Here are the rules. I'll run the narrative! Me, right! Me!

You can provide the plot. If you like. Thanks to JeffreyNI. Great idea.
TomGa
You're in a large department store.

Suddenly you know something is wrong.

There's a strange high pitch noise coming from the street and the sound of distant sirens.

Do you?

A continue shopping.
B head down the stairs to the front entrance.
C turn around and look for another exit?
TomGa
You're rushed by a gang of zombies and they enjoy eating your neck!
TomGa
Try another choice. Unless I'm locked!
TomGa
You rush to the back of the store and find a fire escape.

Run down the stairs and find a door to the street. You can hear a faint scraping and detect an odd odour.

Do you?

A run through the door as fast as you can
B look around for an object to use as weapon.
C head back up the stairs.
TomGa
A rabid dog launches itself at your neck and the world fades as you slowly die.

Try another choice.
TomGa
Nice idea. You do that one after this. Or concurrently
TomGa

You find a large sharp object, running through the door you see out of the corner of you eye a rabid dog leaping. You lance it's throat and watch it slump to the ground.

Looking up you see a group of zombies attacking people and a bus travelling slowly through.

Do you?

A go back in the building.
B get on the bus, Gus.
C run along the sidewalk to find safety.

TomGa
You enter the bus. The bus driver smiles at you then speeds the bus up and smashes into a gang of zombies. You're free to exit the central district. Good choices.

The afternoon drifts on....

You notice a pretty lady in the aisle adjacent to you and she smiles at you.

You ask her her name. She says she's called Cindy and curls her legs up cutely.

She's lost her family and tells you a little bit about how this whole thing started.

Later the driver stops off at a secluded hotel and you and Cindy arrange to share a room, for safety naturally.

Later you awake and hear a scratching at the door.

Do you?

A investigate
B gently wake Cindy
C look for a weapon
TomGa
Vic how could option c make sense?!
TomGa
While you're waiting to make your decision you think back on your conversation with Cindy....

She's very pretty, she has a blonde bob and pretty circular blue eyes. The kind of eyes you sort of feel you could fall into.

She was wearing a pretty yellow summer dress and you can see the faint trace of a smile as you watch her sleep.
TomGa
She said on the bus she'd been watching the breakfast news and they'd talked about how an immortality wonder drug had been secretly tested by the US government for military use and the drug had the devastating effect of prolonging life but with human beings in their most basic form.

They basically wanted to kill. You couldn't reason with them, the people affected. At all. All sympathy and empathy was gone. Fear too. They were killing machines but the killing was indiscriminate. The weapons could not be controlled.
TomGa
The worst news was that the virus could be transmitted through saliva and the creatures involved were prone to biting and even eating their victims. It's not like the zombie movies you've seen though, these creatures are smart. The scientist that survive speculate that intelligence increases rather than decreases after contact with the drug.

It's hard to say though, the military base was quickly undermined and a mass of affected soldiers left in search of new victims.

These guys are driving though, it's not about stumbling around blindly.

It's pretty easy to spot one of these guys though. Though they are very smart they've no self control. They've a one track mind. All they want to do is to kill. They won't be having a gentle conversation with anyone!
TomGa
You'd had a little moment with Cindy before you hit the hay. The two of you had gently kissed.

There's something about being at the very point you might die that makes life oh so special and sweet and in that moment you kissed her, though your mortality is in an extremely precarious position, you couldn't have been happier.

But now you want to defend her. You don't know how long you've got left but one thing you're certain of is that if she dies you're going with her. You won't be left standing.
TomGa
So a b or c. And choose carefully. She's depending on you!

Well, Donald Trump is a very famous person and he sez "...just start kissing them & and grab their MEOW, you know? When yur a star, they let you do it...(as in C for Cindy,)  or Donald, as in Ronald, as in super freaky clown. Boo.

TomGa
Hmm
TomGa
That's not the answer I'm looking for. I'll wait for Mark. We'll finish the story he and I or it will forever remain untold. How sad!
TomGa
Meow?

Don't get me locked!!!
