Zombie Story: Threads of a Tire

=leaves=

=Adam blows the foghorn, and the Azure Comet leaves its 'dock' and heads out for open sea=

(Garth)
"Well, it was nice seeing you again, Pat."

(Pat)
'Likewise, me boy.'

He grabs me in another massive bear hug.

(Garth)
"Gah."

He let's me go and we both laugh. I head off to my home, waving.

=I put the scope up to my eye, observing the land bridge=

(Rich and Ellie)

=We got back home and set up our beds=
=Lee is currently sleeping=

(Rich)

=I sit back in an old chair I picked up=
=Grabbing my cigs and lighting one=
=A large puff of smoke exits and I sigh=

Ah...Such a productive day...

(Dakotah)

=He steps on the head of the last Zed of a small horde=
=Crushing it into the pavement=

Sleep now.

=He wipes off his shoe and continues searching=
=At this point he could care less his current location=
=He needed fuel. He needed it now=
=He steps into an abandoned home=
=Blood smeared everywhere=

=I sit near the safe area and take out a map, observing on the next place to go=

=I had been biking for nearly three hours when I reached the town of Honfleur. Unfortunately, I had no where else to go but through the town; I had already come this far. Besides, it had a small port, and there was bound to be a boat=

Well, I always wanted to sail the high seas.

=I followed the road, and plunged into what was most likely a dead town=

(Dakotah)

=He goes off to the kitchen=
=Searching the fridge for any nonperishables=
=Even though to years had passed=
=He slams the door=

=He sees a faint light coming from a room=

Hmm...

=He walks to the room. A laptop sitting open to a site=
=He chuckles=

Trying to find a cure, are we.

=He sits down at the chair=
=Looking up the old forum, logging in=

[21:58:19] @Dakotah : Desolation. Isolation. Death. Destruction. Nothingness. I havent found a single live person in what seems like an eternity. Its all dead. I have no clue where I am at the current moment. All I can say is...The U.S. Is dead...from what I can see...I will continue hoping for the best. Continue living

=He logs off=

I go to my room and put the carving tools on the desk. I feel the need to decorate my house more, but I decide to wait until I am better rested. I sit down on the bed and relax.

=At the edge of the town, I stopped and consulted my map. It didn't really help much, but apparently I had to keep going straight, then make a right. From there, i'd find the docks, reserved for small boats. I pulled out my pistol, and started again into the town. I hadn't been int the town long, before I saw a large group of stenches, some on the sidewalk, others on the road. I fired into the ones in front of me, and they dropped. The others saw me then, and instantly, they all began charging at me. I peddled faster, and soon, I was like the Pide Piper of zombies, they were all behind me, with more joining in=

Oh hell, I better not get a flat.

=After driving around Kinsale, Killing zombies, marking buildings on the map for looting later, sorry, 'Salvaging', and essentially building a caravan out of shopping carts tied linearly to the back of the golf cart so that more goods could be carried, and filling everything up and covering the goods with tarps, finally starts to head back to the Safe area=

=I had woken up in The Duckboat. I check my rifle, and walk over to the drivers seat.=

A bit of hunting won't hurt...

=walks around and sees millers ride=


wow a duckboat haven't seen then in while

=I look out the window, seeing somebody. I grab hold of my rifle, keeping it hidden behind the door.=

Friendly?

=sees a zed walk up and throws a blade into it's skull killing it=


easy


=retrirves the blade=

wanna come out now?

Are you a Raider or not?!

=I keep the rifle hidden behind the door.=

Well, I'm about to go Zed hunting. You can come along if you want.

So you coming or not?

=I start the engine.=

=climbs in=

forgot the speed of these things

=I begin to drive.=

No idea how fast this thing goes.

A tank?

=I look back at him.=

I think I like it the way it is.

It's homely.

=I shrug, and look out the window.=

Springfield Rifle, combat knife... And a Uboyneg shotgun... You?

Wow... That's alot.

=I carry on driving.=

(Rich)

=I woke up a bit early=
=Still in my chair=
=I must have put out the cig because...well I cant remember putting it out...=
=I look at the door. Partially open=
=I remember shutting it=

Lee...

=I cough and go over to the bed=
=Laying down=

(Ellie)

=I had gotten up in the dark. Going into Rich's room to see if he was still awake=
=I saw him in his chair. Smoking=
=I shook my head and took the end out of his moth and put it out=

When the hell...did ya start smokin, bub...

=I left for my room again. Crawling into the bed and falling asleep again=

=Took longer to get back to the safe Area, with all the weight on the cart, on the way towards lispatrick=

(Dakotah)

=He had stayed the night in the building=
=Constantly awake=
=He finally knocked out at about two-thirty=
=He woke up at about six. Taking what he didnt and continuing to search for fuel=
=Finding a station with some cans half full=
=He takes them and heads to the Jeep=

=I had to think. The goddamn thought, just had to cross my mind. No sooner, had i hoped that I would not get a flat, then my front tire suddenly deflated, after I had unknowingly rode over broken glass=

AWWWWW, SHIT!!!

