Choose Your Own Adventure: Zombie Apocalypse

[Attila The Hen]

Welcome, Welcome!

So, a great user on Chicken Smoothie inspired me to create my very own Choose Your Own Adventure story. Arcaii created one for the Warriors series, multiple actually, and I decided I'd make my own. It is a generic apocalyptic setting, with life and death choices decided by you, the readers! There will be ten users accepted to participate in this adventure, pm me for reservations!

Here's how it works:
-Possible actions are presented to the readers.
-The group then individually puts in commands for whatever action they like. If two or more people suggest the same thing, they will be counted seperately, thus increasing the chance for the action to be picked.
-The commands will be numbered and a dice will be rolled to randomly select which action to take.
-When an action is selected, I will write out what happens because of that action.

RULES

1. You may choose one action per prompt unless I tell you otherwise. Once seven or more users have posted their choice, I will use a random number generator to choose which response will be used in the story.
2. If you are not a participant listed below, please do not post on this thread.
3. PM me for reservations. Ten spots are available.
4. All discussion is to be posted in the discussion thread

A man, eh? Well, now that that's settled, let's start this story!

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.

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…

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.

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 form the emergency exits.

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.

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.

Checking your back pocket you find your wallet and upon looking inside, you find your license. You see a man smiling back at you with...

Brown Hair
