This is my version of how the Infection first came about, how the Survivors met, and what happened post-rescue.

If there are any grammatical errors or typos, please tell me at User talk:Sean gorter. Thank you for reading.

Chapter 1: Stormcloud
"Sir, the virus is ready for testing."

"Thank you, Major."

Major DeKalb snapped his heels together, clicked his hand straight, and saluted General Michaelson. The General responded the same way, and DeKalb walked away.

In the sterile facilities of Fort Dover, a new strain of rabies, codenamed 'Stormcloud', was being tested on Lieutenant Doran. Doran had volunteered for the experiment to create superhumans. He understood how dangerous this experiment would be, but also wanted the best for his country.

"This is your last chance to check yourself off the lab-rat list, Lieutenant", Michaelson told Doran.

"Thank you, sir. But it is my honor to serve this country."

Michaelson gave the heads up and the clear blue fluid containing Stormcloud was injected into Doran.

Half an hour later, an unworldly scream was heard in the sterile testing lab, one that not even a rabies patient could scream. DeKalb and Michaelson were dead, Doran had grabbed his blue sweatshirt, and the last thing caught on security camera #37 was a hooded creature crouching and leaping away, screaming.

Or were Michaelson and DeKalb dead? DeKalb rose first, and leaned against a wall. Michaelson rose next, and started walking around aimlessly. DeKalb had his hand on his head, and both deathly white.

They were infected.

Chapter 2: Zoey
Zoey was locked in her college room with a baseball bat, a remote control, and a TV playing Ghostbusters. Her grades had started falling, and she was given a last chance before being expelled.

Zoey had dark brown hair wrapped in a ponytail, brown eyes, fair white skin, and a pink jacket on her.

Already an hour and 15 minutes into the movie, Zoey knew almost every catchphrase in the movie.

It was going to be a scary night...

"Zoey? Can you tell me what the sun is composed of?"

Zoey was staring into space, thinking of ghosts.

"Zoey?" Professor Pelowski rapped the table.

Zoey was still unresponsive.

"Zoey!"

The normally pleasant disposition had turned into a menacing growl. There was something about the growl...

"The composition of the sun or a one-way ticket to the principal's office, young lady!"

That woke up Zoey and the response, "I'm sorry, professor, what was your question?", came out of her mouth.

"What is the composition of the sun?"

It was going to be a long day...

Locked up in her room again, with another horror movie playing, Zoey was holding her baseball bat again. Which is amazing considering the threats that existed in college.

More screaming...

Zoey loved the screaming of a horror movie. It calmed her in a scary sort of way.

*cough cough*

"That's an odd cough," Zoey thought.

Zoey slowly got up and walked towards her door. "Hello?", she called out.

*cough cough*

Zoey unlocked her door and found herself face-to-face with...

The grossest thing she had ever seen. More than seven feet tall, with red eyes with yellow centers, and covered in strange growths, was exactly the thing she should only see in a horror movie.

*cough cough*

A tongue came out of the creature's mouth. Human instinct for survival took over and Zoey whacked the monster with her bat. It stumbled at first, and Zoey continued pummeling it until it burst into smoke.

Zoey herself coughed and she couldn't see a thing.

Then she noticed something a little clear, the monster's body. On closer look, it was deathly white. The strange growths had burst, the body was so thin, and oddly, now it looked like it came from hell rather than a horror movie.

Another white monster appeared, bloated until the point that it looked like it was going to burst any second. It was also covered in strange growths, but they were more filled up and one hung from its chin.

Grabbing a pocket knife and throwing it to the fattie, burst was exactly what it did as a green-yellow liquid (vomit? bile? alien goo?) covered a radius around the monster. Zoey saw the fat legs and hips lying on the ground with the upper portion disappeared.

She had no idea what was happening and called out for her friends.

743 feet further through the college, a human-looking zombie awoke from its sleep on a wall.

Zoey called desperately for her friends, and she felt a shoulder touch her from behind. She whirled around but it was her friend Justin.

"What's going on?" Zoey asked.

"I have no idea other than zombies!" Justin answered.

"You mean zombies that shoot tongues out and explode when you kill them?"

"Umm, yeah!"

The human-looking zombie was getting closer...

"Is there a way out of here?"

"I don't know! The exit's probably crawling with zombies!"

The human-looking zombie appeared behind Zoey and bit her.

"Argh! I thought zombies liked branis!"

Zoey brandished her bat and killed the zombie, still deathly white and scarier than ever.

"A bat? You're not going to survive this attack without a real weapon!"

Suddenly a mob of human-like zombies raged at them. Zoey even thought she recognized some of them...

"Take this, Zoey!"

As Zoey shoved a zombie with her new pistol, she definitely recognized some of the zombies.

"Our friends and teachers have turned into zombies!" Zoey gasped.

As suddenly a hooded zombie pounced on Zoey, Justin recognized the pouncer as Professor Pelowki. As Pelowski clawed at Zoey's abdomen, Justin fired away at its head. Zoey felt awful...

That was the professor, Zoey!", said Justin, helping Zoey up to her feet with the zombie's — professor's — dead body next to her.

"The professor?!?" Zoey exclaimed as she fired away, trigger happy. "We have a way out!"

While the mob literally died down, Zoey searched the professor's body, eventually finding a key.

In the teacher's garage, Zoey unlocked a Chevrolet Cobalt and got into the driver's seat. Starting the car, Justin entered the passenger's seat and buckled up. Zoey drove the Chevy out of Fairfield National College and sped through the streets of Fairfield County.

Zoey noticed a piece of paper with the writing 'Safe zone up ahead.  ↑ '

Zoey and Justin stopped and entered a restaurant for a meal.

Zoey ran out of the restaurant. Justin was not with her.

Zoey stopped in front of a building. It looked like it had been abandoned but it was where she was told to go. Reaching for her pistol, she exited the Chevy and slowly walked towards the entrance. It was unlit inside. Pushing open the door, she was greeted by a flashlight.

Admitted into the building, she found it well-lit and full of survivors. An old man came forward and stuck his hand out, saying, "Hi. I'm Bill. What's your name?"

After staying for several days, being taught how to handle guns, introduced to the 'zombies', who were actually living people who were infected, she left the building, with three other survivors, in hope of rescue.

"After spending her first semester holed up in a dorm room watching old horror movies, Zoey was given a choice: Stop fooling around and get her grades up, or drop out. Now that the planet's overrun with murderous zombies, and all of her professors are dead, Zoey at least has the cold comfort that she's been studying up on the right subject after all."
