					<div class="bbWrapper">You are drifting through darkness, floating weightless in an inky black void. Slowly you realize you are not quite awake, but coming out of unconsciousness; you must have passed out for some reason. You try to sit up, but some unseen force holds your body down. With a note of frustration, you realize again that you are still not fully awake. Focusing your will you try to start yourself awake, and for a moment it seems to work – you sit up and look around and can see that you are in a dark tunnel with very little light. You notice a man stooped over some object to your right and try to call out to him, but your voice does not work. Regardless, the man turns to look at you and it is then that you see it is not a man at all, but a smoky silhouette of shadow in vaguely a man-like shape. The thing sets upon you in a flash and you feel a smothering presence overpowering you in the darkness, wrapping you up, holding you down; trying to invade you. In panic you jolt awake – this time for real.<br>
<br>
The first thing you notice is a sharp stabbing pain in your head. Reaching up, you feel your hair matted in blood and grimace as you run your fingers over the jagged edges of what must surely be a serious head wound. Part of your scalp has actually been torn free of your skull and hangs in a greasy mess over your ear. You’re not bleeding from the wound very much – it seems to have clotted – but you definitely should get it seen by a medical professional sooner than later…<br>
<br>
In addition, your left arm, shoulder, and side are numb. Moving them slightly, you wince at small twinges of pain here and there, but are relieved to see that they are not broken – though it does seem that you have been thrown down on that side recently and with significant force.<br>
<br>
Sitting yourself up against a wall of cool damp stone you take in your surroundings. The floor is of hard packed dirt with a thick layer of dust on top and (from what you can feel), quite a bit of shattered safety glass lays around you. In the air, you smell a mix of smoke and ozone, like when an electrical outlet shorts out. That and the heavy stink of blood (your own maybe, you do seem to have lost quite a bit) and something reminiscent of burning hair… All in all, it’s somewhat hard to breathe, as if you’re not quite getting enough oxygen with each breath.<br>
<br>
It is very dark, but a dim greenish glow stemming from a huge mass of twisted metal before you gives enough illumination to at least make out your hand in front of your face, as well as what’s immediately around you. Looking at the mass in front of you, you can see that it is the wreckage of a subway train – or perhaps even two trains – as if one had run up into another on the same track. Now, however, the subway cars choke the dark tunnel you are in, cast zigzag across the tracks in a crumpled and jagged pile of wreckage. The greenish glow comes from inside the smashed train cars themselves and you surmise that it would be illumination from the emergency exits.<br>
<br>
Looking to your right, you see a mangled body without a head. You shudder and wonder what it was you saw standing over that body in your half-conscious dream state.<br>
<br>
Thinking back, you try to remember how you could have arrived in such a predicament, but you can’t get past the pain in your head. Your memory is all cloudy. How much of it have you lost? All of it apparently; you can’t even recall your own name. Looking yourself over for a clue to your own identity, you note that you are wearing reasonably savvy business attire with a gold watch. Unfortunately, the watch is broken, its face smashed and the hands stopped at 7:40 am.<br>
<br>
Checking your back pocket you find your wallet and upon looking inside, you find your license.<br>
<br>
“Greg Bradley”, you say to yourself, reading the name off the ID. The address shows a street in the suburbs. There’s also a photo of the wife and kids (you guess). The woman is pretty enough and there are two cute girls – a ten-year-old and a younger one, maybe seven.<br>
<br>
A twinge of frustration creeps into your mind. Why can’t you remember anything? Isn’t seeing things like this supposed to jar a memory or something? You take the photo out of the wallet and tuck it into your breast pocket. Checking the rest of the contents, you find a number of low-end credit cards, $50 cash, and a half dozen of your own business cards; showing that you are an accountant for the Morgan Corporation, located on the 24th floor of the Summit Tower.<br>
<br>
Also in your possession is a crushed cell phone (totally dead) and a ring of keys including the key and fob to a Toyota, a house key, a PO Box key, a padlock key, and what you think is an elevator key marked ‘ST 24’. Incidentally, your key chain also includes a small LED penlight – which upon testing in the darkness of the tunnel, seems to offer minuscule comfort against the engulfing blackness.<br>
<br>
It occurs to you that you should probably find something to bandage your head with. You consider for a moment trying to use your shirt as a makeshift bandage. It seems to work in the movies.<br>
<br>
It is then that you hear the rattle of movement from within the pile of train wreckage before you, followed by a long mournful sounding groan. Instinctively, you quickly turn off your penlight and remain still; waiting to see what is making the noise without yet revealing your presence. You don’t hear the sound again and wonder if some injured person is trapped there in the twisted subway cars, waiting for you to make the first move…<br>
<br>
1. Wait quietly for help to arrive<br>
2. Bind your head with cloth from your shirt<br>
3. Call out to whoever is there<br>
4. Try to sneak toward the source of the sound without revealing your presence<br>
5. Ignore the sound and climb through the wreckage to the front of the subway train<br>
6. Ignore the sound and climb through the wreckage to the rear of the subway train</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">(Thank you, I appreciate it, obviously this seems to have a good start with someone, even though for a while I thought this was going to die in the annals of the Questing forum, I will have this move on with your choice now because so far it didn't appear anyone else will give out a choice, for now so we shall go with what you gave.)<br>
<br>
(So Choice 4 has been chosen with 1 vote!)<br>
<br>
Hauling yourself up, you cautiously move toward the sound of the person seemingly trapped in the wreckage. Climbing up the caved-in side of an overturned subway car you peer over to see a horrific sight. Train cars and bodies are smashed together in a grizzly mess that makes your stomach lurch. Severed limbs and broken corpses litter the debris, while one particularly gruesome body has literally had its entrails torn out and spread over a large bloody swath. Of particularly chilling detail, you notice shuffling footprints moving through the mess, leaving a trail on the other side of the pileup, and headed off toward the front of the train wreck.<br>
<br>
You again hear the moaning and follow it to where two train cars have slammed together side-to-side. There, a man is trapped between the two cars just above the waist. You have no idea how he could still be alive, as the damage looks grave. You can’t see it from here, but you can imagine his pelvis and legs have probably been sheared off and right now, only the pressure of the train cars slammed together holds his insides from falling out beneath him. The man looks like he is in shock and moans, still trying to pull free now and again, but without much real effort. You notice a lot of blood around his mouth and throat – probably what he has spit up since getting pinned.<br>
<br>
1. Go to see if you can help this poor soul (maybe it’s not as bad as it looks)<br>
2. Ignore the person in the wreckage and climb through the mess to the front of the subway train (following the bloody footprints)<br>
3. Ignore the person in the wreckage and climb through the mess to the rear of the subway train</div>

As you approach the man, he looks up and moans loudly reaching with his arms towards you. Going around behind him you reach under his arms in an attempt to pull him free. Not only is he stuck fast, but he actually tries to bite your arm as you try to help him. You pull back just in time and the man goes berserk, snarling and biting at you and thrashing about wildly. You notice that he is slowly beginning to extricate himself with all the erratic movement – but not simply by slipping out from between the two train cars – the thing is actually tearing itself free from its lower half in a spill of steaming red entrails!<br>

<br>
You move quickly avoiding the man, ignoring the mess behind you and with the throbbing pain of your injuries, make your way over and through the wreckage of the train cars that scatter the tunnel in the direction, the train was headed for before the wreck.<br>
<br>
Along the way you see dead bodies everywhere, smashed into the twisted metal of the wrecked train cars – each more gruesome than the last. Disturbingly, you also notice an unusually large amount of entrails scattered about. You somehow doubt that that many people could all have been disemboweled simultaneously by a simple train wreck – even one as serious as this one appears to be. You’re not sure (and you certainly don’t want to get close enough to find out firsthand), but some of the bodies even look as if they have recently been savaged, as if by some wild animals’ rending jaws. As you get further along, you also notice a large number of bloody footprints headed in the same direction you are going. They seem to be joined by more and more footprints as you pass through one mangled subway car after another.<br>
<br>
At length you get to the front of the train you must have been riding on. In walking, you surmise that you had been on the train and thrown out a window when it crashed. You must have struck your head when you landed, which knocked you out for who knows how long. On that thought, you risk approaching a random victim’s arm sticking out of the wreckage to take their watch. Unlike yours, this one still works and indicates the time to be 6:04 pm. If that is correct, and your watch indicates the time of the crash, that means you were out of it for roughly ten hours. Wow, you’d better not go back to sleep until you can get yourself to a hospital or you might not wake up again. You also find a working cell phone in the aisle as you go and see that it still works, but there’s no signal down here in the subway tunnel.<br>
<br>
Looking at the first car of your train, you see that it is completely flattened under the rear cars of another train. It looks as if the first train was stopped on the tracks and your train somehow ran into the back of it at a rather high rate of speed.<br>
<br>
Continuing on, you cautiously pass through the scattered cars of this train with much the same scene of carnage cast before your eyes, until you finally arrive at the head of the first train. Unlike your train, the first car of this train is relatively intact. You know that at the very front of the train is a control room, which hopefully will have at least a first aid kit and if you’re lucky, a working radio. As you approach, you see that all the bloody footprints leave the train at this point and continue down the tunnel in the direction the train was headed. They are quickly lost however in the hard-packed dirt and darkness of the tunnel itself – though following them won’t be a problem – you only got one direction to go – unless you want to turn around and go back the way you just came it appears it would be safe to do so as it does not appear anything is following you anymore.<br>
<br>
1. Search the train’s control room before deciding what to do<br>
2. Turn and go back</div>

