    Default Zombie Apocalypse - Interest Check

    [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

    A male voice begins to speak. The voice is muffled slightly, as if the speaker is turned away from the microphone.

    “Listen, uh. My name is Earl Jacobs. I’m 45. I have two daughters. Had. I had two daughters. I’ve, uh, I’ve been holed up in this cabin for the last five years. Before that I was a mechanic. Can’t use cars anymore. Nothing with an engine. Too loud. Noise attracts them. The, uh, the creatures. They used to be human, but not anymore. There used to be more of us. God, there used to be more of us. On a grander scheme, too, I guess. Not anymore.

    The monsters got them. Tore them apart with their teeth and their hands. It’s funny, I guess. How someone like Rick used to be unable to open a bag of chips without it exploding, but now he can rip open a man’s ribcage like it’s nothing. Y’know, I always used to love nature documentaries? I was always rooting for the predator. When a lion or a bear or a hyena or whatever, when it got the antelope, they’d always show the pack eating together. It was so cute to see a little baby wolf or something gnawing on a bone. Now I root for the prey. That’s what we are now. Prey. Humans used to be top of the food chain, even when we didn’t have strength or speed or claws or fangs. But I guess if you give all that stuff to a human and turn off their higher reasoning, they still do just fine.

    Uh. Anyways. I don’t know if anyone will find this. As far as I know, I’m the last person on Earth. It’s lonely. But on the off-chance someone does, I’ll explain some things. The United States Government only took 2 months to collapse. From what I’ve heard, we were the first. The original domino that toppled the whole world, I guess. Near the end, everyone started getting nervous. China, Russia, North Korea, all the bigwigs started shooting off nukes. It was easier to blame someone else than accept the fact that it was pure bad luck that this shitshow got started. It was bad luck, by the way.

    The virus, or the bacteria, or the parasite, or whatever it is that turns people into monsters, came down in a meteorite. It hit some little town in Wyoming, and then suddenly the world is ending. The CDC tried to get us all to quarantine, but people are stupid. Nobody would listen. I guess that did us in, in the end. Bad luck mixed with stubbornness, delivered on a silver platter.

    (A loud banging noise is heard, followed by several groans)

    Ah. Guess they made it through the wall after all. Listen. I ain’t got much time left. The plague, it doesn’t just kill you. It brings you back to life, or some dark perversion of it. Like cordyceps, or that wasp that eats caterpillars. It turns you into a mindless animal that doesn’t tire, doesn’t stop. They look. They listen. They can smell you. It took a lot of trial and error to figure out where their senses stopped. They don’t rot. It keeps them together long enough to find a new host, I guess.

    (The groans grow louder, and the pounding grows more intense. Glass breaks)

    Fuck. Don’t let them touch you. Don’t touch their blood. And for God’s sake, don’t let them bite you. A good shot to the head should do them in. But be careful. Make double, extra goddamn sure. If possible, remove the head entirely. They don’t feel pain. They burn easy but it doesn’t do anything. The Doc, before he disappeared, said they’re changing. They’re evolving. Into what, I don’t know.

    (A loud crash is heard. The speaker’s voice moves away from the microphone, and a gun is cocked)

    Son of a bitch. You want me? Come and fucking get me! I’m right here!

    (A gunshot, followed closely by another)

    (A scream)

    (Weakly) Carol… Annabel… I’m sorry…

    (The sounds of gnashing teeth and meat being torn)

    I'm interested if you wouldn't mind a mysterious merchant.

    People will always need stuff they don’t have, especially when supply lines are broken up. Gladly!

    I'm still trying to think of a type of currency, but I think I got it pretty well figured out.

    Most towns barter with the most valuables: food, water, medicine, and ammunition

    I'm thinking the most popular currency could be bullets, so I have developed the unit known as a "hand."
    A hand basically means five of something, for example 3 hands of bullets would be 15 bullets, and this can also apply to other items as well.
