Eric didn't care what the news said, he was getting the hell out of Memphis. Bravery wasn't exactly his strong suit, and he'd rather live to see another day in New York or something than to stay in his home. 'I'm not particularly attached to this town anyway' he thought, stuffing a small radio into a simple college backpack. He added some granola bars, bottles of water, and a few books he thought might be useful, and made his way down the apartment stairs to the outside. He didn't look prepared in the slightest, truth be told. A simple shirt and jeans wouldn't stop a bite or scratch, or whatever the hell spread the virus. He knew how zombies worked in the movies, and nothing had really been released that contradicted this. 'You shoot them in the head, you die, you zombify.' He stopped, annoyed that the damn government mantra from a month ago had indeed found its way inside his head. He shook his head and continued toward the parking garage; and that's when he heard the scream. "It got in! Put it down! Put it down!" The switchblade was in Eric's hand in an instant, but he didn't know where the commotion was coming from, and he wasn't about to wait around and find out. He took off running down the road toward the garage that contained his car.
LOS ANGELES OVERRUN The city of Los Angeles no longer exists today, as the North-Western horde overwhelmed local police and National Guard soldiers in Southern California. There is currently no word on the number of survivors, but officials urged those who remained to evacuate. Washington is now considering whether it is in the best interest of the country to apply nuclear control options upon lost cities, but critics say that this will only result in killing any living people left in the regions. Senator Jorrison, R, AZ, maintains that the best option is to abandon the west. "Los Angeles was the last major city to hold out our way, now that it's gone, who's there to worry about? A bunch of walking corpses, that's who. I've already begun to urge President Malcom to deploy the full force of the US military to stop the horde in the Midwest, before it forces it's way through the east." Several Senators are in agreement, but the President remains staunchly opposed to blanket military intervention.
ZOMBIE FORCASTS In the Northeast, New York city continues to withstand the siege of the Great Canadian Horde, and maintains a supply line with Washington D.C. Virginia, the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, and Eastern halves of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Arkansas are currently considered safe. Texas maintains it's foothold in Dallas, Austin, and Fort Worth. The Southern Horde continues to wander through Louisiana, and the Air Force continues to bomb it in an effort to reduce its size. Other safe cities include Chicago, St. Louis, and our own Memphis has nearly completed its fortifications and is considered the last fortress in Western Tennessee.