<br>
The door to the train’s control room is locked, but you are able to go outside and pull the smashed remains of the train car’s windshield out, allowing you to climb inside. When the train was hit from behind, it caused the cars of both trains to accordion together, sending them sliding almost sideways down the tunnel into each other until this particular car got wedged in a narrow spot and caused the massive and jagged pileup behind it. As you enter the control room, you see that the driver of the train has been crushed to death by the front of the train as it smashed into the side of the tunnel and got wedged in. You try not to look too closely at his flattened and gore drained shell; or the pool of mess under what’s left of his seat.<br>
<br>
Checking the area, you see a map of the train lines on one wall and note that the train was headed into the city before it crashed. That makes sense to you, as you would have been traveling from your house in the suburbs to your office in the city during the morning rush. Looking around some more, you find a well-stocked first aid kit, a proper flashlight, a crowbar, some signal flares, a large fire extinguisher, and working CB radio. You also find the train operator’s book bag with his lunch in it and help yourself to the contents, seeing as he won’t miss it anytime soon. You’re actually surprised that it tastes so good, given that you’re eating it in a small room with a horribly mangled corpse just a few feet away.<br>
<br>
After eating, you wrap your wounds in proper bandages and down a couple of pain pills and a no doze. You’re pretty sure you don’t want to fall asleep in here regardless of the head injury. You definitely don’t feel safe down here in this tunnel of death. Packing the first aid kit, flashlight, and signal flares in the book bag, you heft the crowbar in your hand and check out the CB Radio – unfortunately, it’s not the portable kind, but definitely worth trying to call for help on.<br>
<br>
You consider trying to take the large fire extinguisher, but are not sure about the weight versus utility. It can wait till you’re ready to leave, so you decide to address it again after trying the radio.<br>
<br>
After a while trying the current channel with no response, you try calling out on the other channels. Just when you are ready to give up, you dial channel 7 and hear a voice answer you on the other end.<br>
<br>
“Help, I’ve been in a subway train wreck!” you say over the comm.<br>
<br>
“This is Officer Main of the 3rd Precinct, who is this, over.”<br>
<br>
“Uh, my name is Greg Bradley”, you identify yourself, “I’m on a wrecked subway car down in the tunnels, I don’t know where exactly. Everyone on board is either dead or gone.”<br>
<br>
You hear an awkward pause on the other end of the com, and then Officer Main’s voice comes back on, slow and grim.<br>
<br>
“Listen Greg, there is no easy way to tell you this, but the whole world has gone to shit, just like that train down there. Some sort of terrorist bio-weapon released on the city this morning. A poison gas, or virus, or the like. It causes those exposed to suffer death-like symptoms, including a semi rigor mortis like state, and then they go crazy with cannibalistic rage. Just like the zombies in them movies. And like the movies, you got to hit them in the head and destroy their brain in order to put them down for good. Also, if you get bit by one you got roughly ten minutes before you’re one of them yourself – though I did heard this one guy actually lasted three hours before he changed. You haven’t been bitten now have you” he asks, pausing for a reply.<br>
<br>
“No”, you say quickly, not wanting to lose contact with what could possibly be the last living soul in the city.<br>
<br>
“All right then,” Officer Main continues, “Here’s what you need to do. Follow the tracks to the first station and get to the streets above. The first thing you need to do is avoid contact with any zombies. Next, you need to get your bearings and know where you are in the city – get a street map if you can. Then find a pry bar or tire iron and drop yourself into the nearest ‘center of the street’ manhole cover. It has to be one in the center of a main street, not a side street or manhole cover near the curb. And unless you’re Lou Ferrigno, you’ll need the tire iron to lever up the hundred and seventy five pound manhole cover. Obviously a light is going to be handy down there too.”<br>
<br>
“You still with me?” he asks.<br>
<br>
“Uh, yeah, I understand,” you reply – more than a little apprehensive about some plan to go down into more dark tunnels with ravening cannibalistic zombies lurking about.<br>
<br>
“Good” he continues. “Once inside, set the manhole cover back behind you – this should keep the zombies from following you in, unless you really piss them off for some reason. There shouldn’t be any zombies in the sewer tunnels – or if there are, there’ll be a hell of a lot less in there than on the streets. Once in the main sewer line, follow it just like you would the streets above to our Precinct House here on 3rd and Spring Street. You’ll see street names marked at each intersection of the tunnels and they run directly under the center of most streets. When you get to 3rd and Spring Street, you’ll need to be careful. The zombies are thick in this area, but we’re nice and safe here in our Precinct House. Like a fortress here, and well-armed, so you don’t got to worry once you’re inside – you just have to make a dash from the street to the door is all – you are good at running right? Over.”<br>
<br>
“I’m injured; got a head wound”, you reply, “but I suppose I can run a short distance all right. What about the hospitals though? I think I really need medical attention rather quickly. Uh, over.”<br>
<br>
“No, don’t go to any hospital! They are all overrun right now. We have medical supplies here and a triage unit with doctors and a surgeon. You get yourself here and we can help you. You hear?”<br>
<br>
“Yeah, thanks for the information. I’ll try to get to you,” you say, not really certain about it just yet.<br>
<br>
“Good Luck. Over” comes back the final reply.<br>
<br>
After giving it some thought you conclude that you now have a number of things to consider. If the city really is overrun with zombies, then you’ll need more than a crowbar to survive. You need real medical attention pretty soon too.<br>
<br>
The 3rd Precinct seems to offer both and is in the direction the train was going.<br>
<br>
Then there is your home and family. You don’t remember anything of them yet, but perhaps seeing one of them in person will trigger the return of your memories. You know they must love you and wonder if they are safe.<br>
<br>
Has the attack spread into the suburbs; or is it contained in the city? What if it spreads further? Is this the only city to be attacked; or are there more cities across the country facing the zombie threat?<br>
<br>
You’re not entirely sure how far your home is from the city, but you think you had just over a 40 minute commute – yeah, that sounds right. You try to work out in your head how far that would be in miles if you estimate the average speed of the train, when it occurs to you just to look at the line map on the wall of the control room. There you see that your suburb is twenty-six miles away from Summit Station (you presume under Summit Tower where you work), taking the green line from Summit Station to Fairmont Station and from there, the yellow line to Suburbia Station. Now all you need to know is where on the green line you are currently, which you won’t find out until you walk in one direction or the other to a station.<br>
<br>
Looking at your new watch, you see that it is now 6:35 pm.<br>
<br>
With this weighing on your mind…<br>
<br>
1. Take the heavy fire extinguisher &amp; continue heading further into the city in the direction the train was going<br>
2. Leave the heavy fire extinguisher &amp; continue heading further into the city<br>
3. Take the heavy fire extinguisher &amp; head back the way you came in the direction the train was coming from<br>
4. Leave the heavy fire extinguisher &amp; head back the way you came</div>

<br>
The door to the train’s control room is locked, but you are able to go outside and pull the smashed remains of the train car’s windshield out, allowing you to climb inside. When the train was hit from behind, it caused the cars of both trains to accordion together, sending them sliding almost sideways down the tunnel into each other until this particular car got wedged in a narrow spot and caused the massive and jagged pileup behind it. As you enter the control room, you see that the driver of the train has been crushed to death by the front of the train as it smashed into the side of the tunnel and got wedged in. You try not to look too closely at his flattened and gore drained shell; or the pool of mess under what’s left of his seat.<br>
<br>
Checking the area, you see a map of the train lines on one wall and note that the train was headed into the city before it crashed. That makes sense to you, as you would have been traveling from your house in the suburbs to your office in the city during the morning rush. Looking around some more, you find a well-stocked first aid kit, a proper flashlight, a crowbar, some signal flares, a large fire extinguisher, and working CB radio. You also find the train operator’s book bag with his lunch in it and help yourself to the contents, seeing as he won’t miss it anytime soon. You’re actually surprised that it tastes so good, given that you’re eating it in a small room with a horribly mangled corpse just a few feet away.<br>
<br>
After eating, you wrap your wounds in proper bandages and down a couple of pain pills and a no doze. You’re pretty sure you don’t want to fall asleep in here regardless of the head injury. You definitely don’t feel safe down here in this tunnel of death. Packing the first aid kit, flashlight, and signal flares in the book bag, you heft the crowbar in your hand and check out the CB Radio – unfortunately, it’s not the portable kind, but definitely worth trying to call for help on.<br>
<br>
You consider trying to take the large fire extinguisher, but are not sure about the weight versus utility. It can wait till you’re ready to leave, so you decide to address it again after trying the radio.<br>
<br>
After a while trying the current channel with no response, you try calling out on the other channels. Just when you are ready to give up, you dial channel 7 and hear a voice answer you on the other end.<br>
<br>
“Help, I’ve been in a subway train wreck!” you say over the comm.<br>
<br>
“This is Officer Main of the 3rd Precinct, who is this, over.”<br>
<br>
“Uh, my name is Greg Bradley”, you identify yourself, “I’m on a wrecked subway car down in the tunnels, I don’t know where exactly. Everyone on board is either dead or gone.”<br>
<br>
You hear an awkward pause on the other end of the com, and then Officer Main’s voice comes back on, slow and grim.<br>
<br>
“Listen Greg, there is no easy way to tell you this, but the whole world has gone to shit, just like that train down there. Some sort of terrorist bio-weapon released on the city this morning. A poison gas, or virus, or the like. It causes those exposed to suffer death-like symptoms, including a semi rigor mortis like state, and then they go crazy with cannibalistic rage. Just like the zombies in them movies. And like the movies, you got to hit them in the head and destroy their brain in order to put them down for good. Also, if you get bit by one you got roughly ten minutes before you’re one of them yourself – though I did heard this one guy actually lasted three hours before he changed. You haven’t been bitten now have you” he asks, pausing for a reply.<br>
<br>
“No”, you say quickly, not wanting to lose contact with what could possibly be the last living soul in the city.<br>
<br>
“All right then,” Officer Main continues, “Here’s what you need to do. Follow the tracks to the first station and get to the streets above. The first thing you need to do is avoid contact with any zombies. Next, you need to get your bearings and know where you are in the city – get a street map if you can. Then find a pry bar or tire iron and drop yourself into the nearest ‘center of the street’ manhole cover. It has to be one in the center of a main street, not a side street or manhole cover near the curb. And unless you’re Lou Ferrigno, you’ll need the tire iron to lever up the hundred and seventy five pound manhole cover. Obviously a light is going to be handy down there too.”<br>
<br>
“You still with me?” he asks.<br>
<br>
“Uh, yeah, I understand,” you reply – more than a little apprehensive about some plan to go down into more dark tunnels with ravening cannibalistic zombies lurking about.<br>
<br>
“Good” he continues. “Once inside, set the manhole cover back behind you – this should keep the zombies from following you in, unless you really piss them off for some reason. There shouldn’t be any zombies in the sewer tunnels – or if there are, there’ll be a hell of a lot less in there than on the streets. Once in the main sewer line, follow it just like you would the streets above to our Precinct House here on 3rd and Spring Street. You’ll see street names marked at each intersection of the tunnels and they run directly under the center of most streets. When you get to 3rd and Spring Street, you’ll need to be careful. The zombies are thick in this area, but we’re nice and safe here in our Precinct House. Like a fortress here, and well-armed, so you don’t got to worry once you’re inside – you just have to make a dash from the street to the door is all – you are good at running right? Over.”<br>
<br>
“I’m injured; got a head wound”, you reply, “but I suppose I can run a short distance all right. What about the hospitals though? I think I really need medical attention rather quickly. Uh, over.”<br>
<br>
“No, don’t go to any hospital! They are all overrun right now. We have medical supplies here and a triage unit with doctors and a surgeon. You get yourself here and we can help you. You hear?”<br>
<br>
“Yeah, thanks for the information. I’ll try to get to you,” you say, not really certain about it just yet.<br>
<br>
“Good Luck. Over” comes back the final reply.<br>
<br>
After giving it some thought you conclude that you now have a number of things to consider. If the city really is overrun with zombies, then you’ll need more than a crowbar to survive. You need real medical attention pretty soon too.<br>
<br>
The 3rd Precinct seems to offer both and is in the direction the train was going.<br>
<br>
Then there is your home and family. You don’t remember anything of them yet, but perhaps seeing one of them in person will trigger the return of your memories. You know they must love you and wonder if they are safe.<br>
<br>
Has the attack spread into the suburbs; or is it contained in the city? What if it spreads further? Is this the only city to be attacked; or are there more cities across the country facing the zombie threat?<br>
<br>
You’re not entirely sure how far your home is from the city, but you think you had just over a 40 minute commute – yeah, that sounds right. You try to work out in your head how far that would be in miles if you estimate the average speed of the train, when it occurs to you just to look at the line map on the wall of the control room. There you see that your suburb is twenty-six miles away from Summit Station (you presume under Summit Tower where you work), taking the green line from Summit Station to Fairmont Station and from there, the yellow line to Suburbia Station. Now all you need to know is where on the green line you are currently, which you won’t find out until you walk in one direction or the other to a station.<br>
<br>
Looking at your new watch, you see that it is now 6:35 pm.<br>
<br>
With this weighing on your mind…<br>
<br>
1. Take the heavy fire extinguisher &amp; continue heading further into the city in the direction the train was going<br>
2. Leave the heavy fire extinguisher &amp; continue heading further into the city<br>
3. Take the heavy fire extinguisher &amp; head back the way you came in the direction the train was coming from<br>
4. Leave the heavy fire extinguisher &amp; head back the way you came

