Futuristic BioGenesis: Surviving the Post Apocalypse

[Ashmorne]

Taking the drawn map from his hands, Lena inspected it closely. The drawn lines were filled with promise. She looked up with a small smile and opened her mouth to speak, but stopped when Christopher came in. His words were upbeat, then froze when he saw the evidence for what had transpired. Lena absentmindedly brought a hand to her stomach and then shrugged nonchalantly.


"Com guy. He was in here, and I didn't have my guard up. It's fine now. Don't worry about it," she waved a hand casually. "Did you find anything interesting?"


Lena folded the map that Derek drew in half, lowering it. The lightning outside crackled loudly. Her stomach growled, and the thought of food danced in the back of her mind. She reached into her pack and pulled out a wrapped cloth. Inside were dried berries and fruit. She picked out a dried piece of wild strawberry. Chewing on it silently.and waiting for a response, she offered out some of the fruit.

"You sure you're okay? For a moment I thought that crazy doctor finally showed his true colors." He sighed and approached Lena and Derek. "I just came from the dormitories, there's plenty of room for people over there, and they're full equipped. When coming back, I found a map! It was under a lot of rubbish, and I'm almost sure someone died on it, but this will be so useful! What is this? Oh, berries!" He got some and stuffed his mouth. "Sho, Apparentchly there'sh a greenhoush on the wesht, and a maintenansh room on the other shide of thish hall." He gulped down the berries and made a happy face. "Ah, so good! Anyway, There are several classrooms on the north as well, we might get some use with them. Maybe a storage place, or even more rooms. And look at this." He pointed out at the crossed out name of the university and what was scribbled under it. "BioGenesis. This must be the place you told me at Northbury." He placed the map at one of the empty beds near Lena. "There's also a pool here. Maybe this could dub as a resource depot?" He grinned at both residents. "This is what we all could hope for."

Connor came jogging up to the main entrance. From all the corpses lying about, it was safe to say everything was cleared out and rather quiet. And this place got him out of the rain. But never one to be unprepared, he unholstered his winchester and made sure it was loaded before entering. Upon entering, he immediately went about the buisness of scavanging. Hell, scavanging was what has kept him alive for so long in the apocolypse. That and not trustin many people.

He twisted and turned in his sleep as his mind reminded him of the past. He saw his mother with her ghastly white skin and wide open eyes. "Mom you need to sleep" he whimpered as he walked over the dusty apartment. As if out of a trance she looked up and produced a smile that seemed to take all her strength. "Oh you are to young to worry about that" she spoke softly. As the young Clockwise approached his mother outstretched her frail arm. He grabbed her hand and held it tightly feeling protected. As he closed his eyes he heard the sound of beeping. Upon opening his eyes he saw his mother battered and bruised with most of her face wrapped up in bandages as she laid on the hospital bed. He squeezed her hand with tears rolling down his eyes "I-I'm sorry I wasn't t-there.. to stop them. I'm so-" he said before he was cut off by his mother. She raised a weak smile and said with her voice gentle as ever "You are to young to worry about such things" He closed his eyes. The beeping stopped but not the tears.


He opened his eyes watching the casket be put into the ground. Fear over ran him as he ran to the casket screaming for them to stop. He fell to the dirt. Trying to get up he felt a drop of blood leave his mouth and land on the concrete floor of his school. Looking up he saw the three of them smirking. "Oh what is wrong mama's boy. Can't take a little hit. You are no better then that slut." taunted the ugliest of the three. Biting his lip he got up with his fist clenched as he attempts to hit back. His fist met a metal wall instead. He looked around at his old lab now almost abandoned. "Mr.Clockwise p-perhaps next time we will get the results we desire" uttered the intern in fear. He knew time was basically gone. He looked over to the intern but instead saw a mirror. As he walked towards it as lab faded away replaced with darkness. In the mirror was a man aged by stress rather then experience with ghastly white skin and wide open eyes. The face then became contorted with anger as Clockwise punched the mirror but it didn't shatter. He continued to stare at his reflection wanting to break it. He slowly saw his arm turn a yellow tinge and pulled back to scratch it. It got worse as he scratched as his skin fell away. Slowly yellow blisters started to flower on his skin and bloomed releasing their thick black sap. "Hungry so very hungry. Stay away stay away! Where is she!" were thoughts that bubbled in his mind but they were not his own. All the while he stated to laugh when his arm grabbed him by the throat.


His eyes opened wide as released a scream. He yanked out his pistol and shot a round into the dankness that rang throughout the decayed University. He was in a cold sweat as his breathing slowed down and tears stopped falling from his eyes. Panicked he yanked back the sleeve of his lab coat to find his arm intact. "I'm fine. I'm cured." he thought to himself.

Hearing the gunshots echo through the empty halls of the colledge, Connor raises his winchester and quickly scans any likely places Compromised would come from and/or people were hiding. Seeing nothing, he continues on. If someone was firing their bullets, that meant there was more for them to use. Perhaps he could take some for himself. Then again, a good aluminum bat was better. Silent, and he could set it on fire and not have to find a replacemet. Then again, setting the nails to hold the gas soaked rag in place was a hell of a lot harder to do.
