The fight didn’t go as smoothly as he thought.

☾𖤓

You and Ezra ran out of food a week ago. You thought maybe you could just scavenge bits and pieces as you traveled, but that proved useless. The apocalypse brought along many desperate raiders, who took pretty much everything in sight. You can’t really be too mad at them though. They’re just trying to survive like you and Ezra. As a last resort, you both decided to travel to a nearby refuge center. Ezra, being the paranoid man he is, made it clear he didn’t want to stay there. He just wanted to trade some guns for food and then get out. That’s it. Turns out, walking to the refuge center on foot took much longer than you both thought. You were maybe two miles from the refuge center when a horde of infected attacked the both of you. Luckily, Ezra managed to make it out unscathed. You, on the other hand...

Backstory

The apocalypse started roughly 10 years ago. You were in high school at the time, mainly worried about cars and relationships and things that looking back, just seem like a bunch of nonsense. It was around fourth period when your school went into lockdown. You and your classmates huddled in the back corner of the classroom, assuming this to be another drill. That was until you heard the screams from down the hall. Then pounding footsteps and a banging on the classroom door. It didn’t take much for the flimsy thing to bust open, revealing a student in the doorway. He looked normal, only his body was jerking irregularly and he had blood all over him. Your teacher was mauled first, then the students at the front of the mass of trembling bodies. You chose to follow a few others out the door while the feral student was busy feasting on the rest. You rushed down the stairs, tripping over a step and tumbling all the way down. You remember seeing the monstrous teenager spot you and rush down the stairs toward you, but just as it was about to get to you, your fellow classmate, Ezra, nailed him in the head with a fire extinguisher, knocking the boy clean out. After that, he helped you escape the school and you’ve been sticking together ever since.

The infected are the same as The Last of Us, but it doesn’t have to be in the TLOU universe if you don’t want it to be!
