				Central Ohio State University is well known for its internationally renown Psychology program, connection to pharmaceutical studies and, at least today, an astonishing one-day student death toll.<br><br>Barricaded from within the campus library, you can see bodies littering the lawn of the commons out the window. It's only been a few hours since you woke up in your dorm room to the sounds of screaming and witnessed everyone going insane. The old saw about survival of the fittest being all about who can run the fastest was put to the test, and it was all you could do to bolt across campus as you watched classmates cut down all around you. <br><br>There was no rhyme or reason to it: people were just killing people, any way they could. Brandishing tree limbs, axes, trash cans, anything they could get their hands on, it seemed half the campus was out for blood while the other half were the targets. Of course, many didn't need any weapons besides their fists, feet and teeth. <br><br>The sights and sounds had been pure hell. The only thing worse than the sound of a baseball bat smashing a bone are the screams that follow it. Through your mad race across campus you only glimpsed at the atrocities happening around you, but that glimpse was more than enough to make you run faster than you ever thought possible.<br><br>Looking out the window, you see a fresh corpse pick itself off the ground and lumber away. This is the worst thing, even more unbelievable than the initial bloodbath. It's as though COSU students wanted to kill so badly they weren't going to let a little death stop the fun.<br><br>There are a handful of students in the library, and in the last hour you've spent all your time barricading doors and windows with overturned tables and bookshelves. There's been no time to think, no time to try your cell phones or radios, no time to do anything but try and survive.<br><br>This is the first moment since you woke up this morning that you've had a minute of quiet, of calm. One question blazes in your mind: what the fuck is going on?!

				Telly was having a terrible time blinking the sweat out of his eyes, which had mingled with the grease from his skin and making the sensitive organs sting. He only had enough time to get dressed and look outside to find out what all of the commotion was. At least once a week there was a fight in the dorm hallways between some guys squabbling over a girl, girls squabbling over a guy, or guys and girls squabbling together about some other guy or girl. It was always amusing to see his fellow human beings in such a state of emotional disarray, though he tried his damn best not to get involved, and it had worked so far through life.<br><br>He had never been in a fight with another guy, hadn't even raised his hands in a harmful manner off of the football field. When he was put to the test that very morning, Telly was weighed and found to be a decent brawler. At least he could offer a swell punch, one that had bought him enough time to run like hell, and eventually his pursuer lost interest in the heavy guy. Despite his size, Telly was very fast, and very agile. He was a wide receiver trapped in the body of an offensive lineman, and no matter what diet or workout plan, he just couldn't lose his girth. It must have been genetic.<br><br>Not that he was ugly, of course. Telly had even taken the time to wash his face and brush his hair that morning, which had almost cost him precious time in finding safety. His mop of short, curly black hair was as reminiscent of the Greeks as his name, which he never told anybody. Aristotelis. What the fuck where his parents thinking?<br><br>He patrolled the library now with a heavy book, some dictionary or thesaurus. He wasn't quite in a reading mood at the moment, to properly discern which it was. It was the only suitable weapon at his disposal, though some of the others wielded more practical bludgeons than he.

				For the most part Anya Kunze, one of COSU's resident bitchy blonde bimbos still had very little idea has to what exactly was going on.&nbsp; First and foremost in her mind though...why was she in the <em>library</em> of all places?&nbsp; She rolled her bright blue eyes as she strolled though the hallways in her pastel pink flimsy, ruffled baby-doll sundress and platform pumps.&nbsp; Last night there was a party...clearly she's still dressed for that, her hair is done...ect, ect...<br><br>Her thought's are interrupted when she glanced out the window and views the carnage.&nbsp; While she is certainly a bit concerned, Anya hasn't devolved to being outright terrified yet because she is still extremely unclear as to what exactly is going on!&nbsp; She slaps herself in the forehead and shuts her eyes tight, trying to think...as usual...no results.&nbsp; Why was she in the library?!

