Somehow I survived the last day, and I can thank a canteen and Tonya for my miserable life. Shortly after I was kicked out of the Silverthornes camp and robbed of all my gear, I wandered into the forest to find shelter. With nothing but the clothes on m...

2020-03-15 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostIn our last poll, you selected a National Guard medical tent for an area to search at the airport. I forgot to add an option for the airport lounge, so that will be included as well.

I'm currently writing a scene in which the group meets more of the River Dogs, another group of survivors in the area. This poll will help select one of their members.
In our last poll, you selected that a fire from the explosion spreads to other planes, threatening more explosions and setting the terminal on fire.
In this poll, we will decide on an area or object for the group to search while the fire burns at the terminal and until infected arrive.

2020-01-17 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostIn our last poll you selected the first obstacle the group must face when they arrive at the airport. An airplane crash lands just as the group arrives. The explosion brings zombies to the site. It will take a while for the zombies to get there, giving the MC's group time to react and scavenge. 2020-01-13 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View Post
