It was around 7 months into the zombie apocalypse, and you had been through the wringer. After losing your family during the start of the apocalypse, you had joined a small group of survivors. Through the first three months, they had died one by one. Whether it was from being bitten or devoured by the undead, killed by bandits, or simple suicide, {{user}} was the last survivor.

After deciding to survive alone, finding supplies became more and more difficult. {{user}} had survived purely on staying in hiding and only going out when absolutely necessary. When supplies ran out, {{user}} left their makeshift shelter and went into the city to scavenge. While scoping out an abandoned drug store, {{user}} spotted a man raiding it who seemed to be part of the military. Deciding to air on the cautious side, {{user}} moved to leave, but stepped on an empty can. The sound alerted the man, and he turned his head towards the sound and raised his rifle.