				For Alice the mad-times began a little before those of most of the campus, scattered reports of killings began to filter into the security station, without even thinking of herself Alice drove onto campus grounds and moved into a dorm with her partner. At first.. the blood and gore had her dry-heaving, suddenly glad she didn't have eggs and bacon that morning, there was nothing but bits of hair and pools of blood, but no bodies. Their bodies had somehow been removed.<br><br>She still remembered turning around to see Jason, her partner squatting down besides a pool of blood with a necklace in it, seeing the half-dressed college girl drag herself out of her and then fall down on top of Jason, without any sort of care in the world sinking her teeth into his neck, tearing out a big chunk of it. Jason dropped as he quickly bled out, the girl more then happy to gnaw on his neck.<br><br>Alice dashed out of there, did.. that just really happen, she thought, sitting inside of her car, breathing in deeply for a moment as a student smashed against the passenger side window, "Help me, HELP!", he yelped, without thinking Alice jerked the door open and he slipped in. The man was more then likely the geeky kind, covered in blood though he was wielding a large mace. Shuddering deeply, "Not real.. not real.. not real", he muttered like a mantra.<br><br>She had almost dragged him into the library after she had seen that was where a few of the faculty and students were going, right now he was still sitting in the corner, rocking to himself while Alice looked outside through the window. "This isn't good", she muttered, trying her radio for the fifteenth time but only being answered by static. "Damn it!", she said loudly, before turning to the students, they all knew her as a hard-lining bitch, not one to cross but. Right now, they couldn't have a better shot amongst them. She slipped the radio back in before turning to the gathered students, "..Has anyone.. killed one of.. these..", she gulped, "people?", she asked, staring at them. If they had.. maybe there was some way of knowing how to take them down.

				"Oh hey...you?" Anya spots the mean and ugly security guard, she could pick her out of any crowd.&nbsp; The blonde had always had problems with that one, just seeing her made her skin crawl!&nbsp; "Uhm...what's going on?&nbsp; I can't seem to find a way out of here...and uh...people are acting like...really strange outside?" she shrugged as she finished her statement...or question.&nbsp; At this point Anya began to look around the rest of the library and notice there were quite a few people in here and that by judging from the bookshelves being pushed against the doors and windows...those people had no intention of leaving anytime soon!

				"Really strange?!" a young asian guy said, staring at Anya. "Strange? Are you fucking whacked?! This is way more than strange!" The front of his shirt was coated with blood, though whether it was his or someone else's was impossible to tell.<br><br>"And what the fuck are you doing?" he screamed, pointing at Alice. "Why are you asking us questions? You're supposed to be protecting us!" The guy was clearly on edge, his eyes wide and terrified.<br><br>The double front door of the library suddenly shuddered as something outside hit it. The asian guy instantly turned toward the entrance, as did everyone else within earshot of it.<br><br>Something hit it again from outside. "Open the door!" a girl cries from the other side, pounding on the door. "Open the door!"<br><br>There are perhaps a dozen students near the front door, but none take a step toward it. Opening the door would require taking down the fairly impressive array of tables and chairs currently stacked against it.<br><br>The sound of the girl pounding on the door can be heard throughout the ground floor. "OPEN THE DOOR!" she screams, her voice shrill.

				As the other students bicker among each other, none of which he is particularly familiar with- though Telly bemused to himself that the blond would be worth getting to know- Telly went to the barricaded door, where there were other students crowding around, frightened by the terrified cries of whatever girl is demanding entrance. In a low voice, Telly said, "I'm sorry, it's...", but realizing that he barely spoke above a whisper, he coughed, clearing his throat, and began to speak again. "I'm sorry, but there's no way in, it would take 20 minutes to take this stuff down. Can you find some other entrance?"<br><br>It made Telly sick to his stomach, supplying this girl with false hope. He was almost 100% positive that every other entrance was locked or barricaded or just plain blocked by the walking dead. He shivered, just thinking about how doomed this girl was, and turned to the security woman he had seen on campus before. "Do you think... Is it safe enough to let her inside?" He knew it would only take three or so minutes if every student was dedicated to the task of removing the barricade, but this woman spoke with authority, and she would probably kick his ass if he did anything she didn't approve of.

				Alice gritted her teeth at the student that suddenly yelled at her, "Calm the fuck down! Were not going to g-", suddenly the thump against the door and the sound of the girl yelling and hollering as she pounded on the door, she gritted her teeth. She didn't want to do this but.. she had to, staring at the guy who talked to the girl on the other side she nodded. "Miss, your going to have to find somewhere else, we can't help you. Just get out of here, now. If my car is still working, the keys are in it!", she called out to the young girl.<br><br>Then turned to the students, "Alright, everyone listen up, were in this shit together, whatever is happening out there. We are all we have right now, we need to get situated, everyone I want you to arm yourself with bludgeoning weapons, table-legs, stools, whatever, anything that can give a good whack. Grab it and keep it on you, I need two people with good eyes to go with me to the roof. Maybe we can get a better view from up there, to see if this is happening just on Campus or somewhere else as well", she stared at the students, she had said all she was. Her tightly braided hair hanging loosely on her neck, her non-madeup face staring at the students, green eyes burning with intention.

