Playing God Intro: Immortality For ages mankind has sought immortality. Early in mid-evil times Kings tried everything. From alchemy to potions it all failed. Now scientists are trying to reanimate corpses. Chapter 1- Reanimation One day Bridget, a scientist, tried to play god. She first got a dead body of an average man. She then replaced all the organs and added new blood. She then grabbed the defibrillator and tried to bring the corpse back to life. After a few shocks the corpse started moving. It was alive! However it was lifeless. All it could do was move and eat. Bridget kept this a secret at first. She fed it only fruit and vegetables and no protein. She was able to keep the corpse alive for a month before it became troubling. One day she began feeding it and it bit her finger. Then the corpse attacked Bridget and killed her. After a month neighbors began telling authorities that Bridget had gone missing. Then finally on June 26th, 2014 (1 month and 5 days after the corpse killed her) The cops went to investigate Bridget's house. At first all seemed normal until they went into the basement. As soon as the first cop went inside he was attacked by something and the cop was killed in an instant. The cops shot the unknown person till it collapsed. As they went to investigate it, the person got up and killed the second cop. The third cop, Brian, was left alone as he stood there speechless. He thought to himself "What on earth can take a bullet to the heart an not die?!". As Brian shined his flashlight on the person he was that its flesh was rotting. He screamed, dropped the flashlight and ran out of the house. He reported it to his superiors but it was too late. The epidemic was spread. Those reanimated corpses were given the term as zombies. Here is the story as told by survivors from their diarys. June 29th, 2014 5:00 AM (Brian) Today I found a barricaded police station. I ran to the door and tried to open it. However it was locked. I banged the door until someone looked through the eye piece. He looked at me and asked "Are you human?". I quickly responded "Yes, I am please let me in. I have some weapons and very little food." He then welcomed me to his town. His name was Larry. He was the leader of a small survivor group of about 10 people. They welcomed me in and took my food to the warehouse. They then asked me to be their lookout tonight. They said if any zombies, whom they called Zed, I should sound the bell and open fire. This night I saw nothing. As my shift was over I went into the barricaded mall and looked around. I found some pieces of paper and some ink. Using a small metal tube I made a decent pen. I am writing so that one day my tale will be told and no one will make the same mistake as the fool Bridget. June 30th, 2014 11:00 PM (Brian) Today I slept until about 10:00 AM. They just gave me a forth of a loaf of bread in the morning. After looking around in the village I found a graveyard. There were 4 gravestones. I could not understand what was written. I went to Larry and asked if there was anything to do. He told me to leave the city and scout the houses near the town for food and water. He told me the only way to kill the Zed were to shoot its brain or burn it to a crisp. I took a small pistol and 4 mags and binoculars. Before I left I grabbed my backpack and filled it with paper, my pen, ink, a water bottle, and my uncharged phone. As soon as I left the town I ran to the nearest house. I looked through my binoculars and saw a couple Zed. I turned around and ran to another location. This time I was near a McDonalds. I knew there had to be some food or water inside. I looked through my binoculars and saw no Zed. I placed them in my backpack grabbed my pistol and slowly made my way to the McDonalds. I saw one Zed and shot it on sight in the head. I shot once more to make sure it was dead. inside I found some rotten food. I went to the kitchen and looked around. I found some soda. I opened one and drank it. It seemed good and not expired. I placed as many as I can in my backpack and ran my way back to the town. As I was leaving I saw a couple Zed running towards me. I shot my entire clip into them killing most of them. After I managed to outrun the remainder. I then made my way to the town and showed them what I found. I think I gained some of their trust. That night a scientist approached me. His name was Jack. He told me they were trying to create electricity. Using this they can make a radio broadcast and get help. He also told me that only a forth of America was infected. Our area, California, had been closed to keep the Zed inside. If we can make electricity and tell others we are here we can be rescued. He also told me the crops are not sprouting anymore. We already sent a team to a mall 3 miles away from the town to find some fertilizer. Later he left and told me to excuse the others if they didn't trust me. After all I can't expect them to trust a random stranger so soon. Later that day some strangers by the name of "ZKS" (Zombie Kill Squad) rolled into town and helped us kill the zombies around the barrier. Then they left. Larry invited them to stay but they declined. They said "Hell we ain't killin these zombies for yal. We be killing these zombies for fun." Now I'ma call it a day. Hopefully we will be rescued and our team will come back with fertilizer. Updates: *Added day 2! *Made Titles EDITS ( In progress): *I'm editing first day ATM updated version will be up tomorrow!
Re: Playing God Brian was let into the city from the main gates which was the police station. Thats to avoid some confusion.
Re: Playing God It's a year old so I got to remember how to finish it also i'ma revise the first day.
Re: Playing God Here is day 2. After I finish all the days I will make a new thread with the entire story and turn this one into the feedback. Enjoy.