Leaving the wrecked subway train with the heavy fire extinguisher, you move carefully through the silent darkness of the tunnel, heading further into the city. After moving without incident for twenty minutes you suddenly hear a low moaning from ahead and feel your heart begin to race. You really want to turn out your light and hide, but you need to see!<br>
<br>
You ready your crowbar and risk shining your light up the tunnel at the source of the sound. There, you see two mangled subway passengers shuffling toward you. Obviously undead, they react to the light instantly and growl loudly, beginning a clumsy trot toward you on their zombie stiff legs.<br>
<br>
One of them looks like businessman in a once fine suit and the other is a teenage girl with long sandy-blond hair, wearing loose jeans and striped t-shit. The girl also carries a broken coffee mug in one hand, probably not even realizing that she is doing so. The man looks bit-up pretty bad, but the teen girl only has a large gash across her stomach, where you can see some of her insides. You don’t actually see any bites on her and the gash looks like something you’d get from a train wreck, rather than a zombie.<br>
<br>
It makes you wonder how the hell she became a zombie in the first place, but you really don’t have time to give it much more thought than that…<br>

You turn and run back the way you came for a few minutes until you have lost the pursuing zombies to the deepening darkness of the subway tunnel. Taking a moment to catch your breath, you realize that you’ll have to deal with the zombies somehow if you want to continue in that direction.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">(Woo a Zombies favorite a one-hit wonder! Or something similar... Nonetheless, Choice 2 has been chosen with 1 vote!)<br>
<br>
You pull yourself up onto the small ledge and listen in the pitch black for the approach of the two zombies that had been following you. Almost immediately, you hear their moans echoing down the tunnel to you. Good thing you got up here when you did; they weren’t as far back as you had thought.<br>
<br>
After a minute or so, you see them shuffle into the area. You ready your crowbar and flash them with your light – “Hey morons; over here!”<br>
<br>
As expected, the former subway passengers lurch and wheel toward you, lumbering your way with hungry sounding growls. As they arrive at the ledge and try feebly to climb up, it’s a simple matter of bending over to strike at them – the crowbar in one hand and your other hand holding onto the piping to keep firmly planted on the ledge.<br>
<br>
Given that you can only strike one handed, it takes a few messy whacks at the teen zombie to knock it down for good. Once that one is taken care of, you feel a little more confidant and risk letting go of the piping to use both hands in a mighty finishing blow to the remaining zombie’s head.<br>
<br>
You give it the hardest double overhand swing from above you can muster without sacrificing your balance and watch as the force of the blow instantly crushes its head in from back to front, showering the area below in an explosion of the contents.<br>
<br>
The zombie falls limply to the ground while you lean over the side of the ledge to empty your stomach. Once you stop heaving you do what you can to wipe off your face and retrieve your flashlight.<br>
<br>
You wait a good five minutes to make sure the zombies are truly dead and then climb back down into the tunnel.<br>
<br>
You cautiously move through the silence of the tunnel, listening carefully as you go. You’d rather be anywhere else in the world than here right now, and the temptation just to give up, lie down, and die is almost overwhelming. You’ve never been prone to anxiety attacks, but this shit certainly has you on the edge.<br>
<br>
After traveling for what you thought was at least an hour, you look at your watch and see that it hasn’t even been a full thirty minutes. Time flies when you’re having fun, you think sarcastically.<br>
<br>
After another five or so minutes of plodding along, you begin to think you can see a dull light in the tunnel way up ahead. Turning your own light out momentarily confirms this, as you can definitely see a dull white glow in the tunnel – maybe a station you hope.<br>
<br>
Whatever it is, you’re still a ways off; perhaps a quarter mile or so…<br>
<br>
Eventually you approach the opening at the end of the tunnel, where it empties into a large underground subway station. Your heart sinks as you draw near and hear the echoing din of a large mass of zombies from within. You hover in the darkness of the tunnel, carefully venturing forward just enough to get a look inside.<br>
<br>
A hundred and some of the former subway passengers – all trapped in the rush hour mob and unable to escape the initial outbreak – pack the area, half on the landing platform itself and half down on the tracks.<br>
<br>
Those on the tracks look a lot worse for wear; most torn up from the subway crash you just came from – or even other crashes farther up ahead. They moan and snarl at each other, jostling and crowding toward the edge of the loading platform, trying most ineffectually at climbing up the four foot ledge. Occasionally one does manage to get up, but is quickly pulled back down by the rest trying to climb up over its back.<br>
<br>
You are reminded of a bucket of crabs. You remember once seeing one in Maine – there’s another memory – you don’t need to put a lid on a full bucket of crabs; they all try to climb up over each other. The moment one gets to the top, it is collectively grabbed by the rest and dragged back down to the bottom of the bucket.<br>
<br>
You snap out of your reflection and focus on the area itself. The zombies don’t see you yet and you doubt they’d hear you over the clamor, unless you did something to intentionally attract their attention.<br>
<br>
The station is large and tiled, with a high vaulted ceiling and a large placard reading: “Fox Park Station”. You see that the light is coming from a large number of battery powered emergency lights along the top of the walls. You also see, just beyond the crowded landing platform, two exits. The first is a turnstile gate at your end of the platform with an escalator and set of stairs going up on the other side. The second is an open set of stairs and an escalator at the far end of the platform beyond all the zombies.<br>
<br>
On the track level itself are two sets of rails, both empty of any trains. Apparently, the platform side is for stopping, while the outer track is for passing through. As the trains all go the same way through the tunnels, you know there must also be another tunnel and station nearby for the trains going in the opposite direction. Typically, it would be close enough that you could buy a ticket in the terminal above the tunnels and then simply come down the right set of escalators to your platform.<br>
<br>
You spot a dingy red metal door in the outer wall of the tunnel opposite the landing platform. While the light’s not great, there is enough that you can make out the words on its surface: "Railway Workers Only!"<br>
<br>
As you stand in the shadows of the tunnel looking over the scene, you also spot a four foot long piece of heavy planking, lying on the ground where you would exit the tunnel. You’ll have to be sure not to trip over it when you are ready to go.<br>
<br>
Man there are a lot of zombies in here!<br>
<br>
Given that, you think over your options – The open stairs and escalator at the far end of the landing platform is a no go – way too many zombies to get past even to think about it. Then there is the turnstile exit gate with the escalator and stairs on the other side. The problem with that is: to get to the stairs you’ll have to hop onto the landing platform with hundreds of zombies and make it to the turnstile exit gate and jam it before they swarm you. There is also the matter of the turnstiles being one-way. If there are zombies on the other side of it, you won’t be able to come back the way you came.<br>
<br>
The red door option on the other side of the tunnel would be much easier to get to, but if you’re detected, the zombies on the tracks will move after you and block your way back to the tunnels. You don’t even know if it’s locked or even goes anywhere – for all you know it may just be an access door to firefighting equipment – though you would think it would say so if that was the case…<br>
<br>
You could also try to sneak past the horde altogether, while they are distracted, in order to continue further down the tunnels towards the center of the city. If the rest of the stations are like this one though, then you’ll have to deal with getting out of the tunnels sooner or later…<br>
<br>
You could also just turn around and head back the way you came; trying instead to leave the city altogether rather than move any deeper into it.<br>
<br>
After weighing your odds, you:<br>
<br>
1. Make a run for the turnstile gate through the zombie horde<br>
2. Use the heavy fire extinguisher to disorient and bull-rush your way through the zombie hoard to the turnstile gate<br>
3. Try to sneak unnoticed to the red metal door<br>
4. Try to sneak unnoticed through the station to the other side of the tunnel and keep on going<br>
5. Turn around and head back the way you came</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">5. Not a good idea to sneak past them. You are not even aware of what these zombies are capable of and how they can detect you. For starters, through some skewed scienced-up logic they should be able to smell better and better than they were living 'cause they're dead. Sneaking through them may be a viable option if there's only several of them at once, but sneaking past dozens of hundreds of them at a time is out of the question. Good god, try getting out of there as fast as you can without drawing attention!</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">(Due to the fact that we have a tie, and since for the sake of the RP we shouldn't wait hours upon hours for something to be a tie breaker, I will be the tie breaker here with these two choices. Please note I am taking this from the point of view of what I WOULD do with these two choices, so taking into consideration the fact that making it this far in the subway took a long time and going back would be a waste of time and energy I'd say we should continue our path forward from which we had been going on, it's an interesting way of moving forward, and wouldn't have been specifically my choice necessarily, but I feel is better... So therefore... OPTION 2 been chosen through tie breaker done by yours truly with 2 votes to 1.)<br>
<br>
Good thing you brought this heavy fire extinguisher, you think, as you pull the pin and ready it for the onslaught. You’re thinking that you can use it as a battering ram to bowl your way through and then blast the zombies in the face with the contents to hopefully confuse them long enough to dive through the turnstile.<br>
