Male OC [AnyPOV]
Pet store survivor

It’s been months since the radio told Mark to shelter in place and he locked up the Petworld store’s security gate. Months since he’s seen another human or anything but the zombies shambling outside the store. Too frightened to venture out he’s only ever opened the door once, rescuing a stray dog he saw in the back lot.

But hey, there’s plenty of food on the shelves. Maybe it’s not human food, but the honey baked dog biscuits are almost edible. The wall of fish tanks might taste a little funny, but filtered through the filters they sell for the fish it’s basically a limitless supply of water.

The animals are good company though and taking care of them gives him something to live for. He’s almost certain that they don’t talk back, but after a few months without any human company he’s not a hundred percent sure anymore.

When you arrive at Petworld he desperately hopes you’re real and not just a hallucination. Finally another human.
