The keep it going story thread.

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

The keep it going story thread.

Unread post by Ravenwing »

This is prolly stupid, I know, but the DR boards are so sloooooooowwwwwwwwwww lately, so I came up with this goofy little idea.

The idea. Each poster adds to the story/encounter/adventure. The only rules are? You have to end your post so that it's open, IE the next poster can add to it. And we'll just keep it going. think of this little thread as a Campaign starter or random encounters if you will.

Since it's my goofball ideal, I'll go first.

It's six months after the dead have risen, until now, our little group of survivors have been living in a large house. It's been boarded up, with each window having plastic on the inside. Our survivors haven't got much clue of whats going on outside the house. The powers been out for more then two months, but our survivors have had a small natural gas generator to keep some power on. But the natural gas ran out lastnight, and so they haven't got any power anymore.

The water's off as well, but they've had a nice supply of bottled water. Not enough to bathe regularly, but enough to drink, and cook with. They managed to stockpile some water before it was turned off, but now their supplies are running out. Each of our survivors have about three liters of water left, and a can of beans.

The house sits on two city lots, with a nice six foot tall cinder block wall/privacy fence around it. The house sits in the center of the block, with a house and property on either side.

Now our survivors have been listening to the radio, before it went down, and they're pretty convinced that the Wave wiped out most people on earth. But they've been listening to the sounds outside, and they know there's something out there. they've heard moaning, and screams, and gunshots, and all kinds of noises. So our survivors are pretty scared.

But with the power out, their water getting low, and their food low, our survivors have decided that they have to go out and find some more water and food at the very least. Maybe they can find someone that knows whats going on?

So they go through the house, and they collect up anything that looks like it might be a weapon. They've found a baseball bat, a crowbar, a sledgehammer, a wood axe,a machete, a hatchet, a .38 special revolver, a 12-gauge shotgun(pump five round tube magazine) and a 30-06 Savage Rifle with a basic scope.

Now armed they gather up a basic set of goods, collecting some backpacks, rucksacks, dufflebags, and a purse. They take their three litters of water each, along with their weapons, and they unseal the door......

Next.

As they were looking around the house one of them is looking through the previous occupents study and was looking throught the desk and finds an out of date local map. they bring it to the others and even though its out of date they use it as referance for the route they are planning to take. one of them spots an add for the local food mart and they look on the map and find it on the map. as they leave the property the streets are cloged with cars or wrecks or burnt out husks. there are a few bodies here and there some with gun shot wounds to there heads and others with a wide veriate of injuries. they look at the map to get there barrings they hear a noise for behind a car and turn to see a.....

...zombie, still strapped inside the car and bound by the seat belt, trying desperately to get out and get to the party. Its arms are flailing in every direction, and its legs are kicking rather ferociously. It begins banging on the steering wheel, trying to rip itself from the strap binding it to the seat.

Sharon, a mid-40s woman with an eye patch and long, greasy black hair, assesses the scene with the zombie. We should toast that thing before it starts attracting the kind of attention we don't want she says quietly to the others, southern drawl dripping from the words. She pulls a nightstick out of her belt and begins to creep slower, gripping the baton tightly like a baseball bat.

As she approaches, the zombie begins to moan...softly at first, but getting louder and louder. And then it slams its fists into the steering wheel one last time, setting off the car's horn and its alarm system. The loud, high-pitched whine of the alarm blares out over everything, alerting...

...Mitch "Saltwater" Lang a thin ,bald, grey bearded man in a soiled tye-dyed shirt to the fact that the car alarm and moaning has caught the attention of three more zombies across the lot (one that looks as if it is only a head with a spine and two legs.) these three also begin to moan and walk towards the group. Saltwater attempts to ready his shotgun when...

sight. a chevy blazer speeds backwards down the alley, a man wearing a bandana in the back dumps several badly aimed shotgun rounds down the alley at the pursueing horde. the buckshot staggers the giant. "get in dumbshits!" he screams extending his hand to help. almost as suddenly as the two men appear driving only a few blocks the shotgun levels towards you signaling the end of the ride. "goodluck" bandana says as he speeds off blasting away at anything that moves. lucky to be alive and now hordes closing in you.....

see a dirt trail leading off into the woods. We decide to take the chance in the woods thinking that they are too close for the zombies to come at us all at once and the undergrowth might slow them down further. As we reach the first bend a crawler drops out of the tree above and...

lands with a loud thud crushing its own skull on the stony ground. not waiting to think of your good fortune you move fast up the winding trail.glancing back now and then your group has swollen to nine people. the sounds of rushing water fill your ears you can feel the temperture has dropped a little raising goose bumps on your sweat drenched form. a storm drain flows eerily, invitingly a place to hide perhaps? not wanting to risk being eaten in a sewer you venture off alone. the rest of the group chose the sewer you chose life or so you think.....
