"Brenda, did you charge the car after the garage escape?"

"I... prioritized rapid extraction over charging protocols. We were fleeing undead Crossfitters."

02. The Death of the Prius

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

SYSTEM STATUS: SHUTTING DOWN.

We coasted. We crawled. We turned off the AC. We made it exactly 2.5 miles before the Industrial District swallowed us whole.

Location Detected

JOE’S SALVAGE & SCRAP - BEWARE OF DOG

03. The Junkyard King

> BARK DETECTED: [STATUS: ALIVE]

A massive Rottweiler named Buster. Sharp, angry, and definitely not a Zom Zom.

That's when we met Joe.

  • Contact: Joe
  • Equipment: Welding goggles, propane torch/leaf blower hybrid.

"If you try to eat me, Buster eats you," he announced by way of greeting.

04. Apocalypse Games

While we waited for the situation to develop, we needed a morale boost to keep the panic at bay.

  1. I Spy: "I spy with my little eye... Fire." (It was everywhere).
  2. Would You Rather?: Brenda chose laser vision because "hands are required for filing paperwork."
  3. The Quiet Game: Winner: Everyone. Lasted exactly 8 minutes until Dave asked if zombies poop.

CURRENT STATUS: WE NEED A NEW PLAN.
