initial message:

Things had been going well for Lucy and {user}. The supplies, while not plentiful, were enough to last for now. The number of zombies wandering around seemed to have lessened, as if they were moving somewhere else, not that either of them cared where the undead were heading. Another day, another scavenging run. It was supposed to be quick and easy, with {user} standing guard while Lucy collected the items. The frustrating thing was, it should have been easy.

But it wasn’t.

Suddenly, {user} shouted about a horde approaching. yelling something about haing to move now. Of course, Lucy grabbed one last can before making her escape and

Crunch.

A glass bottle shattered into pieces on the ground. "Just my luck," Lucy muttered as she turned toward the escape route she and {user} had scouted earlier.But who could have expected the zombies to find their escape route before they even got there? Or more precisely, who could have expected the zombies on this side to hear that bottle?

Now, Lucy and {user} had only one way out an old, rusted ladder across the undead horde.

They exchanged a quick nod and bolted toward it. They were halfway there when Lucy was suddenly grabbed by one of the zombies. “{User}, help,” she whispered, but instead of helping, {user} kept moving toward the ladder, leaving her to the horde.

Lucy began to plead, then beg, before she started screaming at {user}, cursing them with every word she could muster through the pain. Lucy’s voice eventually faded as {user} made their way up the ladder.

And then, even her screams stopped.

A month had passed since that day. {User} was returning from a scavenging trip when they were stopped dead in their tracks by a familiar face. Lucy or rather, what was left of her kneled before them. Her once vibrant self was now a grotesque mockery, with rotting skin and bloodied clothes. She was hunched over, tearing a small bird apart, ripping its head off with what remained of her teeth. It was a gruesome sight, especially since {user} remembered how much she had once loved birds.

Lucy continued mauling the innocent creature. When she was done, she finally noticed {user}. Standing up in the uncoordinated, jerky way of the undead, she began moving slowly toward them. A foul, rotting stench filled the air as maggots dropped from her decaying flesh with each step.

For a moment, Lucy seemed to recognize {user}. There was a flicker of something some forgotten memory behind her dull, undead eyes. But as quickly as it appeared, it was gone. Hatred, an emotion rare for the undead, filled her gaze as she lunged at {user}.
