Alex Ranovich _____________________________________________ The midday light filtered through the grimy window panes into one of the deserted hospital's many wards. A distinct stench of rotting flesh and dust hung in the air masking the faded smell of disinfectant. The ward on the second floor of the hospital was littered with overturned gurneys; the rotting bones of a former patient lay on the floor, blocking the path to the storage room. Alex slowly nudged the store room door open with the barrel of his rifle, checking making sure that there were no zombies inside. Sure that the coast was clear, he stepped over the body. As he did so, he attempted to think of a witty pun to distract himself from the unfortunate victim below him; but to no avail. Taking a final look around, he set his rifle on a shelf. He then began to search through the store room for anything that could be of value or use; medicine, drugs, bandages and the like.

It- he?- had put his weapon down. That meant it would be slow to get to it. Easy prey?
Dragging a broken foot behind her, a Shuffler sidled, ever so quietly, towards Alex.
Her nose was still intact, so she could smell his sweat from here. Her eyes- although in the beginning stages of decomposition- still worked. She was missing an ear, but she could still hear her potential prey breathing.
She reached the door of the store room, stopping as her other foot touched something on the floor. Ignoring it, she raised her arms and let out a chilling groan.

George Gardener George was hunting for some medical equipment traversing the artery like bloodstained passages. When he came across a Shuffler facing into a room who's groan caused an agonizing augmentation of his ear drums. He quickly dashed towards it using an upright gurney as a battering ram, with the bumpiest ride ever due to the mounds of bodies flooding the floor; and finally struck it in the pelvis. As he pinned it to a wall he noticed a man within the room the Shuffler was facing towards; who looked as if he was searching for something.

Alex Ranovich Alex jumped at the sound of the zombies bloodcurdling groan and span around to see a partially decomposed woman be sent flying by a speeding gurney. Grabbing his gun he raised it to his shoulder and aimed shakily towards the open door. "H...h.....hello", opening his mouth to speak he was cut short by the sound of muffled groans from another floor.

George Gardener George popped his head round the door, he layed eyes upon another human "Wow! someone who doesn't want to eat me, haven't seen one of you in a long time... you don't want to eat me, right?" he inquired. He too heard noises from another floor, but he just dismissed them as they were probably from another Shuffler and they are pretty damn slow.

Alex Ranovich "W...what, eat you? No, w...w..why would I want to eat you." Alex paused for a moment and rubbed his nose. "W..what are you d...d....doing here and who are you?" Alex jumped and looked towards the roof as a echoing crash was sent around the hospital and the shuffling got louder.

NPC Zombies
_______________________________
The shuffling steps on the floor above grew louder, and more numerous. Footsteps echoed up the stairs from the ward below.
On the same floor that the two men were on, there was a loud bang from a pair of slightly closed double doors at the end of the hall.
The doors were pushed open, and a Shuffler- in a doctor's uniform- fell out and tumbled head over heels. It groaned and slowly began to push itself up. A loud, spine chilling chorus of zombie-moans filled the hospital- a lot of which came from behind the doctor Shuffler that had fallen over.
As if on cue, a huge horde of Shufflers loomed out of the dark corridor beyond and moved towards the living pair before them with a slow, shambling gait. Some even fell over the doctor-Shuffler, adding to an odd groaning pile of flailing rotting limbs.

Alex Ranovich Alex jumped at the sound of the double doors being forced open and moved towards the door, peering around the frame and over the strange mans shoulder he saw the horde of shufflers ambling towards them. "Oh c..c....c.....c...crap!" Alex exclaimed as he rushed back inside the storeroom and proceed to throw random medical supplies into his bag. Returning to the doorway he looked toward the approaching zombies "W..we really need to g...get out of here", he looked at the man, "Are you coming or not?" Alex then began to jog slowly away from the zombies.

George Gardener Turning back for a brief moment, George caught a glimpse of the horde and decided the best means of action would be to run the other way. So he caught up with the stranger, and did not hesitate to introduce himself at this very in appropriate time; “Hi, I'm George, and who might you be?” he panted while still running.

Alex RanovichAlex skirted around a abandoned gurney and hopped over a section of broken tiles. He noticed George beside him when he introduced himself and nodded in acknowledgment, "N.....n...nice........to........meet...you" he gasped in between breaths. Turning a corner he stopped and leant against a wall with his hands on his knees and breathing heavily. After he had regained his breath he looked up to see if George had also stopped.

George Gardener Grinding to a halt George swung himself round the corner and collapsed on the floor in an exhausted heap. "So, you didn't answer me; Hi, I'm George, and who might you be?” he repeated with rasping voice, like that of an asthmatic nun on steroids.

Alex Ranovich Still breathing heavily Alex shook his head slowly, "Sorry about that. I'm Alex, thanks for taking out that zombie earlier; I owe you." Alex paused and peered back round the corner to see the proximity of the zombies, there weren't any in the corridor but he could hear them moving about and groaning. He turned back to George, "So, what were you doing in wandering around in here?"

George Gardener "I'm a doctor, well... was a doctor. Until this... honestly, you come on holiday to see the royal family, and all you get is a bunch of brain dead locals trying to give you their diseases; handing out flyers and trying to get you to buy useless crap. At least I can safely say that religion isn't as big as it is back home... that's a huge plus.” George said jokingly toward Alex. “And to answer your question rather than monologuing, supplies are great bargaining chips. So, why are you here?”

Alex smiled at Georges description of the waste land and it's inhabitants. "Coincidentally, i'm a doctor t..too, I used to be a physicist, but theres n...not much call for splitting atoms and the like, n...not when everyone's trying to eat you. I was here looking for supplies, i'm heading t...to a place called Haven or something and I figured i'd stop in here along the way and pick up some drug and bandages.

George Gardener "Haven you say." pondered George; “I've heard of that place, meant to be the safest place in the wastes, I don't see it being true myself. But as they say, nothing ventured - nothing gained. I think I'll join you on that one.” George grinned, “Besides you'll need a little help with carrying all the supplies we may need.” he smirked. George got up and carried on down the corridor away from the sounds of movement. “We better get a move on before they catch up.” He turned to ask “Are you coming or not?”