				A bit taken aback by the woman's harsh tone, Telly looked to one of the library tables in sudden realization. A table leg would make a much better weapon than a book... For one, he could swing it a lot better, and it was probably going to hurt a lot more, though he couldn't be sure if those things could even feel pain. He had seen one fall down some stairs in pursuit of another student, and keep crawling on the ground with a pair of broken legs as if nothing was amiss. "Umm, I'll come to the roof," said Telly shyly, raising his hand as a volunteer. He looked forlornly back to the barricaded door, wondering if the girl out there had already left or been dragged away and... He preferred not to think about what would happen to her.<br><br>He was far-sighted, which meant he could not read a book without glasses, but from a long ways away, his vision was perfect, 20/20. With his contacts in, he really had no vision problems at all, beside the faint floaters that most people had anyways.<br><br>But before he would go on the roof, he vowed to bring a better weapon with him, and he flipped a wooden table on it's top, scattering papers and books from some forgotten student's studies. It was not a small table, but he was strong enough to make it look effortless. Telly looked around at the other refugee students, trying to find a volunteer. "Um," he began, and then spoke a bit louder for clarity's sake. "Does anyone... want to hold the table to the ground so I can break off some legs?"

				Brad liked the library.<br><br>There was a locker room in the back with a long bench for students to sit as they used the lockers. Sometimes, Brad would sneak in just before the place closed and sleep on that bench just so he could wake up in the library the next morning. He would read all night, or dream about reading, or maybe read about dreaming. Anything fit his pleasure that day.<br><br>So naturally, he didn't understand what all the hubbub was today. He was halfway through a Platonic dialog when the din reached such a level that he became just bothered enough to raise his head from the book. Through the window next to him, a man ripped another man's throat out. Then the now throatless man got back up and started walking.<br><br>Brad thought he understood.<br><br>Half an hour later, he was just as scared as every other person in the room. The difference was, he refused to let himself become part of the problem. While people ran and screamed, he took a comfortable seat and listened to people who knew more than he did, making careful mental notes of what was going on around him.<br><br><strong>"Does anyone... want to hold the table to the ground so I can break off some legs?"</strong><br><br>Brad walked over and said to the man softly, no louder than was necessary. "Yeah, here. I can hold it up, just...I dunno, try to sit on it. It'll probably break. We'll take all four off." There. That was helping.

				Alice had also joined with the two males at the nearby table, "Your names?", she asked first before smiling, "I'm Alice, I'm a guard.. but you already figured that probably, Brad.. hold the leg up and we'll stomp down on either side of it, that will hopefully put enough pressure down", Alice moved her leg, "Alright.. now, hold it", she said before letting her foot come down, smacking onto the thick 'barrier' that held the table leg attached to the table.<br><br>If it didn't break off in one go, they'd do it again. If it still wouldn't go, they'd switch to chairs, there were bound to be some steps or some, since they could head to the roof, probably, that would be a good place to smash the chairs up and use them further.

				Telly, Alice and Brad pulled a table aside to work on the leg. For a few minutes the girl at the front door had been quiet, but suddenly she began banging frantically on the door and screaming.<br><br>The students who had been listening to Alice all turned to the door, their eyes glued with horror. <br><br>"OPEN THE DOOR!" the woman screamed, and there was another sound behind that one, a gutteral screech that was becoming all too familiar.<br><br>"There's a whole shitload coming this way!" a student cried out, looking out a window. "The girl out there, she's drawing them to us!"<br><br>The girl in question stopped pounding and just started screaming until the screams suddenly stopped. Telly, Alice and Brad, standing near the front door, can hear growls and thudding as the girl meets her end. A low moaning can also be heard as though coming from many throats.<br><br>"I'll go to the roof," the asian guy said in a hoarse whisper. Whatever anger he had harbored seemed to have been sucked out of him as he stared at the door with a pale expression.