=I had to ditch the bike, and run. Thankfully, I had a number of things on my side: I already had some distance between me and the stenches. The small little dock, my destination, was within sight, and I could already see some boats. Finally, the stenches were still a little slow. I mean, they weren't walking, but neither were they running. It was like, a power walk, with a limp, and without the stupid pose=

(Dakotah)

=He had filled up the truck with the fuel=
=Not much. About half=

=He looks around one last time=
=Seeing a few Zeds in the distance=
=He hops in and turns the key=
=He pushes his foot down on the pedal and sets it to drive=
=A loud squealing of tires fills the silent town=
=Soon he felt the bumps from the zombies=

Get out of my way.

=I walk up to the wooden barrier on the land bridge and know on it=

Hey! Lassen Sie mich durch!

=A few stenches in front of me got closer, and I had to shoot them, as I ran. They went down. I kept running all the way to the small little dock. There was a boat there, I think it was a cabin cruiser. Whatever it was, I had to untie it first. It was actually easy; all I had to do was loosen the ropes, then lift them over the little hook thing. The horde was ten feet away from me, when I jumped onto the boat. The boat was still close to the edge of the dock though, so i had to push at it. The nearest stench was three feet away when the boat became out of reach=

Yes! How do you like me now? Huh?

I wake up and plan out my day.

"Check on my rifles...test out the ranges on them...get some ammo...go scavenging...hang out. Sweet. Seems like a boring day."

I chuckle to myself and go make myself some breakfast.

(Rich and Ellie)

=We had woken up. Got Bo some food and water and headed out=
=We are now scavenging out on the skirts of the slums=

Ellie-You never told me you smoked...

Rich-I...started durin the two years...

Ellie-Youve been smokin for two years!?

Rich-Nah...one...

Ellie-You saw what them damn things did ta Uncle Leo...

Rich(nods)-I know....I..I promise Ill quit...

=Xazhi is lating on his bed, tossing a knife at the wall, smoking a steam cigarette*, when Adam walks in=

Xaz- Hey, Adam.

Adam- Hey. I wanted to talk to you about or 'ferry' from America to Ireland. Like, where do we start from? How do we know where they will be?

Xaz- Easy. We start in Florida, and head up the coast, sending out radio communications to anyone who can hear us. We'll have to stay fairly close to the shore.

Adam- Okay. And i was also thinking something else. There are bound to be abandoned ships out here. We could get supplies off of them, no?

Xaz- Sounds like a plan. Anything else?

Adam- Well, i guess all we need now is a couple of Aliases.

Xaz- What? Why?

Adam- I dunno. It just seems weird telling strangers our names, even if we are rescuing them...

Xaz- So what shall your alias be, oh mysterious one?

Adam- Umm..... Ale?

Xaz- Okay then....

Adam- You?

=Xazhi throws the knife into the wall again, and it gets stuck in=

Xaz- White dog... Or Sticks. Whichever works.

Adam- White dog?

Xaz- You remember Mr. B, dont you?

Adam- Oh yea, thats right... Well, im going back up to the bridge. Ill let you know if anything happens.

=Adam leaves and heads up the the bridge. Xazhi goes up and stands on the deck=

*(An electronic device, that looks and functions like a cigarette, but is filled with water, and produces steam, not smoke. His is solar [because i thought that by 2015 that would be a thing])

=While the stenches moaned, I walked to the controls of the boat. Whoever owned it, they left the keys in the ignition=

Oh, I hope there's gas in the tank.

=I turned the key, and maybe it was god, or just more luck than I deserved, but the engine started=

WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

=I took the wheel in my hands, and guided the boat out of the dock, and towards the river, and headed left towards the English Channel=

=sits the relaxing=

=Once the boat was far enough from land, I stopped, and checked the boat for anything I could use: food, water, weapons, etc. I found a bag of chips, two bottles of water, and maps. The maps I looked at first: I figured I'd have to keep going straight until I reached Britain. From there, I'd have to along the coast, towards the southern tip. I'd have to make stops along the way, but unless I was wrong, the journey would take maybe a four days. Or less=

=While driving... My vision went white... I could feel myself drifting off.=

(Hissing Voice) Welcome... To the programme...
You are...
...

TRUTH...

You are...

=I wake up to the feeling of my head hitting something. I look up, to see the Duck boat slammed into a building.=

Shit...

=The Guards, being mostly Irish, and a few Englishmen, heard the german, but did not know what was said=

=laughs as he's sitting in the duckboat=


wonder how long it took him to notice

=I kick the door open, and climb out the duckboat. We weren't that far from... I don't know.=

=climbs out=
