Zombie Story: Threads of a Tire

You need to tone down the anger.

(Rich and Ellie)

Rich(Sticking out his hand)-Nice ta meet'cha

Ellie-Likewise, Pat.

(GSL)
'Fine. Please get the fuck out of my store.'


(Pat)
He grabs both of them in a large bear hug.

'Nice to meet both of ya.'

=I chuckle again=

That's better..

=I stand up straight=

So.. where are you from?

(GSL)
'Why do you care? It's Germany.'

=Aodh=
Willdo, out.

Hmm.. Really?

=I turn around and begin to walk out=

I guess you can live...

(GSL)
'Live? You mean you were going to kill me? Fucking raiders...'

(Rich and Ellie)

Rich(Feeling a loss of breath)-Alright big guy

Ellie(I manage to get my arms around him)-Big hug!

(Dakotah)

=He steps out of the Jeep, Now empty on fuel=
=He looks around. Most of the building still standing=

Hmm...

=He begins walking down the middle of the road=
=Hearing moans=

=I turn back around=

Of course I wasn't going to kill you.

=I begin to walk out again=

(Pat)
He let's them go.

'So, what bring you two here to Ireland? It can't be because of the lush greens and the lovely rain, can it?'

He laughs a big belly laugh.

(Garth)
I wander off to the Traveler Store to see if there is anything I want.

(Rich and Ellie)

Ellie-Thats exactly why I came here! =I giggle=

Rich(laughs)-I came here for the great fun of killin Irish Zeds

=I turn back around, picking up the Revolver and tossing it to her=

Stay safe.

=I walk out=

(Pat)
He laughs again.

'Of course! That's where all the fun is to be had. So, what are you looking for? Anything I can help with?'

(GSL)
She catches her revolver.

'What the fuck...?'

=I look at the land bridge again and head for the ammo shop=

(Rich and Ellie)

Rich-Well. Lookin fer two beds.

Ellie-Hopefully a couch?

(Pat)
'Well, I doubt anyone will give you anything, but let's see what we can find.'

He picks up Ellie and puts her on his shoulders.

'C'mon, let's go look.'

=I enter the shop and head up to the counter=

(Raul)
He looks up from his game of one man chess.
'What can I do for ya?'

(Rich and Ellie)

Ellie(Sitting on his shoulder)-Whoa...

Rich(looking up at her)-Hows the weather up there!

Ellie-Dark! Makes me sad! =I giggle=

Rich(laughs)-Youll be okay

Explosives. Do you have any?

(Pat)
We go over to a small stall.

'Hey there. These two are looking for some bedding material. You have any?

(Stall owner)
'Depends on what they got. And where is the second one? I only see one person.'


(Raul)
'Nope.'

Do you know where I can get any?

(Raul)
'Nope.'

(Rich and Ellie)

Ellie(I poke my head down to see the owner)-Howdy!

Rich(laughs)-I got some Garand Ammo, I can give you this Desert Eagle. =Bringing the gun out=

Damn..

=I walk out of the store=

(Stall owner)
He laughs.

'Well howdy. Couldn't see you up there, you were so high up.'

He looks at Rich.

'The ammo will do just fine.'

He leans down and picks up a large bundle of memory foam.

'This'll work?'

=I overlook the landbridge again, thinking=

(Rich)

=I holster the gun=

Thatll do just fine, sah.

(Ellie)

=I look around=

Do do do do do

(Stall owner)
He hands him the bundle.

'Ammo please.'


(Pat)
'Whatchya thinking up there, missy?'

(Rich)

=I take out my ammo bag=

Hmm...

=I search around for it=

Ah-ha! There ya'r ya rascly things.

=I take out about fifty of my shots and hand them to him=

(Ellie)

=I look down=

Nothin much. Thinkin on how this place must've been like.

=sits near the derelict shack=

(Garth)
I walk up to the group with a small basket with some carving tools.

"What are you all up to?"

(Pat)
'I can tell you what is was like.'

(Garth)
"Not this story again..."

I smile, jokingly.

(Pat)
'Shush you.'

He chuckles.

(Ellie)

I wanna hear it!

=I giggle=

(Rich)

Just say story and ya got her attention

=I laugh=

=walks into the gun store=

(Pat)
'Well, it was green as far as the eye could see. Even from where you are sitting, missy. The sun shone, and even when it didn't it was raining. People laughed and joked and drank and were merry.'

He starts walking around. The rest of us following.

'It was fun. Then the Zeds came and changed it all.'


(GSL)
'What do you want?'

=puts an ak47 on the counter=

(Rich)

(GSL)
'Look under the counter and see what you want. You get one for one.'

She lights a cigarette, her hand shaking.

Xaz- Adam?

Adam- Yea?

Xaz- I think... I think we should head back...

Adam- To Boston!?

Xaz- If there are any survivors left out there, they will need transport here.

Adam- Okay... Well we have enough supplies to make a few round trips, so i guess its and idea...

Xaz- Alright then. Prep the ship. We leave at noon.

Adam- Alright.

=Adam heads up to the bridge=

'One for one.'

She puts one of the pistols up on the counter.