				He figured the security guard didn't pay much to the school football team, the COSU Cougars. "My name's Telly," he said, greeting both of them. While Alice&nbsp; concentrated on one of the legs, he figured one good kick... Yes! He coiled his leg back to strike the leg of the table, and snapped the thing off near the joint, recoiling his leg back so that he wouldn't scrape his ankle against the wooden splinters.<br><br>He was going to help Alice snap off another leg when he heard the girl outside screaming anew, and he stopped working to listen. His heart hammered, and for a second he was sure he was going to tear down the barricade and let her in, until the other students confirmed that those monsters were coming towards her, were attracted by the sounds of her screaming. His attention turned back to the table, and he fervently helped to snap off the other three legs, less cautious this time. In the end four legs were snapped off the table, some clean snaps and others with jagged splinters on the end, and Telly had a shallow cut on his ankle, leaking blood into his sock.<br><br>"Shit," he muttered, ripping a page out of his former bludgeoning book and wiping at the blood with it. In the other hand he held his newfound weapon, the table leg.

				Brad's attention was on the table as they broke it down. Not because he was particularly interested, but because if he turned his attention to the poor, screaming girl, he'd never be able to forget it. Instead, he focused on applying counter force to where the wood was being struck. Each leg came off successively.<br><br>"Ok, I call the next one."<br><br>Everything was going fine until Telly managed to cut himself. A thought flew through Brad's mind. The zombies might be infecting people through their blood. If so...he put down the table when they were done with it and said, "Hey! That cut isn't safe. Make a bandage out of your shirt or something, but don't leave an open wound. We don't know how this...kind of thing...is happening." He still felt like the word "zombie" was a little taboo, but this looked as much like Left 4 Dead as anything he could imagine.

				Watching Alice, Brad and Telly create their own weapons gave the idea to the students watching that perhaps they should arm themselves too. If the screaming girl taught them anything, it's that barricade or no barricade, they were all in terrible danger. Many started looking around, breaking off chair and table legs too.<br><br>"Man, they're not leaving," the guy at the window said, his voice tense. "They're just ... milling about the steps out there. They're not leaving."

				Alice turned towards the guy at the window, "Hey. Maybe if you got away from the window, they might bugger of. Or not, but arm yourself, we're pretty well situated here, I want two of you to go look for another way in for them, or a bonafide escape way out for us. Now.. we're going to the roof, leave that barricade in place", she said before motioning to Telly and the Asian guy to go upstairs. Marching her butt upstairs.<br><br>If Telly was walking behind her he'd probably spot that Alice had a rocking body, well maybe a little to muscled for him, but she was still pretty fit, could probably even take him down a peg. Well maybe, anyway, the 'crew' went towards the roof it would seem.

				Alice, accompanied by the asian guy (who introduced himself as Paul, with a somewhat apologetic tone to his voice for his earlier outburst), took the stairs up to the third floor, then had to look around for a bit to find a service way to the roof. They found a short side hallway with a shallow flight of stairs that ended at a locked door. Between the two of them kicking at it for about ten minutes, they got the jamb to finally bust and found themselves let out onto the library roof.<br><br>It was a bright, sunny day, pleasant temperature, all the ingredients for a fine Ohio day, as long as one kept their view skyward toward the blue. Walking to the edge of the roof and looking down was not such a pleasant sight.<br><br>There were still many bodies littering the grassy areas and walkways as far as they could see, though there were fewer than a half hour ago. As they watched, several corpses struggled to their feet and began to walk.<br><br>There are still a few fast moving, pre-dead maniacs running around out there, though not nearly as many as before. Without normal people to bash on, the crazy ones seemed to have turned on each other. Alice can see two crazed students outside the campus bookstore wailing away on each other with golf clubs. They are beating each other mercilessly, with a viciousness that makes the worst cage fight matches look like Sunday afternoon tea parties. One finally lands a killing blow to the head of the other, sending him to the ground. Still, the victor continues to swing his club, reducing the loser's head to a crimson, jelly puddle on the cement.<br><br>"Fuck ... me," Paul breathes, surveying the campus. <br><br>There is no sign of anyone else alive.

				On Brad's advice, Telly removed his shirt and wrapped it around his leg, self confident enough to show off his chest and gut. There was some flab there, but in his mind, he had enough muscle to compensate. And how he appeared was really secondary to surviving this day, and after he was confident of the knot around his leg, he followed Alice and Paul up the stairs, splintered table leg in hand and a grim smile on his face. Following Alice on a normal day, he might have taken a good look at her behind, and her chiseled body, and perhaps shared a knowing look with Paul, but it was really not the time. He had to admit she looked damn fine: He always had a thing for athletes, or at least people who kept themselves in shape. It also made it easier for Telly to be a tad bit narcissistic.<br><br>On the roof, Telly gazed around, seeing the same the others did. One of his nervous ticks was to bit his fingernails, tearing the excess nail right off, and spitting it out, though he was delicate enough not to hurt his fingers by stripping too much off. Now he was spitting keratin out of his mouth like a machinegunner, and biting his lip as well. It was a nervous, self-maiming marathon. "Shit," he muttered, the carnage in his line of vision simply exasperating. He turned his attention to his leg, which was thankfully not bleeding anymore, and to his luck he didn't witness the final beatdown with the golfclub.<br><br>Looking from Paul to Alice, he said "Well... How are we going to get out of here? We can... Try to wait them out, maybe. It... Uh, well, looks like when they have nobody to chase they get..." He trailed off, pointing to the pool of gore on the sidewalk where the fight had just ended.

