Zombie Apocylapse story

Noceone

Lets see how far we can get this going. Don't know if it's been tried before, but it could be fun. I'll start

---

Ah ****.....the pain is terrible. I'll never go on a bender like that again. I can't remember much about the night before, but I do remember saying that same line to myself every other time I wake up severely hungover. Light coming through the tattered curtains of my run down flat, tells me it is at least sometime in the afternoon. TV is running a channel of white noise, I must have left it on. Head is thumping.

I make my way to the kitchen and see a note on the table.

Kyle,
Sarah is in a bad way. The pain is getting worse she says and she has started running a fever. Can't believe that asshole bit her. If you hadn't arrived when you did to fight him off, I don't know what would have happened. He was like an animal growling and snarling.
(****...I remember this...thought I had a bad dream)
I have to get her to the E.R. Looks like the bite has gotten infected. I will call you later....
Michelle

Yes, I remember.....Sarah and Michelle had been walking home to their flat....(over mine) and I had seen them being mugged...only the guy was crazy. I don't like violence, but had to intervene....he had just bitten Sarah for God's sake. I didn't tell the girls, but I think I fractured the guy's skull. Didn't wait to find out though.

The girls were so upset, I brought tham back to my place. Administered a little bit of 1st aid to Sarah, who wouldn't go back out to go to the E.R. she was that freaked out. She had a lie down and Michelle and I had a few beers......well Michelle had a few....my head told me I had a few more than that.

I turned back to the T.V.....

---

ok guys/gals.....who wants to take the story up from here. At the moment we have three characters. We can take it for granted that Sarah is FUBAR'd, but what happens to Michelle? What does Kyle do next? We don't know yet where this is taking place, but I'm sure someone's imagination will provide a place and other characters along the way.

El Guapo!

.....and it was all a dream.


The End.

Nice idea! If this is going to get going you should probably set some rules. For example you don't want 2 people working on the current continuation at the same time, then you get a divergent story. Maybe someone should post stating intention to continue and, once that post is in place, either edit the few paragraphs into it (to keep the thread tidy) or make a new post with them.

I think you'll also have to set a ground rule about people spoiling the story with absurd plot twists or killing off characters for the hell of it. I think your choices are to either prohibit the ridiculous, or to allow a comedy version run side by side (either different thread or simply a different font colour to distinguish it). As for killing off characters, I think a good rule would be that you can either only kill off characters of your own creation or you can kill other characters if you have contributed a certain number of story posts (to ensure those who kill characters are honestly invested in the story).

I'll probably contribute a bit myself at some point and i'd like to suggest in the meantime that the story gets based in Ireland. Not only would it be nice to have a story like this based here for a change, but we would all have a good knowledge of places, social dynamic etc to add crucial realism (write what you know).

I'll give it a go...

Last night's T-shirt on, TV on, veg out on.

You know I think Bruce Springsteen had it almost right, 57 channels and nothing but f**kin' scrolling yellow news bars on.

Veg out off.

With this pounding head of mine I just cant cope with some minor celebrity having a baby or a break up, or whatever it is, bet it's no big deal, Michael Jackson can only die once! There are more important things in life.

Oh god, I think I'm going to be sick... No... I may just get away with it, still I make my way to the bathroom as a kind of preemptive move, just in case.

More breaking news on the TV, Arab Spring kicks off again, I wonder what despot regime is crumbling now, as I turn and head away something about the city on the news looks familiar, is that? Nah, it can't be.

I make my way down to the toilet and get the shock of my life, there at the front door as white as a ghost is Michelle.

"Holy sh**e you scared me Shelly.... Jesus" I try to catch me own breath "Hey I didn't hear you come in. Wow you look like how I feel"

"kyle" she whispers barely audible.

"You want a cup of tea or something, don't ask for a rasher sandwich, not sure I could even look at food for the next 24 hours"

"kyle"

I hear her, but the thoughts of tea and a biscuit are too tempting

"I'll stick the kettle on, you see if we have anything sweet to dunk in it"

"KYLE"

Michelle's raised voice stops me, she's almost never raises her voice at me. She only does it when I'm doing something I shouldn't be. I turn and see tears streaming down her face.

"Shelly, what is it?"

At the time of writing I wasn't sure what was being exchanged between sparkthatbled & Noceone.

One or both could have been writing and or posting part 2 so it might have made what I was doing out of sync.

So who is working on part 3?

I wanna know what happens next!!

I'd try myself but what if people didn't like it? - I just don't know if I could take that kind of a rejection
