Before the outbreak he had just become a father, but when the outbreak hit his wife was one of the first to be infected. He came home to find the police outside. officer Dunlop, the commanding officer in town came up to him, they were friends.
"what is it?" kelvin had asked,
but officer Dunlop just shook his head,
"whats going on Cameron, tell me" fear was in kelvins voice, what had happened?
In a trembling voice officer Dunlop told him. His son was dead, his wife disappeared and his house wrecked. just then some hunters came up to officer Dunlop. telling him how back in the woods, they had accidentally shoot a woman, mistaking the movements in the undergrowth for that of a deer.
at this he went into mourning, and isolated himself from everyone(everyone, except his sons hamster whom he found hiding in the house among the wreckage) both his son and wife were now dead, he was all alone.
but his isolation probably saved his life, as shortly after, the outbreak swept through his town, nearly everyone was infected, and those who weren't quickly fell victim to the ones who were.
after a while, only kelvin was left untouched (unknown to him). and driven by their hunger the infected broke into his house, at first kelvin didn't understand or realize what was going on, what were all these people doing here? but when he looked into the dead eyes he knew something wasn't right, he lunged forward, dodging past the zombie-like trespassers. not knowing what to do, he ran for his car... and stopped.
he couldn't believe it, at least half the town standing there. and among then, officer Dunlop, but something was different,
"Cameron help! whats going on?" but Cameron just stared at him from over the road, it was then the kelvin noticed something horrifying. half of Cameron's face was Missing!! the flesh was torn away, revealing bone, and his eyes, the same dead eyes as those kelvin had seen earlier, stared into kelvins, with unmasked hunger.
The only thing that snapped kelvin out of that horrid stare was a crash coming from behind him, then everything happened at once,
kelvin lunged for the car,
while at the same time all the infected townspeople came at him.
He slammed the keys in the ignition and pushed the pedal to the floor, hitting two people... well ex-people, he went flying down the road, he decided to quickly grab some supplies, and weapons, he can drive alot faster then all those... people, can walk.
Unfortunately he could not find much ammo for the guns he has taken, and had to waste 7 rounds on infected people who were left behind in town. After getting everything he floors it down the road out of town and doesn't slow down the slightest till the town is completely out of sight.
days later he finds himself in a different town. seeing the occasional infected person, but never stopping to say hello, he finds shelter hauled up in a building across a few blocks from some warehouses, he has bared the door shut, so with nothing to do but talk to the hamster he decides that it is safe enough that he can catch up on some much needed sleep.
'what is it dear?', says kelvins wife, Sahara, 'nothing' he replies, 'nothing at all' as he stares into her eyes is notices the calls of birds just out side, so relaxing... CRASH!.. what was that!? he looks around.. everything is normal, he looks back at his wife, it is as if she didnt hear a thing, then the bird song is replaced by gun fire.. what is going on!!? he turns back to his wife, and finds Cameron Dunlop stairing back at him, the eyes, all to familiar now, and as he looks in horror, yet for some reason unable to turn away, Camerons face begins to rot, the flesh melting away from bone...
He awakens, groggily, "no, Sahara..." more gun fire stirs him even more, he then remembers... shes dead, and so is his son, and well as everyone in his town, and Cameron. then a terrible roar, kelvins sits bolt upright, all trace of sleepiness is gone now, he finds him self very alert
after listening for a while longer, his mind seems to turn it self on again. He looks out the window to see more infected walking through the streets, though these ones seemed more coordinated then the others so far, all heading to one place. suddenly he hears an explosion come from the apartment block a few block's down the street. Either the infected are using explosives now, not likely, he thinks to himself they want to eat you, not blow you to pieces, or there are other people over there, and better still, not infected people! "what do you say boo? lets go find ourselves some friends" he starts on his way down, but pauses..
"did i just see... nah it couldn't have been, your just imagining things... it would have been atleast.. 13 feet!... pah! your just imagining things after that dream, just forget about it"
still.. he thought to himself. He walked forward, on guard, just in case.
he pulled out the bar he had used to block to entrance, and got all his things, but as he was stepping out, he stumbled into a group of shamblers. he fired the remaining bullets in his rifle, and used the hand gun to dispatch the last one, unfortunately the noise attracted the attention of other infected humans, so it was going to be tough to get to the other people, he decides to see if he can find an alternative route...
OOC: there now I have a background, and am set up to join in the story... at the right moment of course