				Alice shook her head at Telly, "No dice I think.. whatever they are.. which is fairly clear. They're us, only their dead and walking around. Whatever they want, is us.. I don't know if this place has a basement, maybe a utility tunnel. Who knows, we might be able to use that to get the hell out of dodge, but.. right now, I'm not so sure", she tried her radio again, "This is Alice, does anyone copy, I repeat, does anyone copy?", she held the radio besides her. She turned to Paul, "..Stay away from the ledges alright, no point of having one of us tumble over the edge"

				Alice tried her radio again, and again no response in return, at first. Then it crackled to life with a frantic voice. "Alice? Holy shit, you're alive! This is Deke, I'm at the station," the excited voice said. <br><br>Deke is a fellow campus officer. A nice enough guy, if not a bit on the dim side intellectually. The campus police station, a small, stand-alone structure, is on the far side of the university.<br><br>"There's four of us here!" his voice came over, crackling with static. "We're barricaded, shooting the fuck out of anything that comes near! Where are you?"

				A few moments after the others had made their way to the stairs Anya came to the realization that she wasn't going to be able to get out of this one without some help.&nbsp; She had tried to delude herself that what was going on wasn't anything that was too big of a deal, but she could only keep up that act for so long.&nbsp; Once out on the roof she too surveyed the scene and then sighed, "Dear gawd..."then looking to the security guard, "Okay so can you like, call for one of the schools helicopters or something to come get us off this roof?"

				Brad looked around. His new friends had left for the roof, leaving him standing in the middle of the library with a broken chair leg in his hands.<br><br>Sounds good.<br><br>Brad walked into the main library wing. As he watched people trying to find exits, watching zombies, Brad decided the short-term was well cared for. He decided to work on the long term, namely, work on finding food and maintaining communication out. He had no idea how far this pandemic had spread (if it was a disease at all. It was nothing he had ever heard of) but he suspected cell phones would still be a viable option in the future. For now, though...<br><br>He lifted his chair leg and sent it crashing violently into the glass protecting the front of a vending machine. Come bags of chips and candy bars spilled out. It wasn't enough for a prolonged stay, but at least they wouldn't have to become the Donner Party. He walked outside, "Hey, food in here!" He said loudly.

				A few students perked up at Brad's call to eats, and came over to help themselves. Most, however, weren't thinking beyond the next five minutes and were too freaked out to have much of an appetite.&nbsp; <br><br>As Brad walked away with his own goodies, he heard a thudding sound down the corridor. Looking past row upon row of bookshelves, he saw a guy down the hall pressing himself against a door. There was also a chair propped against the door handle. The guy, clearly a student, looked extremely stressed.<br><br>He looked up and saw Brad.<br><br>"Hey, give me a hand here!" he called out. "I think I got one of them trapped in there, in the bathroom."<br><br>The door shook violently with another thud from behind, but it held thanks to the student pressing against it and the chair.<br><br>At the moment, there was no one else around but Brad.

				"I'll see what we can do, Alice, but the shit's really in the fire, you know what I mean?" Deke's voice came over the speaker. You hear three distinct gunshot sounds in the background, and someone yelling. You can't make out anything other than the word "motherfucker" in there somewhere. Deke continues talking, not taking much notice of the gunplay.<br><br>"Hey, I almost forgot! You got your piece, right? Shoot 'em in the head. Drops them dead everytime," Deke says.

About a quarter mile across campus, the Psychology building was venting an almost invisible plume of white smoke from a point on the roof.<br><br>"That place on fire?"

				It was far away; even without his ocular disadvantages, he still had to squint to notice the thinnest ribbon of white smoke. "Hmm," he muttered, licking his lips, and only tasting his own sweat. "It... I don't know. If it was on fire, why wouldn't smoke be coming out of the windows? And why is it white?" The wind picked up a bit, and the warm day felt great for just a moment, taking his mind off of their current situation. He stood up and let the wind wash over him, then figured he looked like an idiot, standing on the library roof with no shirt, even if there were hardly any living folks to see him. He removed the shirt from his leg; there was a small stain of dried blood on the back, but his leg had dried up into a thin scab, and shouldn't be a problem.<br><br>Shrugging, he threw the shirt back on, and turned back to Alice. "What do you make of that?" he asked, pointing to the Psych hall that Paul had pointed out.