<br>
Taking a deep breath, you rush out from the shadows of the tunnel and over to the nearest edge of the landing platform. As all the zombies on the tracks are looking in the direction of the zombies already on the platform, you are able to get right up to the edge of the zombie crowd and brush past two or three of them before vaulting up onto the upper level – the fire extinguisher clanging loudly on the tiles as you do so.<br>
<br>
There is an abrupt silence, as all attention is suddenly drawn to you, and then a roar of agitated groans and wails. As one, the entire zombie hoard starts toward you. Of course, you weren’t waiting to see what they’d do, so you’re already running full speed toward the turnstile gate at this point. Unfortunately, the zombie swarm had already partially blocked your path; and with them now actively moving toward you, you’ll need to bust past at least five or six of them before you can get to the gate.<br>
<br>
You level the heavy fire extinguisher in front of you and ram at full speed into the first two zombies with a yell – sending them flying back into two more and toppling all four of them. Almost there you think, swinging the heavy fire extinguisher with both hands at the nearest of those left standing. The butt of the extinguisher slams into the creature’s head just below the ear – shattering the thing’s jaw and knocking its head so far to the side that its neck snaps loudly. It falls to the ground twitching violently.<br>
<br>
You still have one standing between you and your goal when you feel grasping hands all over your back. It seems that your initial crash into the zombies has drastically slowed your forward momentum. With horror, you feel yourself suddenly being pulled backward into the crowd. The book bag you think! They have hold of your book bag! You drop one shoulder and spin out of the book bag freeing yourself of the horde on the landing platform, but exposing your back to the one standing between you and the turnstile gate. Knowing that it must be lunging at you even now, you do something radical and drop to the ground before rolling away to the side and emptying the contents of the fire extinguisher at your attackers.<br>
<br>
A violent blast of white powder spews up into the faces of the zombies standing over you and fills the air with a cloud of the stuff. The zombies stop short for just a moment, apparently blinded, or at least confused by the sudden stimuli. Not wasting the advantage, you scramble the last few feet toward the turnstile gate – when something grabs your leg and threatens to drag you back into the hoard.<br>
<br>
It’s one of the prone zombies you knocked down in your charge – you had almost forgotten about them in the mounting panic of your situation. Looking, you can see all four of them beginning to get back up, but the closest of them has grabbed a hold of your pant. Still having a hold of the fire extinguisher, you curse loudly and slam the butt of it down on the zombie’s head with all your might. A gruesome spray of wet gore splats across your legs as the thing’s head pops like a melon between the butt of the extinguisher and hard tile floor. You force yourself to ignore the revulsion of such a gory sight – skittering through the turnstile before the rest of the zombies can get to you.<br>
<br>
Immediately, the zombie hoard tries to reach through the bars of the gate to get at you. Looking at the stairs and escalator, you see that there are no zombies on this side of the gate – Phew! Maybe you’ll get out of this yet. The problem is that you’re now bleeding from a scratch that one must have caused on the back of your leg as it may have been clawing its way to grabbing you and are currently stuck holding the gate yourself to keep the zombies from following you through it. You need something to jam it shut with.<br>
<br>
Looking for the heavy fire extinguisher, you see that you dropped it in order to make it to the gate in time. Damn; you could have used it! That just leaves two options – sacrifice your crowbar to lock up the turnstile – or simply make a run for the stairs (hoping your injured leg will carry you through), knowing that the zombies will follow, but only just a few at a time through the confined space of the turnstile gate…<br>
<br>
Also, you have lost your book bag and the med kit, signal flares, and proper flashlight within (though you still have the penlight on your keychain).<br>
<br>
(Had this been chosen naturally without my intervention to break a tie, this choice would have caused that one zombie that scratched you to bite you instead, I didn't want to pick this choice just to make it seem like I picked the choice to kill you guys. But I didn't want to leave this without some little string attached to it!)<br>
<br>
1. Let go and make a break for the stairs (keeping your crowbar)<br>
2. Jam the turnstile with your crowbar (leaving it behind) and head up the stairs</div>

			(Due to the fact that we have a tie, and since for the sake of the RP we shouldn't wait hours upon hours for something to be a tie breaker, I will be the tie breaker here with these two choices. Please note I am taking this from the point of view of what I WOULD do with these two choices, so taking into consideration the fact that making it this far in the subway took a long time and going back would be a waste of time and energy I'd say we should continue our path forward from which we had been going on, it's an interesting way of moving forward, and wouldn't have been specifically my choice necessarily, but I feel is better... So therefore... OPTION 2 been chosen through tie breaker done by yours truly with 2 votes to 1.)<br>
<br>
Good thing you brought this heavy fire extinguisher, you think, as you pull the pin and ready it for the onslaught. You’re thinking that you can use it as a battering ram to bowl your way through and then blast the zombies in the face with the contents to hopefully confuse them long enough to dive through the turnstile.<br>
<br>
Taking a deep breath, you rush out from the shadows of the tunnel and over to the nearest edge of the landing platform. As all the zombies on the tracks are looking in the direction of the zombies already on the platform, you are able to get right up to the edge of the zombie crowd and brush past two or three of them before vaulting up onto the upper level – the fire extinguisher clanging loudly on the tiles as you do so.<br>
<br>
There is an abrupt silence, as all attention is suddenly drawn to you, and then a roar of agitated groans and wails. As one, the entire zombie hoard starts toward you. Of course, you weren’t waiting to see what they’d do, so you’re already running full speed toward the turnstile gate at this point. Unfortunately, the zombie swarm had already partially blocked your path; and with them now actively moving toward you, you’ll need to bust past at least five or six of them before you can get to the gate.<br>
<br>
You level the heavy fire extinguisher in front of you and ram at full speed into the first two zombies with a yell – sending them flying back into two more and toppling all four of them. Almost there you think, swinging the heavy fire extinguisher with both hands at the nearest of those left standing. The butt of the extinguisher slams into the creature’s head just below the ear – shattering the thing’s jaw and knocking its head so far to the side that its neck snaps loudly. It falls to the ground twitching violently.<br>
<br>
You still have one standing between you and your goal when you feel grasping hands all over your back. It seems that your initial crash into the zombies has drastically slowed your forward momentum. With horror, you feel yourself suddenly being pulled backward into the crowd. The book bag you think! They have hold of your book bag! You drop one shoulder and spin out of the book bag freeing yourself of the horde on the landing platform, but exposing your back to the one standing between you and the turnstile gate. Knowing that it must be lunging at you even now, you do something radical and drop to the ground before rolling away to the side and emptying the contents of the fire extinguisher at your attackers.<br>
<br>
A violent blast of white powder spews up into the faces of the zombies standing over you and fills the air with a cloud of the stuff. The zombies stop short for just a moment, apparently blinded, or at least confused by the sudden stimuli. Not wasting the advantage, you scramble the last few feet toward the turnstile gate – when something grabs your leg and threatens to drag you back into the hoard.<br>
<br>
It’s one of the prone zombies you knocked down in your charge – you had almost forgotten about them in the mounting panic of your situation. Looking, you can see all four of them beginning to get back up, but the closest of them has grabbed a hold of your pant. Still having a hold of the fire extinguisher, you curse loudly and slam the butt of it down on the zombie’s head with all your might. A gruesome spray of wet gore splats across your legs as the thing’s head pops like a melon between the butt of the extinguisher and hard tile floor. You force yourself to ignore the revulsion of such a gory sight – skittering through the turnstile before the rest of the zombies can get to you.<br>
<br>
Immediately, the zombie hoard tries to reach through the bars of the gate to get at you. Looking at the stairs and escalator, you see that there are no zombies on this side of the gate – Phew! Maybe you’ll get out of this yet. The problem is that you’re now bleeding from a scratch that one must have caused on the back of your leg as it may have been clawing its way to grabbing you and are currently stuck holding the gate yourself to keep the zombies from following you through it. You need something to jam it shut with.<br>
<br>
Looking for the heavy fire extinguisher, you see that you dropped it in order to make it to the gate in time. Damn; you could have used it! That just leaves two options – sacrifice your crowbar to lock up the turnstile – or simply make a run for the stairs (hoping your injured leg will carry you through), knowing that the zombies will follow, but only just a few at a time through the confined space of the turnstile gate…<br>
<br>
Also, you have lost your book bag and the med kit, signal flares, and proper flashlight within (though you still have the penlight on your keychain).<br>
<br>
(Had this been chosen naturally without my intervention to break a tie, this choice would have caused that one zombie that scratched you to bite you instead, I didn't want to pick this choice just to make it seem like I picked the choice to kill you guys. But I didn't want to leave this without some little string attached to it!)<br>
<br>
1. Let go and make a break for the stairs (keeping your crowbar)<br>
2. Jam the turnstile with your crowbar (leaving it behind) and head up the stairs

