<span style="color: seagreen">It had been a long walk from Seattle, Washington to Colorado, but Piper was nowhere near reaching her destination. She couldn’t believe that four months had already passed and she wasn’t even halfway across the United States, but it couldn’t be helped. Ever since the outbreak traveling was a challenge and if you weren’t careful things could turn terrible fast. There was time she wished she never moved away from Philadelphia, from her family and friends, but after her father’s death she decided to walk her own path. Which included moving to the opposite side of the US and quitting her residency to become a doctor.<br/><br/>During the last few months she had taken a crash course on surviving in this new world. She tried her best to avoid major cities because it was over populated with the undead, so she spent most of her time sneaking in and out of places to avoid being detected. And not only did she had the undead to worry about, but other survivors. People were desperate for survival and would do just about anything to get what they needed. Sure, she had traveled with a few groups because it did have it perks having others around to help you, but when things looked as though it was about to go sour Piper chose to move on alone.<br/><br/>Piper crept silently thought a town in Colorado. This hadn’t been the route she wanted to take, but once she was forced on to avoid running into a rowdy group of survivors she had spotted in the road west of here. They were heading in the direction she wanted to travel, but since she didn’t want have to deal with them she came this way instead. She walked carefully around some building and into others, scavenging for anything useful she could find.<br/><br/>She was coming out of another house when she quickly ducked into the shadows when she saw someone walking. Oh god! She wasn’t the only one in this town. She hoped that whoever it was wasn’t part of the rowdy group she had passed on the road. All thoughts of searching more houses were quickly replaced by leaving a quietly as possible. That was when she spotted the house.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Survivors Inside!</span><br/><br/>Was that true? She wasn’t sure if the sign could be trusted so she stayed where she was at, in the shadows of another house, cautiously watching. She saw two people enter, but no one came out. Did something happen to them? Piper waited some time before she followed, but she didn't walk in through any door. Instead she quietly pulled herself up onto the roof above porch and went in through one of the windows on the second floor.</span>