But these things shambling along were not fast at all, she turned towards Telly, looking at his muscled chest as she shook her head, get it out of your mind, not right now. She spotted the white smoke, "..Smoke signals I think. Nobody here happen to be into birdwatching and happened to bring their binoculars", she asked with a grin, staring at the people on the roof.

				Brad made a quick few steps over to the barricaded door. The guy...zombie...thing...was no threat right now, but he hated to put off the inevitable. That said, could he really kill another living thing? He shook his head to himself and looked at the guy who had called him over. Brad said softly, "I think we have to kill it. When I say go, open that door as fast as you can." Brad gripped the table leg as hard as he could feeling adrenaline and rage build up in his system. The testosterone flowed through his veins.<br><br>"Go!" As soon as the door opened, Brad aimed for the thing's head and, eyes closed, took one massive, baseball like swing.<br><br>

"Okay," he said hoarsely.<br><br>The guy shoved the chair out of the way and pulled the door open. The maniac behind flew out with a suddenness that shocked Brad.

				With a disapproving shrug Anya had decided to obey the security guard and check back downstairs for another exit.&nbsp; She reluctantly trudged down&nbsp; the stairs in her platform pumps and back into the main part of the library, cautiously looking around, though she didn't really expect any of the mutate people to be in the library at this point.&nbsp; Once satisfied she begins to prod around the place looking for another exit that seemed to be free of mutates, unfortunately for Anya, she barely knew the library at all!

				Alice's fingers balled as she stared at the young woman, she had once been a student it seemed, but right now she was just one of these walking dead. She gritted her teeth as she quickly took a few steps back, almost on automatic as she upholstered her pistol, pulling the hammer back as she slipped the safety off with the other finger. Breathing deeply as she took aim and pressed the hammer down, already wincing mentally for the loudness that the gun would bark out.

				Alice breathed deeply, the sound still ringing in her ears, the gun wasn't a high caliber bullet but it still made her ears ring, just like any shooting indoors and without earplugs would. She slowly re-holstered the gun by her side as she pulled out her baton, "Stay back..", she said softly, before moving towards the dead girl's corpse and swinging the baton against her face.

				Telly took a step forward and laid one hand on Alice's shoulder, looking solemnly down at the corpse. The bullet hole was smoking, a bit, from the flesh scorched by the bullet that had went clean through her head. "I... I'm pretty sure this one isn't getting up." His heart was hammering in his chest, not sure what the cause was; The sudden death of this woman, the sound of the gunshot, or his proximity to Alice. He squeezed her shoulder briefly, before he let his hand fall back to his side. Then, the stench began to hit him... Telly raised his forearm to his mouth, fighting back the gagging sensation. "Ugh, let's go."<br><br>She had not been deceased long enough to start rotting, but it was the sight of the gaping wound in her neck... He was not disgusted by the sight of mere blood, but seeing her flesh hacked open, and knowing that she had still been alive after that...

Sure it was a waste of a beautiful rug and more so that it was made by Ghandi himself, but this wasn't a time to be used to think about the arts, this was a time for action.

				It was a shame to ruin such a fine piece of art, but desperate times called for desperate measures... At least, that was Telly's justification. "Alright," he responded, climbing up onto the exhibit and using his height to reach behind the rug and undo the clasps that held it firmly in place. He was not so sure that yanking it off the wall would do them any good... If it was truly Gandhi's own rug, it must have been sixty years old, perhaps fragile.

				"Where there's smoke, there's fire," said telly, repeating the old adverb. There was a sheen of sweat on his face from the effort... The tapestry was almost as heavy as the girl, and the two combined made for difficult lifting, especially in an awkward package like her. He wanted to wipe his face with his hands, but figured it might not be the best thing to do... He had no idea how this madness was communicated between the students, though he was sure it had something to do with germs, pathogens, something like that.<br><br>He instead used his bare forearm, wiping his forehead free of sweat, and the area around his mouth.

				"Beats the hell out of me, on all counts," Eric said, giving the door one last dirty look before turning his back on it.<br><br>He returned his attention to Anya, his gaze lingering on her chest before his eyes rose to meet hers again. "Hey, what are you doing wandering around anyway? It's not safe to be alone."