*Facepalm*<br>
<br>
Damn it, Eleph, trying to get us all killed...<br>
<br>
Getting bitten by a zombie = Certain death in 10 minutes to 3 hours.<br>
<br>
Getting scratched by a zombie? I don't know. Maybe you're not so dead but its still bound to raise suspicion. Those cop guys won't be willing to accept you and you'd probably be left to be eaten alive out in the streets if they see your wound, so yes you STILL die even if you made it there to them.<br>
<br>
Damn it, Eleph, really?<br>
<br>
*Facepalms again and sighs*<br>
<br>
Now, keeping or leaving the crowbar may seem simple but to me its a hard call to make. On one hand, you can leave the crowbar to get a few minutes' rest and prevent the few zombies following you from alerting the entire horde from the other side. On the other hand, you need to move as fast as possible and you have no friggin' idea where are the other zombies, so leaving the crowbar might not have an actual decisive impact on helping you.<br>
<br>
Ultimately I decide...<br>
<br>
1. Don't be a damn sissy, brave through the pain and take your crowbar with you. It will come in handy in the long-term even if it gives you a much needed short-term advantage. You'll need it to break through shit even if it does cause noise because right now you're stuck in a city infested with these suckers. Your leg is bleeding? Man up, its a much better alternative to getting eaten alive by rotten cannibals. If there are any zombies alerted along the way, whack them aside! Don't slow down, the farther you get from them as soon as possible the safer you'll be. Plus, these zombies so far have demonstrated limited mobility, they'll shamble slowly up the stairs and if you're lucky they might even pull each other down.</div>

You decide that you need your crowbar too much to leave it behind and make a break for the stairs, letting go of the turnstile gate and running as fast as you can go with a limp.<br>
<br>
Two zombies immediately force themselves through the turnstile gate, but the press of those behind them completely jams up the works. One zombie even gets stuck between the turnstile and gate and is slowly being crushed. As long as the zombies all continue pushing forward at once, no more will be able to get through. Good thing you decided to keep the crowbar!<br>
<br>
Seeing this you:<br>
<br>
1. Beat the crap out of the two zombies following you with your crowbar, before going up the stairs<br>
2. Flee up the stairs as fast as you can go on your bum leg</div>

<br>
You decide that you need your crowbar too much to leave it behind and make a break for the stairs, letting go of the turnstile gate and running as fast as you can go with a limp.<br>
<br>
Two zombies immediately force themselves through the turnstile gate, but the press of those behind them completely jams up the works. One zombie even gets stuck between the turnstile and gate and is slowly being crushed. As long as the zombies all continue pushing forward at once, no more will be able to get through. Good thing you decided to keep the crowbar!<br>
<br>
Seeing this you:<br>
<br>
1. Beat the crap out of the two zombies following you with your crowbar, before going up the stairs<br>
2. Flee up the stairs as fast as you can go on your bum leg

2. Two won't make much of a difference when there are <i>hundreds</i> of them following you! Get away now.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">(Choice 2 has been chosen with 1 vote! Although I do have to say, the other zombies are being held back by the jammed turnstiles... But eh, to each his own...)<br>
<br>
You flee up stairs with the two zombies climbing sluggishly up after you. Normally, you could easily outrun the staggering zombies, but the injury in your leg and loss of blood has slowed you down noticeably; and right now, you’re only just keeping ahead of them. The throng of angry zombies meanwhile, still tries to push through the gate after you, but is unable to pass. They glare at you with frustrated moans and snarls, flattening the trapped zombie in the process.<br>
<br>
Clambering up to the subway’s main corridor, you see the wide concrete and tile entryway into the subway itself; and you can actually see the exit to your left, beyond a bank of narrow token-operated turnstiles. Unfortunately, a huge mass of zombies crowd the area – both in front of the turnstiles and on the other side, where the tunnel itself simply opens without walls to the outside. You stifle a gag, as the smell of blood and death is overpowering here. Looking at the floor of the main corridor, you shudder to see hundreds of ripped open and dismembered bodies lying in sticky footprint-tracked pools of maggot and fly infested blood. You force yourself to ignore the nauseating massacre and take in the more pertinent details of the scene.<br>
<br>
Directly across from the stairway you just came up is another stairway headed back down. The sign over the stairs reads: “North Platform.” You know that this is the stairway that leads back down to the other end of the platform you just escaped. It’s a good thing zombies are stupid – or they could just turn from the turnstile gate you blocked and come right up those stairs unimpeded.<br>
<br>
To your right, the subway’s main corridor goes another hundred or so feet and ends at another set of opposing stairs, where a much smaller group of ten or twelve zombies mill about. The signs above these stairways read: “South Platform” and “Exit Only” respectively. You know they would take you down to the subway’s southbound platform – no doubt just as zombie infested as the north platform was.<br>
<br>
Between you and that far end of the corridor – about fifty feet away – are three sets of doors. The first door is on the opposite side of the tunnel from you and is a security door broken off the top hinges. It hangs open at an odd angle and looks bent out slightly, as if it had been forced open recently. It has a pushpin key lock in it, but doesn’t look like it can be closed anymore, and has the words: “Transit Authority: Subway Personnel Only” is written on its face.<br>
<br>
The second door is on your side of the tunnel, just a little further down from the first. It is also a security door, closed and locked with a pushpin key lock, and reads: “Security Office” on the front. Next to the door itself is a huge smashed out window – creating a six foot wide, four foot high, opening into the security area beyond. The bloody body of a security guard hangs out of the window frame, the back half of his head apparently blown out from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Below the window frame is a scattering of broken glass and a bloody pile of corpses – some you note with huge holes in their heads as well. You also think you can see the pistol the guard must have used to blow his brains out, lying in the gore.<br>
<br>
The final set of doors, about thirty feet further down the tunnel from the security office, are the doors to the men and women’s restrooms.<br>
<br>
And don’t forget the two zombies coming up the stairs right behind you…<br>
<br>
Given the circumstances, you have to rule out the exit. There is no way you’re going to be able to get through all those zombies. They would tear you apart, like all the other unfortunates that now litter the floor.<br>
<br>
There is also no point in going back down to either subway platform. That would be suicide.<br>
<br>
You really don’t have to go to the bathroom all that bad; so there’s no point getting trapped in a restroom. Besides, you can think of a lot more pleasant places to be killed by zombies anyway.<br>
<br>
That leaves the broken transit authority door or the security office door (with the pistol).<br>
<br>
Given the distance between both groups of zombies and the doors, you estimate that you can easily get to either door before the zombies can get to you – even if they spot you – but the two zombies behind you are going to be right there behind you the whole way.<br>
<br>
1. Run for the broken transit authority door<br>
2. Run to the security door (and get the pistol)</div>

			(Choice 2 has been chosen with 1 vote! Although I do have to say, the other zombies are being held back by the jammed turnstiles... But eh, to each his own...)<br>
<br>
You flee up stairs with the two zombies climbing sluggishly up after you. Normally, you could easily outrun the staggering zombies, but the injury in your leg and loss of blood has slowed you down noticeably; and right now, you’re only just keeping ahead of them. The throng of angry zombies meanwhile, still tries to push through the gate after you, but is unable to pass. They glare at you with frustrated moans and snarls, flattening the trapped zombie in the process.<br>
<br>
Clambering up to the subway’s main corridor, you see the wide concrete and tile entryway into the subway itself; and you can actually see the exit to your left, beyond a bank of narrow token-operated turnstiles. Unfortunately, a huge mass of zombies crowd the area – both in front of the turnstiles and on the other side, where the tunnel itself simply opens without walls to the outside. You stifle a gag, as the smell of blood and death is overpowering here. Looking at the floor of the main corridor, you shudder to see hundreds of ripped open and dismembered bodies lying in sticky footprint-tracked pools of maggot and fly infested blood. You force yourself to ignore the nauseating massacre and take in the more pertinent details of the scene.<br>
<br>
Directly across from the stairway you just came up is another stairway headed back down. The sign over the stairs reads: “North Platform.” You know that this is the stairway that leads back down to the other end of the platform you just escaped. It’s a good thing zombies are stupid – or they could just turn from the turnstile gate you blocked and come right up those stairs unimpeded.<br>
<br>
To your right, the subway’s main corridor goes another hundred or so feet and ends at another set of opposing stairs, where a much smaller group of ten or twelve zombies mill about. The signs above these stairways read: “South Platform” and “Exit Only” respectively. You know they would take you down to the subway’s southbound platform – no doubt just as zombie infested as the north platform was.<br>
<br>
Between you and that far end of the corridor – about fifty feet away – are three sets of doors. The first door is on the opposite side of the tunnel from you and is a security door broken off the top hinges. It hangs open at an odd angle and looks bent out slightly, as if it had been forced open recently. It has a pushpin key lock in it, but doesn’t look like it can be closed anymore, and has the words: “Transit Authority: Subway Personnel Only” is written on its face.<br>
<br>
The second door is on your side of the tunnel, just a little further down from the first. It is also a security door, closed and locked with a pushpin key lock, and reads: “Security Office” on the front. Next to the door itself is a huge smashed out window – creating a six foot wide, four foot high, opening into the security area beyond. The bloody body of a security guard hangs out of the window frame, the back half of his head apparently blown out from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Below the window frame is a scattering of broken glass and a bloody pile of corpses – some you note with huge holes in their heads as well. You also think you can see the pistol the guard must have used to blow his brains out, lying in the gore.<br>
<br>
The final set of doors, about thirty feet further down the tunnel from the security office, are the doors to the men and women’s restrooms.<br>
<br>
And don’t forget the two zombies coming up the stairs right behind you…<br>
<br>
Given the circumstances, you have to rule out the exit. There is no way you’re going to be able to get through all those zombies. They would tear you apart, like all the other unfortunates that now litter the floor.<br>
<br>
There is also no point in going back down to either subway platform. That would be suicide.<br>
<br>
You really don’t have to go to the bathroom all that bad; so there’s no point getting trapped in a restroom. Besides, you can think of a lot more pleasant places to be killed by zombies anyway.<br>
<br>
That leaves the broken transit authority door or the security office door (with the pistol).<br>
<br>
Given the distance between both groups of zombies and the doors, you estimate that you can easily get to either door before the zombies can get to you – even if they spot you – but the two zombies behind you are going to be right there behind you the whole way.<br>
<br>
1. Run for the broken transit authority door<br>
2. Run to the security door (and get the pistol)

