people down there moved on. But what else was on his calendar today? He marked the location of this fire tower on his map and, with a shrug, Karl climbed down to the dirt road and headed off to the south.

After an hour or so of walking, the morning silence was broken by gunfire, and lots of it. There was the booming of shotguns and the higher pitched chatter of submachine guns. He broke into a jog and approached the sounds of battle....

Ash ran all the way back Zombies still covered the area but not as many as before. Her friends seemed to be gone she hoped the best for them as she came apon the gas station. Ash knew what she had to do but the semi was out of the question. She came out on 15 Z's and began firing she got down 10 easy but soon ran out of bullets. Each shot she took took down 1 or 2 zombies but when she ran out she took her next weapon down. It was a baseball bat a Zombie ran at her as she hit the thing in the head it stumbled to the ground.

Ashley headed right over to the trailer where her bike was set up she pulled a lever down on the trailer and the back came down. Another Zombie came at her as she tryed to get the chains off her bike. Ash grabbed for a hangun she had hidden in the side of her bike's bag and fired hitting the creature right in the throat. As soon as she got the bike unchained she looked up there should have been three zombies running around yet there was none something was not right.

She rolled the bike off the back and wheeled it out into the street Ash jumped on the back of it and started up the engine. That's when they came at her "Aahh!" She screamed as they jumped at her but she had already took off. "That was close" She looked a head of her seeing nothing she turned down a street the sign on it read "4th and Main" Yet she still didn't no where she was really.

Ash soon stopped about a mile away from where she last seen any Zombies. She grabbed the mic. and called out. "Zack...James..Anybody is there anybody out there...Are you alright please speak to me" Her voice was cracking and she had began crying a delayed emotion from what had just took place. "Come on please...James..Zack.Please be alright" Tears came down on her face she was hoping someone would hear her and hoping they wouldn't hear her.
