"To your left" I shouted to Rosco, ducking as a spray of bullets flew around me. Rosco jumped over rotting structures as hordes of zombies chased him. In one fatal move, he tripped and a rancid zombie bit into him. I looked around for something to save him. This weirdly shaped glass bottle, with a cork stopper, filled with a blue liquid popped up. What in the world is this? I don't have time for this. Rosco is dying. A faint red bar above his head was slowly diminishing.
 
A label on the bottle said the words "Health. Drink me". This is so weird but worth a shot" I said out loud. I put the bottle to Rosco's lips and watched as the bar above his head filled up. Rosco's eyes slowly opened. "W-what happened?" he asked. "I don't know" I said. "But we need to get out of here before we get attacked by more zombies".

As we were running through the woods we came across a house. I looked around and noticed that night was falling. "Let's camp here Jeff" said Rosco. "Good idea" I said. We walked in the house and noticed food on the stove and two wooden chests on the floor. I walked over to it and went to open it up. "No. Don't do that. You don't know what's in there" Rosco shouted. "It won't be that bad" I said. I opened the first chest cautiously. It glittered with gold. The second chest was filled with various weapons including guns, clubs, axes, bow and arrows, crossbows and a rocket launcher. "Jackpot!" I said.

I looked around for Rosco only to find him stuffing his face with the food on the stove. "Rosco, what are you doi.."I get cut off by the house shaking and rumbling. Then the shaking stops and everything goes quiet. All the sudden the roof gets ripped off and a 15 feet zombie looked in. "Rosco get the weapons" I yelled. The zombie reached in as if to grab one of us to eat us. I grabbed on of the axes and chopped it hand off. "Get the rocket launcher Rosco" Rosco launched it at the zombie. The zombie fell. "Yes" I shouted. "You guys better get out of here and take those weapons with you" a voice said, coming out of the woods. A tall blonde girl stepped out of the trees. "Who are you?" Rosco asked. "Not important right now" said the girl "What's important right now is that we get out. This isn't my first rodeo with zombie giants. Once knocked down they turn into a horde of zombies. And guessing by that loud boom as the zombie fell, we don't have much time. So, it's either run or fight and I'd say run. You're looking at about a hundred of them flesh eaters." Just as she said that the giant started splitting apart. "Run" yelled Rosco.

After running for what seems like a century we were finally in the clear. "I think that the only way that we can be safe is to build an underground shelter" said the girl. "Thank you for the help and all but we still don't know who you are" Rosco reminded her. "Right" the girl said. "My name's Vanessa." "Nice to meet you" exclaimed Rosco. "Well Vanessa is right. We should build an underground shelter. It's our best chance at survival. The zombies are too dumb to get down there. Especially since zombie giants have come into play" I said. "Well I have one way that the zombie giants stay down without turning into a horde. There's a clearing of bushes with berries that for some reason keep them down. However, they're on the other side of the mountains" Vanessa explained. "Considering that it's a far journey" I said, "we should probably camp for the night". As I looked around I noticed that yellow bars above Vanessa and Rosco showed up. It started lowering and as it did they started getting noticeably sleepy. Something is going on and it doesn't seem right.