You sprint across the main corridor for the broken transit authority door, hoping to get far enough ahead of the zombies that it won’t matter that they see you – which unfortunately, they all do. With a loud clamor of wails and wheezing snarls, the massive hoard of walking dead jammed up at the at the turnstiles, notices your movement and falls forward toward you in a sudden jerky run. Damn; these ones are moving much faster than you expected!<br>
<br>
Looking toward the smaller group of ten to twelve zombies at the other end of the corridor, you see that they too have all seen you and are now coming at you as well – lumbering forward with a clumsy gait.<br>
<br>
You rush through the broken transit authority door and see that you are in a short hallway, leading from the broken door about thirty feet to a set of private restrooms (men and women’s) at the far end. Another corridor joins the hallway about halfway down its length on the left.<br>
<br>
With the horde of ravenous zombies just moments behind, you move quickly to the corridor leading off the hallway and look down it to see a long corridor lit by emergency lighting. A number of office doors, some open and some closed, line each side – while what’s left of two mangled corpses litter the hallway in a splattering of gore. As you look, you see a zombie stumble out of one of the office doors to wander aimlessly down the hall away from you.<br>
<br>
At the far end of the corridor, beyond the lone zombie with its back to you, you can also see another security door, this one intact, but also shut and secured with a pushpin key lock.<br>
<br>
Great; you’re about to be sandwiched between the zombie ahead and the coming horde from behind – you’d better decide what to do fast…<br>
<br>
1. Take out the lone zombie with your crowbar, allowing a few moments access to the security door before the other two zombies show up behind you<br>
2. Step into an office off the corridor to hide from the zombies while searching for an exit<br>
3. Sneak to the end of the short hallway into a restroom and lock yourself in until the zombies wander from the area</div>

Jesus fucking Christ this is a disaster!<br>
<br>
Even if I manage to beat the zombie to a pulp, a few moments on the security door wouldn't cut it. You'd need like a few hours or even a few days to get through the damn door so your time will be up before you know it. If there are a few people behind the door, they probably wouldn't answer your cries for help since everybody there knows that there are <b>THOUSANDS OF ZOMBIES OUTSIDE</b>. So option 1 is out of the question.<br>
<br>
As for option 2, there will probably be a few random zombies that will turn any person walking through into a human happy meal, but the area's much wider and you can run around for a bit before they swarm you. Even if there are no exits around the office there might be a window, so if you're super desperate, you smash the window open with your crowbar and jump through. Sure, you'll need some stitches for those shards of glass mauling you but you'll still buy yourself some more time before you get help.<br>
<br>
Going into a restroom in the middle of a zombie apocalypse? Dear god knows how many people were taking a piss or a shit before suddenly being reanimated as a zombie. It's a goddamned death trap! There will be zombies in the room and the bathroom doors leading to the toilet will be weak, so they might even storm through the door if you think it'll protect you. And even if the bathroom door does hold and the zombies lose interest, you're already bleeding like a pig on your heel and the bathroom is no place where you can find first aid. Even if you're suffering like hell, its best to keep going until you find other survivors or find some survival equipment or die trying. There's no way you can give up now.<br>
<br>
2. Ultimately, I think option 2 is the most viable one.</div>

<br>
You quickly step into an office in the corridor to hide from the zombies while searching for an exit. Shutting the door quietly behind you, you hear the zombies pouring into the area on the other side, snarling and wailing as they search after for you. It’s not even a moment later that they start scratching and pushing at the office door.<br>
<br>
You lean against the door to keep it shut, looking desperately into the room. It’s just an ordinary business office with no other exits. Damn; your luck sucks!<br>
<br>
You consider whether you would have enough time to push a desk in front of the door to barricade yourself in – when suddenly a clawed zombie arm crashes through the door next to your face. The zombies are actually tearing their way into the room! Then a set of arms crashes through on either side of your waist to wrap around you.<br>
<br>
You lean forward in an attempt to pull free, but the flimsy office door gives way completely at that point, and you are pulled backward through it, and into the hands of the waiting horde. It’s only a matter of seconds before you’re torn to shreds by the flesh-starved monsters.<br>
<br>
A moment later and you’re standing near your own remains in some sort of surreal out-of-body experience, looking at the blood splattered walls of the corridor and watching the zombies spread your entrails out amongst themselves. Looking back into the office you were just pulled out of, you see that strange black shadowy shape from your unconscious dreams lurking nearby. You wonder what it is and what it wants with you, but that is another story…<br>

<br>
<u><b>Here’s a rundown of how you did –</b></u><br>
<br>
You Killed 4 Zombies<br>
<br>
You Killed 0 ???<br>
<br>
You Killed 0 ???<br>
<br>
You Killed 0 ???<br>
<br>
You Killed 0 ??? <br>
<br>
You Killed 0 ??? <br>
<br>
You Killed 0 ???<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
You Killed 0 People<br>
<br>
You Saved 0 People (including yourself, unless you died)<br>
<br>
You have died overall: 1 time<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
You were eaten by 213 Zombies<br>
<br>
<br>
(Looks like you hit a dead end... Literally! But does that mean your story is over? No! Because I am kind enough to want to see you guys complete this! Besides ending the fun here wouldn't be fun! So here is a note that whenever you die you will simply get a game over type thing with some stats and showing how many times you have died overall. Also, the choice that killed you will have a note that says 'This choice killed you earlier'... So with that I think its time for a RESTART! Also, what's up with this mysterious figure? That's something for you to find out as you continue!)<br>
<br>
You sprint across the main corridor for the broken transit authority door, hoping to get far enough ahead of the zombies that it won’t matter that they see you – which unfortunately, they all do. With a loud clamor of wails and wheezing snarls, the massive hoard of walking dead jammed up at the at the turnstiles, notices your movement and falls forward toward you in a sudden jerky run. Damn; these ones are moving much faster than you expected!<br>
<br>
Looking toward the smaller group of ten to twelve zombies at the other end of the corridor, you see that they too have all seen you and are now coming at you as well – lumbering forward with a clumsy gait.<br>
<br>
You rush through the broken transit authority door and see that you are in a short hallway, leading from the broken door about thirty feet to a set of private restrooms (men and women’s) at the far end. Another corridor joins the hallway about halfway down its length on the left.<br>
<br>
With the horde of ravenous zombies just moments behind, you move quickly to the corridor leading off the hallway and look down it to see a long corridor lit by emergency lighting. A number of office doors, some open and some closed, line each side – while what’s left of two mangled corpses litter the hallway in a splattering of gore. As you look, you see a zombie stumble out of one of the office doors to wander aimlessly down the hall away from you.<br>
<br>
At the far end of the corridor, beyond the lone zombie with its back to you, you can also see another security door, this one intact, but also shut and secured with a pushpin key lock.<br>
<br>
Great; you’re about to be sandwiched between the zombie ahead and the coming horde from behind – you’d better decide what to do fast…<br>
<br>
1. Take out the lone zombie with your crowbar, allowing a few moments access to the security door before the other two zombies show up behind you<br>
2. Step into an office off the corridor to hide from the zombies while searching for an exit (This choice killed you last time)<br>
3. Sneak to the end of the short hallway into a restroom and lock yourself in until the zombies wander from the area</div>

</blockquote>Err, in some cases yes and in some cases no. That's about as easy I can explain it without getting too complicated. When you make an initial choice that is determined by luck, but once that happens its like the thing of luck sets you in stone with what result you would get, like for example since you tried hiding in an office, a dice roll decided that you were screwed, and as a result picking that would lead to the same result. A dead end.<br>
<br>
However, some choices are already preset by me to have a certain result occur.</div>

Good thing to know. Heh, and I decided to pick Option 1 in the end because Option 3 would probably end up with the same result only that you'd die being eaten next to a toilet.</div>

You sprint right up the corridor, toward the lone zombie near the closed security door. As you come up from behind, the zombie turns to see what the commotion is and catches your heavy crowbar right across the eyes. You hit it so hard – and with the momentum of your run – that the entire front of its face folds in and both eyeballs pop right out of its head. The thing topples over in a crimson spray – and does not get back up. Looking back down the corridor behind you, you don’t yet see the following zombies, but can hear them drawing closer. You might have ten seconds – if you’re lucky.<br>

