<br>
The beginning will take place not in Colorado Springs, as we first said, but in the Charles Paddock Zoo in Atascadero Califonia.<br>
<br>
I do not have a character, and am to be seen as the Dungeon Master (if this were a game of Dungeons and Dragons). I'll be describing things as they happen, and it's up to you how you involve your characters in with the story I will be weaving. My part will begin by focusing on a group of students on a field trip to the zoo.<br>
<br>
The day was overcast, but that didn't stop the kindergartners of Monterrey Road Elementary from being excited. They'd been anticipating this field trip for several weeks, and as little children will be, they were excited and rambunctious. The teacher, Mrs. Olsen, was struggling to keep them in line. The little ones hadn't known, but there had been a virus which was spreading rather quickly. It had begun on the East Coast, and less than a week later, it had spread to Texas. Despite its rather speedy spread, it didn't seem to affect many people, yet. The Federal Government had been hiding details of what it was, claiming it was some form of rabies, here, but some form of the flu, there. Nevertheless, rumors flew, calling it a zombie virus. Mrs. Olsen had never believed in that sort of thing, though. <br>
<br>
The school had almost cancelled the field trip when there was a rumor that someone passing through Atascadero had been infected, but since it was merely someone who had taken bath salts, they were allowed to go. What they hadn't known was that the virus had, indeed, spread to Atascadero, but not through an infected individual. It had piggybacked through a 'corpse' which had been brought from Texas, through California, to reach the UC Davis Med Group (which is a Center for Disease Control base) in Sacramento. Since it was, in fact, a zombie Virus, the route had been chosen to accomplish two goals: Keep it in small towns, and keep it near to the coast. This would be to limit the spread as much as possible if something was to go terribly wrong. <br>
<br>
In Atascadero, the infected individual woke up, attacked the driver, and caused the truck to crash on the side of the road, near the zoo. But this hadn't been reported, as it was still several hours before the truck was meant to reach Sacramento, and the driver had been rendered unconscious before they could call in that there was a disturbance. Mrs. Olsen would live to regret not cancelling the field trip... but not for very long...</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Carter Sutton wasn't in a hurry; he enjoyed the shade and air conditioning the gift shop provided as he amusedly observed Mrs. Olsen's class of kindergarteners move from exhibit to exhibit after they unexpectedly stormed through the entrance. Charles Paddock Zoo wasn't anything special really with all he's seen from his deployments overseas, but he came back regardless whenever he had leave from his unit. It had become an acclimatizing ritual of sorts for him to come relax here after settling in at his place. He wouldn't call himself a troubled serviceman, and he's heard of worse ways Marines readjusted to civilian life with their newfound perspectives, but his visits here never quite stuck right with him until now. Atascadero wasn't home to him. Neither was California, to be honest. But watching the kids from the Monterrey Road Elementary field trip running circles around their teacher made it all click for him. He came here for a sense of belonging, normalcy, and familiarity, if only for a moment. He walked out into the sun, basking in its light and warmth. A while longer and he'll head back. He wasn't in a hurry. No sir.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">James stood by the entrance of the zoo, waiting. He was supposed to meet someone on a date, but it appeared that his date was running a few minutes late. It was pretty understandable. After all, there was some pretty crazy traffic today for some reason. It was a nightmare getting here even though he planned to get here a bit early. Instead, he got he almost right on time. So, he just stood there... bored, watching the people walk by and the zoo employees working. It looked like a normal day as always, except for the crazy traffic.</div>

The other girls were the worst to her, mostly because they were jealous of her looks. In truth, she was also rather intelligent as well, having learned how to listen more than speak, and in doing so, learning to observe, rather than influence. She had accepted James' request for a date for a few reasons: She felt it was time to start looking for a partner (she was about to graduate), he was an ambitious young man, though he was quiet, and kept to himself, and finally: Because he had seen through her lisp, and knew of her own potential. He never mentioned it, and could understand her perfectly (in truth, it reminded her of a childhood crush she had had in elementary school) She wished to be the great woman behind the great man she knew he could become. </i></u><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Carter looked around for a moment for a distraught guardian or a distressed chaperone desperately searching for their ward before bending down to her level. He wasn't the parenting type by any means, but he didn't see any harm he could do in indulging her request. "You ask, and I'll oblige," he said, offering his right hand to the little girl after he takes the coin in his left and walks her over to the penny press machine, inserting the coin. "My folks didn't appreciate President Abraham Lincoln much either, the man stamped on top of the copper, I mean," he clarified himself as he made a great show of effort in turning the wheel with both hands, voice abruptly faltering midsentence. "Guess you loosened it up for me," he confided to her when he was done, handing the little girl the elongated souvenir coin that popped out. "The name's Sutton, Carter Sutton. You got a name I can know you by too Miss Penny?" Carter asked, "I'd prefer a name given over a name taken, so don't feel compelled to answer. Regardless, we can head into the gift shop to get you your pick of a stuffed animal, and to see if they have any quality concessions, my treat."</div>