				The students huddling around the ground floor of the library looked up with alarm as Alice announced her encounter. Many stood to their feet nervously, clutching whatever makeshift weapon they had managed to find.<br><br>"Count me out," Paul said, shaking his head. He still looked ashen from the run in with the girl. "I'm betting if we just wait long enough, this will all play out and we can just leave. So, I'm going to stay right here."<br><br>Paul wasn't alone in his mindset. No one looked eager to set out hunting in the library.

				Alice sighed, "Listen to me, those things out there, they are gonna come in here, when they do, whenever it may be I do NOT want to be trapped here with more of them inside. So right now what we have to do, is to take out those that are still inside of the library and find a way out of here as well. Some escape plan", she stared at the students.

				Telly thought it was obvious that they had to escape, and the number of people who wanted to sit down and 'wait it out' staggered him. He thought it was such a cliche expression, but he actually felt his eyes boggle, his mouth gape as they refused to save their own lives... He could understand where they were coming from, though. He began to mumble a bit, whispering to himself, almost rehearsing what he was going to say, though if you knew Telly well enough, you could argue that he was trying to speak to them, but the words just caught in his throat.<br><br>He caught himself whispering, and cleared his throat. "Listen, I know... That you think this thing will blow over, but I don't think it will. Would you rather die sitting down, watching the internet, or would you rather die trying to save your life?" Well, after he thought about it, Telly wasn't sure, but there was an undeniable tug at his heart to get the fuck out of dodge, and youtube would never curtail that instinct.

				Everyone was looking at Telly and Alice, the tension and fear thick in the air.<br><br>"Where would we go?" a dark-haired girl asked. She stood up from where she was sitting on the floor. "This is happening all over Ohio. Even if we got out of here, where would we go?"<br><br>Some of the others nodded their heads, as if this explained why they should just sit tight.

				Alice gritted her teeth more then anything she wanted to pistolwhip the dark haired girl, but instead she turned to her. "We need to be somewhere mobile, we need to be somewhere we can defend ourselves. THIS", she indicated the library, "isn't it, you got me, we need to get out of here, we need water, food, weapons, none of those things are here right now. Perhaps just a bit of food", she said, spotting the junkfood, "I'm not denying it'll be dangerous going out but it's better then staying in here and waiting to get killed"

				A guy who had been standing in a corner, running his fingers through his hair and looking very tense, suddenly took a step forward. <br><br>"You got a death wish or something?!" he yelled at Alice. "You know something we don't? We're safe here, got that? We got a fucking door and walls between us and them, and you want to run outside! As far as any of us know, they'll all just drop dead in an hour or two and all this will be over!"<br><br>He pointed his finger at her, his eyes wild and angry. "Fuck you!"

				Inside, Telly felt something snap. He was already becoming annoyed by these peoples' obvious need to sit down and wait for those monsters outside to break in and kill them all... But personal insults really drove him to new levels of anger. "Oh yeah, fuck me?" He asked, taking a few angry steps towards the guy. He stood as straight and as tall as he could, making himself more menacing.<br><br>"No, fuck YOU" he said as his arm swung up from around his waist, intent on hitting him right in the chin and sending him to his ass.

				Alice's hand went almost with an instant to the side of her belt, her finger already ready to unlatch the guard part for her pistol, she took a step back, putting some more distance between her and the rather tense young man, "Calm down, whatever this is, it's not gonna blow over, look outside for Christ's sake man, this isn't some little thing. This isn't a campus shooting spree, whatever it is that happened, out there are dead people and by the sound of things, there are more and more of them joining the crowd. Sooner or later they're gonna get in here. Tell me, do you want to get eaten by them?", she stared the man hard in the face, "But if your all gonna be to stubborn then I'm just gonna leave you, anyone who wants to come with me can do so now, I'm getting out of here, alone if I have to"<br><br>She slowly walked backwards away from the group of students, her hand never leaving her belt before she was out of the room. Still as she saw Telly step forward she raised her pistol, "Step away from him, NOW!", she barked at Telly, "Now goddamit, if you want to fight with someone fight with those things out there, now.. if you want to tango, come with me and I'll give you plenty to rock and roll against. Now get over here"

				Telly took a swing at the guy, Alice's words lost on him as he gave in to his anger. Telly could see the guy tense up, ready for a fight, but still unprepared for Telly's sudden assault. His fist connected with the guy's chin, sending him reeling to the ground.<br><br>Some of the girls watching shrieked, but no one looked like they wanted to get directly involved.<br><br>The guy clutched his jaw, a crimson line of blood forming on his chin from the split lip. He looked at the blood on his hand, then back up at Telly. "Fucking bastard," he grunted, then shot to his feet and charged Telly.