Quickly looking at the pushpin key lock securing the door, you see that it has nine pins (zero through nine) and a turning knob. Having worked with these before, in some of the secured areas of the Summit Tower, you know that you punch in a four digit combination and then turn the knob to open the door.<br>
<br>
Examining the pushpins themselves, you note that the ‘1’, ‘2’, and ‘9’ pins seem a bit more worn than the rest; and that the ‘9’ pin looks the most worn of all. If the wear indicates the pins used in the combination, then you’re looking at a combination using a ‘1’, ‘2’, and two ‘9’s. Being an accountant, you quickly do the math in your head – leaving you with only twelve combinations.<br>

You sprint right up the corridor, toward the lone zombie near the closed security door. As you come up from behind, the zombie turns to see what the commotion is and catches your heavy crowbar right across the eyes. You hit it so hard – and with the momentum of your run – that the entire front of its face folds in and both eyeballs pop right out of its head. The thing topples over in a crimson spray – and does not get back up. Looking back down the corridor behind you, you don’t yet see the following zombies, but can hear them drawing closer. You might have ten seconds – if you’re lucky.<br>
<br>
Quickly looking at the pushpin key lock securing the door, you see that it has nine pins (zero through nine) and a turning knob. Having worked with these before, in some of the secured areas of the Summit Tower, you know that you punch in a four digit combination and then turn the knob to open the door.<br>
<br>
Examining the pushpins themselves, you note that the ‘1’, ‘2’, and ‘9’ pins seem a bit more worn than the rest; and that the ‘9’ pin looks the most worn of all. If the wear indicates the pins used in the combination, then you’re looking at a combination using a ‘1’, ‘2’, and two ‘9’s. Being an accountant, you quickly do the math in your head – leaving you with only twelve combinations.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">(Technically none of those were right, but we are just going to skip any death stats this time and whatnot since not much changed. Also, we are going to simply move forward as if you got it right since 10 was the right one 9291, so moving forward now!)<br>
<br>
With no time to spare, you open the security door and slip inside, shutting it behind – just as the zombies enter the corridor and howl ravenously in your direction. You can see them through the narrow wired-reinforced window in the door, as they stumble quickly to the security door and start pounding against it. You’re pretty sure the steel security door will hold, so you ignore the zombies and take a look around.<br>
<br>
You are on a landing at the top of a flight of stairs that drop down sixty feet into a dimly lit area below. In the ceiling above, you note a two and a half by four-foot metal access panel of some sort bolted shut. You ready yourself and head cautiously down the stairs, not wanting to get surprised by anything if you can help it. The stairwell itself is dark, the emergency lighting here beginning to wane. Using your flashlight, you make sure nothing is lurking in the shadows.<br>
<br>
At the bottom, the stairwell opens into what you assume is the space between the north and southbound subway tunnels. A red door, like you saw from the tracks, is set in each of the side walls. The one on your left has “North Tunnel” written on it, while the one on the right reads: “South Tunnel”. You can guess that the north and south subway stations platforms are on the other side of those doors – and the south station probably just as zombie infested as the North station is.<br>
<br>
Also in the area is a large collection of unknown machinery and a giant spool of old-fashion canvas fire hose. You don’t see anywhere to hook the hose up to (and it’s far too brittle to use anymore), but you do notice a fire ax on a wall not too far from you next to a large fire extinguisher.<br>
<br>
Taking some time to search the area, you find some items of potential use. The first thing is a number of lengths of iron piping. You take two pieces and are able to thread them through the handles on both of the red doors to crudely bar them from the inside. Now you have a secure area free of zombies to catch your breath in.<br>
<br>
The next thing you find is a working deep sink along one wall. You know that the water in the lines can become contaminated in a citywide disaster, but you figure the water this far down is probably still safe. You take the risk and gulp down the rusty tasting water until you’re filled. Then after splashing some on your face to invigorate yourself a bit, you find a hundred foot coil of three-quarter inch hemp rope on a pile of old tarps.<br>
<br>
The rope is a little heavy, but you find that you can easily carry the coil across your shoulder and decide that it will be worth having. Most of the tarps are too big and brittle from age to be of use, but you do find a smaller, eight by ten foot, plastic tarp under the pile in good condition and are able to fold it up small enough to take with you. You also find a relatively clean section of canvas tarp and tear some strips out of it to use as bandages for your wounds. You consider cleaning your head wound in the sink, but figure the dried mat of blood is probably the only thing keeping you from bleeding to death and decide to leave it alone, except to wrap it a little more with a strip of canvas.<br>
<br>
Finally, you discover an old vintage Pepsi machine in the corner. It looks like something out of the seventies and has no soda in it, but you do find three empty Pepsi bottles on the floor nearby – the old kind with extra thick glass. Taking the bottles, you fill them with water and cork them with balled up strips of tarping.<br>
<br>
Looking at the heavy fire extinguisher you’ve been lugging around (and all the rest of the gear you want to carry), you decide that it really isn’t worth lugging and leave it. You also take a moment to weigh the option of carrying the crowbar you have versus the fire ax. Both are useful but heavy, and you don’t want to get loaded down with too much – as you’re already fatigued and want to be able to move fast when you have to. The crowbar offers a little more utility than the fire ax but has less reach. You’re pretty sure, however, that as a weapon the fire ax will do more damage, but you can also envision it getting stuck in some zombie’s skull if you’re not careful.<br>
<br>
As you ponder, you begin to realize just how exhausted you really are. Your muscles all feel tight and you’re incredibly weak and tired – like your wounds and all this exertion are finally hitting you all at once. You can literally feel your mind and body shutting down as you sit there. You start yourself awake, knowing that falling asleep now, with a major head wound and all this blood loss, still poses the risk of going into a coma or even dying in your sleep. But then you don’t seem to have a choice…<br>
<br>
As you start to drift off into unconsciousness, you notice that your recent zombie scratch is now burning with an odd tingling sensation.<br>
<br>
You begin to wonder if this is the zombie contagion at work – are you really going to die and rise a brain-eating eating monster and was scratching a viable option for turning as well? Or were you just going crazy thinking about it?<br>
<br>
Yuck. You never did like the thought of eating brains, or livers, or that other disgusting stuff people eat sometimes. Hell, you can’t even swallow sushi without gaging.<br>
<br>
Yeah, you’ll make a real classy zombie, you think sarcastically to yourself, gagging on other peoples’ brains.<br>
<br>
Sitting there in your thoughts, you slowly drift off to sleep. The next thing you know, you’re waking with a start from unconsciousness. You feel feverish, while the pain of your head wound and the tightness of your muscles is lost in the burning sensation that has slowly spread out from where you were scratched by the zombie begins to fill your whole body.<br>
<br>
You lull in semi-consciousness and your mind reels, jumping chaotically between the horrifying scenes of slaughter witnessed this day and half memories of your family, that feign to come back but then evaporate just before your mind can latch onto them.<br>
<br>
You then realize that the burning tightness in all your muscles has progressed to complete paralysis – you can’t even move your fingers or close your eyes. You lay there completely rigid, unable to move, until even your vision blurs.<br>
<br>
You’re not sure how long you lay there, drifting in and out of awareness, until you suddenly notice you can see clearly again and blink. You also hear what you think is the beeping of a morning alarm coming from somewhere. Then, all at once, every muscle of your body suddenly releases, and you find yourself drenched in sweat. Your fever is gone and you no longer feel a burning throughout your body or even where you were scratched by that zombie. Now you’re just in good old fashioned pain.<br>
<br>
You look at your watch and see that it’s 6:00am – the time you normally get up in the morning to get ready for work. You then realize the alarm on your watch is beeping and you quickly turn it off. Getting up, you are groggy and ache all over, especially your wounds. They actually hurt more now than they did yesterday. You wonder if that has something to do with running on adrenalin and panic last night.<br>
<br>
Looking yourself over, you appear normal – not the walking dead like you expected. You quickly do some math in your head. No problem. You’re pretty sure zombies don’t do math. Small blessing.<br>
<br>
You then find yourself thinking about your wife Laura and two daughters, ten year old Jessica and seven year old Kate. That is when you realize that your memory is starting to return. You suddenly remember everything about your life up to a week ago last Thursday. For whatever reason, you’re still missing the last little bit.<br>
<br>
<b>Who are you anyway?</b><br>
<br>
You are Greg Bradley. You live in the suburbs with your wife, girls, and one cat; and work in the city as an accountant for the Morgan Corporation – an advertising firm. Monday through Friday you catch a commuter train in the suburbs to Fairmont Station in the city, where you hop on the Green Subway Line to the Summit Tower Station. Your commute takes about forty-five minutes. On weekends you like to just be with your family, but do go mountain-biking a couple of times a year with friends you’ve had since college. You and your wife used to go camping quite frequently, but that sort of dropped off after your first daughter was born. Your life is nothing special, but for a moment you treasure each memory – having until just recently had none to treasure at all.<br>
<br>
You were an only child of parents who divorced when you were young. You went with your mother at that time; who is still alive, but now lives in a New England nursing home with Alzheimer’s. Your father was an alcoholic and died of liver failure. Your wife’s parents are both still alive, still married, and live in sunny Arizona. They fly you and the family out to their ranch every Christmas, along with the rest of their own family. Your wife has many brothers and sisters, but you really don’t interact with them very much (except over the holiday) and don’t even know all of their names. And that has nothing to do with you losing your memory; you just never cared enough to make the effort.<br>
<br>
Yes, it has all come back except for a missing week. The last thing you remember before waking up in the subway tunnel was leaving your office on Thursday to get on the elevator on the 24th floor of the Summit Tower. You take the keys out of your pocket and look at your elevator key – the one marked ‘ST 24’. It’s for the express elevator that goes straight to the Morgan Corporation offices.<br>
<br>
You then think about your situation. You were a boy-scout and have some basic survival skills, including being able to handle firearms – or at least you know how to shoot skeet with a shotgun. How much different can blasting zombies in the head be? Now if you could only get your hands on one (the shotgun, not the zombie, you smirk to yourself)…<br>
<br>
You also worry greatly for your family. Your wife would be home – hopefully barricaded in, while your girls would have been on the bus to school at the time. Damn! You hope they at least made it to the school, knowing that in such an emergency the school would initiate a lockdown. Maybe they are safe inside waiting for help. You hope so.<br>
<br>
Gathering your gear, you think about your options. You can try to escape out of a red door and continue up or down the subway tunnels, knowing they are all full of zombies – or you can go back up to the top of the stairwell and see if you can pry open that metal access panel in the ceiling; who knows what’ll be behind it…<br>
<br>
But first, you need to choose to keep the crowbar or take the fire ax:<br>
<br>
1. Keep the crowbar<br>
2. Take the fire ax</div>

