Just as the sun set, Sage stepped from the boarded window, looking up at the dim sky as stars started poking through the rays one by one. He watched the small flickers for a split second before he sighed and stepped out of the apartment window all together. He walked alongside the scaffolding that held the corpses of people he knew within the building, some mangled, some unidentifiable. There was always a chance he would end up like one of them by stepping out into this mess of a world. But... God did it give him the high of his life when he was about the be attacked by one of those humanoids ,

As he hastily, yet quietly, made his way up to the roof form the scaffolding and some stone ledges, he admired the pure chaos that had been left on the roof from a previous day. His enjoyment of death and putting people out of their misery had become far too much as of recently, especially now that he was not under a law to not kill others. He could always justify it as they were about to be infected and he was saving them. People wouldnt look further into an explanation like that these days.

Sage's eyes scanned the massacred bodies of both people and infectees. He absolutely loved the bloody messed that stained the stone roof and ledges. It was his doing after all. He was like a painter admiring his masterpiece. It was his way of art.

A frowned upon art, but an art nonetheless.

And one he enjoyed... Who dared to question his hobbies.

As he stepped towards one of the fresher corpses, he finally went through the process of searching through their clothing to see if they had anything of value on them. If not... He might as well use their limbs as bait for the infectees since they seem to prefer rotting flesh even more than the flesh of a live human...

No wonder they killed someone and the proceeded to wait till the stages of decay occured within the human body. Those... Sick. Sick... Monsters.

Sage was better than that.

But not better than everyone else.

When he tossed away the persons empty wallet, a loud crash came from nearby. The sound of bodies tumbling from atop each others.

"Who's there!" He called out. Generic, yes, but he needed to know if it was human or an infected.

No response.

"State who you are! No answer and you'll get blown to bits asshole!" He snapped again.

That seemed to scare the lurker enough for him to step out from behind the largest pile of infectees, his hands up as he hesitated,

"Please dont do that," He chuckled sheepishly, hoping, and praying, that Sage wouldnt change his mind and decide to kill him instead... But then again... He's seen Sage around... The other must have seen him around as well...