				"Fuck..", shielding her gun once more instead of firing it, she might need the bullets later and to be honest, she was still a bit tonedeaf from the earlier shot she had fired within the hallway. Instead out came her baton, ready to crack the thick hardness of the leather against the back of his knee first, most likely blowing it out before smacking him straight on his forehead.

				Alice's words were lost on him as he cracked the guy's jaw. It was curious; Telly was fully aware that he shouldn't be doing this, but whenever someone incited his anger, all he could see was red, and polite, laid-back and shy Telly gave away to savage, pissed-off Telly. He stood there, grinning triumphantly as the guy fell on his ass, clutching his split lip with a look of horror on his face. Telly expected the guy to stay down, to give up, and was a bit surprised when the man went to tackle him.<br><br>To the side, he saw Alice pull out her baton, and he tried to jump to the side, to make the guy miss, and to let Alice teach him that cold steel bruised a lot worse than his own fist.

The dude was in a fury, though, and slammed into Telly, the momentum taking Telly back until he crashed into a table of computer terminals.<br><br>They stood locked in position for a moment, each grappling with the other, until Alice came up and whacked the guy across the knee.<br><br>"Ah shit!" the guy cried, clutching at his knee, at which point Alice smacked him across the forehead, sending him down to the floor where he stayed, semi-conscious.<br><br>Everyone was watching this in horrified, shocked silence.

				Back in the relative quiet of the library halls Anya responds to Eric's question with a simple shrug.&nbsp; "Uhmm...I don't really ever remember even coming to library, I mean, I don't really come here that often honestly so..." she glanced around and got goosebumps by doing so.&nbsp; "Uh...well...anyway it's not like we're the only two people in the library right now, there are others too...even that stupid bitch security guard...you know, the one that everybody hates?"

				"Anybody else tries this.. and they're gonna get the exact same treatment, got it?", she bit at the remaining students before turning sideways to Telly, extending her hand to him, "Here let me help you up", she said softly, before pulling him upright, but never really letting her eyes go from the guy on the floor, worst she could do was turn your back to people like that.

"Shh, be very quiet," he said in a hushed tone as he strained to listen.<br><br>Suddenly, he grabbed Anya by the wrist and pulled her along urgently. "Come on! There's a few of them in the library, I think. We gotta watch our backs. I know a safe place."<br><br>He took her down the hall, nearly pulling her along in his haste, turned a corner, and went down another long side hall before shoving a door open and pulling Anya inside with him, closing the door behind him.<br><br>The room looked like some kind of utility space, filled with shelves stacked with toilet paper and sundries. There were circuit breaker boxes along one wall, and cleaning supplies, push along book trollies and a few discarded computers.<br><br>Eric stood at the door, his ear to it as though listening for something out in the hall. When he seemed satisfied, he smiled at her and stood at ease. "It's okay, you're safe in here. We better sit tight for a bit, though."

				The air had gone out of Telly's lungs when the guy had slammed into him with a surprising amount of force. The tackle alone might not have accomplished that, but when he fell into the computer tables, it hit him in the back just right to create a 'whoosh' of air fleeing his lungs. He managed to grab the guys wrists to keep himself from being pummeled for a moment, and they struggled for a second before he felt the guy slacken and just roll off of him with a fresh welt on his forehead.<br><br>Telly lay on the floor sucking in air for a moment before Alice helped him to his feet. "Thanks," he said, cracking his knuckles with a satisfied look on his face. Though next time, he would perhaps try to be a bit more nimble. "Alright," he said in a louder voice, more of a croak, so that everyone could hear. "So... Does <em>anyone</em> want to get the fuck out of here and save themselves? It doesn't have to be one or all... Don't follow the herd and get slaughtered."

				The blonde bimbo let out a sigh of relief as she looked around the new room.&nbsp; It was somewhat boring, but of course not as boring as the actual library itself.&nbsp; After yet another sigh she paced around a bit, her frilly babydoll dress tossing about her thighs as her golden hair did the same about her shoulders.&nbsp; "So uhm...how long are we gunna be in here anyway?"

A handful of other students also took a step forward, willing to go with Telly and Alice. <br><br>The other students remained at their respective posts, unwilling to take a risk.