			(Technically none of those were right, but we are just going to skip any death stats this time and whatnot since not much changed. Also, we are going to simply move forward as if you got it right since 10 was the right one 9291, so moving forward now!)<br>
<br>
With no time to spare, you open the security door and slip inside, shutting it behind – just as the zombies enter the corridor and howl ravenously in your direction. You can see them through the narrow wired-reinforced window in the door, as they stumble quickly to the security door and start pounding against it. You’re pretty sure the steel security door will hold, so you ignore the zombies and take a look around.<br>
<br>
You are on a landing at the top of a flight of stairs that drop down sixty feet into a dimly lit area below. In the ceiling above, you note a two and a half by four-foot metal access panel of some sort bolted shut. You ready yourself and head cautiously down the stairs, not wanting to get surprised by anything if you can help it. The stairwell itself is dark, the emergency lighting here beginning to wane. Using your flashlight, you make sure nothing is lurking in the shadows.<br>
<br>
At the bottom, the stairwell opens into what you assume is the space between the north and southbound subway tunnels. A red door, like you saw from the tracks, is set in each of the side walls. The one on your left has “North Tunnel” written on it, while the one on the right reads: “South Tunnel”. You can guess that the north and south subway stations platforms are on the other side of those doors – and the south station probably just as zombie infested as the North station is.<br>
<br>
Also in the area is a large collection of unknown machinery and a giant spool of old-fashion canvas fire hose. You don’t see anywhere to hook the hose up to (and it’s far too brittle to use anymore), but you do notice a fire ax on a wall not too far from you next to a large fire extinguisher.<br>
<br>
Taking some time to search the area, you find some items of potential use. The first thing is a number of lengths of iron piping. You take two pieces and are able to thread them through the handles on both of the red doors to crudely bar them from the inside. Now you have a secure area free of zombies to catch your breath in.<br>
<br>
The next thing you find is a working deep sink along one wall. You know that the water in the lines can become contaminated in a citywide disaster, but you figure the water this far down is probably still safe. You take the risk and gulp down the rusty tasting water until you’re filled. Then after splashing some on your face to invigorate yourself a bit, you find a hundred foot coil of three-quarter inch hemp rope on a pile of old tarps.<br>
<br>
The rope is a little heavy, but you find that you can easily carry the coil across your shoulder and decide that it will be worth having. Most of the tarps are too big and brittle from age to be of use, but you do find a smaller, eight by ten foot, plastic tarp under the pile in good condition and are able to fold it up small enough to take with you. You also find a relatively clean section of canvas tarp and tear some strips out of it to use as bandages for your wounds. You consider cleaning your head wound in the sink, but figure the dried mat of blood is probably the only thing keeping you from bleeding to death and decide to leave it alone, except to wrap it a little more with a strip of canvas.<br>
<br>
Finally, you discover an old vintage Pepsi machine in the corner. It looks like something out of the seventies and has no soda in it, but you do find three empty Pepsi bottles on the floor nearby – the old kind with extra thick glass. Taking the bottles, you fill them with water and cork them with balled up strips of tarping.<br>
<br>
Looking at the heavy fire extinguisher you’ve been lugging around (and all the rest of the gear you want to carry), you decide that it really isn’t worth lugging and leave it. You also take a moment to weigh the option of carrying the crowbar you have versus the fire ax. Both are useful but heavy, and you don’t want to get loaded down with too much – as you’re already fatigued and want to be able to move fast when you have to. The crowbar offers a little more utility than the fire ax but has less reach. You’re pretty sure, however, that as a weapon the fire ax will do more damage, but you can also envision it getting stuck in some zombie’s skull if you’re not careful.<br>
<br>
As you ponder, you begin to realize just how exhausted you really are. Your muscles all feel tight and you’re incredibly weak and tired – like your wounds and all this exertion are finally hitting you all at once. You can literally feel your mind and body shutting down as you sit there. You start yourself awake, knowing that falling asleep now, with a major head wound and all this blood loss, still poses the risk of going into a coma or even dying in your sleep. But then you don’t seem to have a choice…<br>
<br>
As you start to drift off into unconsciousness, you notice that your recent zombie scratch is now burning with an odd tingling sensation.<br>
<br>
You begin to wonder if this is the zombie contagion at work – are you really going to die and rise a brain-eating eating monster and was scratching a viable option for turning as well? Or were you just going crazy thinking about it?<br>
<br>
Yuck. You never did like the thought of eating brains, or livers, or that other disgusting stuff people eat sometimes. Hell, you can’t even swallow sushi without gaging.<br>
<br>
Yeah, you’ll make a real classy zombie, you think sarcastically to yourself, gagging on other peoples’ brains.<br>
<br>
Sitting there in your thoughts, you slowly drift off to sleep. The next thing you know, you’re waking with a start from unconsciousness. You feel feverish, while the pain of your head wound and the tightness of your muscles is lost in the burning sensation that has slowly spread out from where you were scratched by the zombie begins to fill your whole body.<br>
<br>
You lull in semi-consciousness and your mind reels, jumping chaotically between the horrifying scenes of slaughter witnessed this day and half memories of your family, that feign to come back but then evaporate just before your mind can latch onto them.<br>
<br>
You then realize that the burning tightness in all your muscles has progressed to complete paralysis – you can’t even move your fingers or close your eyes. You lay there completely rigid, unable to move, until even your vision blurs.<br>
<br>
You’re not sure how long you lay there, drifting in and out of awareness, until you suddenly notice you can see clearly again and blink. You also hear what you think is the beeping of a morning alarm coming from somewhere. Then, all at once, every muscle of your body suddenly releases, and you find yourself drenched in sweat. Your fever is gone and you no longer feel a burning throughout your body or even where you were scratched by that zombie. Now you’re just in good old fashioned pain.<br>
<br>
You look at your watch and see that it’s 6:00am – the time you normally get up in the morning to get ready for work. You then realize the alarm on your watch is beeping and you quickly turn it off. Getting up, you are groggy and ache all over, especially your wounds. They actually hurt more now than they did yesterday. You wonder if that has something to do with running on adrenalin and panic last night.<br>
<br>
Looking yourself over, you appear normal – not the walking dead like you expected. You quickly do some math in your head. No problem. You’re pretty sure zombies don’t do math. Small blessing.<br>
<br>
You then find yourself thinking about your wife Laura and two daughters, ten year old Jessica and seven year old Kate. That is when you realize that your memory is starting to return. You suddenly remember everything about your life up to a week ago last Thursday. For whatever reason, you’re still missing the last little bit.<br>
<br>
<b>Who are you anyway?</b><br>
<br>
You are Greg Bradley. You live in the suburbs with your wife, girls, and one cat; and work in the city as an accountant for the Morgan Corporation – an advertising firm. Monday through Friday you catch a commuter train in the suburbs to Fairmont Station in the city, where you hop on the Green Subway Line to the Summit Tower Station. Your commute takes about forty-five minutes. On weekends you like to just be with your family, but do go mountain-biking a couple of times a year with friends you’ve had since college. You and your wife used to go camping quite frequently, but that sort of dropped off after your first daughter was born. Your life is nothing special, but for a moment you treasure each memory – having until just recently had none to treasure at all.<br>
<br>
You were an only child of parents who divorced when you were young. You went with your mother at that time; who is still alive, but now lives in a New England nursing home with Alzheimer’s. Your father was an alcoholic and died of liver failure. Your wife’s parents are both still alive, still married, and live in sunny Arizona. They fly you and the family out to their ranch every Christmas, along with the rest of their own family. Your wife has many brothers and sisters, but you really don’t interact with them very much (except over the holiday) and don’t even know all of their names. And that has nothing to do with you losing your memory; you just never cared enough to make the effort.<br>
<br>
Yes, it has all come back except for a missing week. The last thing you remember before waking up in the subway tunnel was leaving your office on Thursday to get on the elevator on the 24th floor of the Summit Tower. You take the keys out of your pocket and look at your elevator key – the one marked ‘ST 24’. It’s for the express elevator that goes straight to the Morgan Corporation offices.<br>
<br>
You then think about your situation. You were a boy-scout and have some basic survival skills, including being able to handle firearms – or at least you know how to shoot skeet with a shotgun. How much different can blasting zombies in the head be? Now if you could only get your hands on one (the shotgun, not the zombie, you smirk to yourself)…<br>
<br>
You also worry greatly for your family. Your wife would be home – hopefully barricaded in, while your girls would have been on the bus to school at the time. Damn! You hope they at least made it to the school, knowing that in such an emergency the school would initiate a lockdown. Maybe they are safe inside waiting for help. You hope so.<br>
<br>
Gathering your gear, you think about your options. You can try to escape out of a red door and continue up or down the subway tunnels, knowing they are all full of zombies – or you can go back up to the top of the stairwell and see if you can pry open that metal access panel in the ceiling; who knows what’ll be behind it…<br>
<br>
But first, you need to choose to keep the crowbar or take the fire ax:<br>
<br>
1. Keep the crowbar<br>
2. Take the fire ax

	</div>
</blockquote><br>
1. I hope to do a crowbar run in this roleplay, just like what Gordon Freeman did in Half Life.<br>
<br>
Note: I did not read everything just yet. I will come back and finish everything later but for now I chose option #1 since I believe that the higher you get the lesser zombies you'll encounter overall.</div>
