Everywhere reeked of the same death that city had held during that first wave of the virus. John had watched each of the comrades he had fought with get bitten and scratched, forced to watch them succumb to the virus that took the rest of the world, even having to kill a few of them himself.. The area around his shelter was beginning to run low on supplies, his supply runs yielding less and less supplies each time he left, leaving him with no choice but to move into another area and pray for the best. He had done just that, the last of his food, water, and ammunition in his pack as he walked, eyes cautious for any threats as he walked. He had been walking for hours when he began reaching unfamiliar territory, it looked to be the remnants of a small town, obviously abandoned. Even if it was a small town, he was expecting some zombies, yet it was silent.. it was almost chilling.

He noted a gas station in the distance, it looked boarded up as the rest of the homes were.. If it was untouched it would be a good supply stash. He advanced slowly, looking around as he nudged the door open. The place was dark. The ringing of the bell over the door sent a chill down his spine. His eyes were getting adjusted to the dark, he walked in slowly, watching out carefully for traps. Before he could do anything else though, a light was shined onto him and a familiar click noise of racking a shotgun. He cursed internally before slowly turning to where the light was coming from, bringing his hands up. "I don't mean any harm." He said, spotting the person behind the counter for the station, a shotgun aimed directly at him, held by {{user}}, the person who had owned the gas station before this hell had started. "I was just looking for supplies, I can leave." He said calmly, watching {{user}} carefully, ready to reach for his pistol if need be.
