Welcome, readers! Let me present to you, a collection of the apocalypse survivor's lore: The Survivor's Tales. Here, you may read others, as well as write your one stories and share them with the rest of the community here on the Zombie Pandemic forum. Before you start, here's a couple of rules you must follow:

1. Don't copy someone else's work, be imaginative.

2. You must somehow include zombies in your stories, and everything must happen in an area of the game. So your hero can't be sipping wine in a hotel in France, lads.

3. You may write several stories if you want to, but they can't be related to eachother in any way. It should be SHORT stories only.

4. As I said, SHORT stories only. Don't write a whole book and put it here.

That's all, good sirs. I wish you great success in your writing, and great pleasure in your reading.

À bientôt,

Zed Rayadon

many of the players already in a post hicienron mio in the previous forum. But I will join your post shortly upload a story I'm writing in diary style.

Yah Im thinking of a good story too. Just got to get a little time. So much to do... and so few hours in the night.

I was out of the "Zone 0" I found out that something was wrong and went to take my family out there: my parents and my little sister. Getting Around here was hell, the dead and undead everywhere, and when he found a dead Zombies, the silence was as if I devour the soul and heart. When I got home, was empty there was a voicemail: "If you hear this, but we all have gone to our relatives in New Jersey."
On hearing this, I calmed down, but something in me began to change ... A simple worker in a sad informatic post, had broken through to get here, and he was alive, which many could not say the same ... I had to help anyone who needed it. He was determined. My life had changed ...
I do not think that becomes a hero, nor do I pretend to, but saving lives is more rewarding than repair "General Failure Windows"

Time for my own little story!

Gordon pressed the gaspedal even further down. The truck accelerated up to 100 mph. He looked into the mirror. Yep, he had left the guy behind him. All he had to do now was to concentrate on the road and calm down, and everything should be alright...

After a while, he realised he was hungry. Gordon looked down. "Damnit", he thought for himself, "I've got nothing to eat here. Better go check the cargo." He stopped the truck and jumped out of the driver's seat. Then he went over to the end of the veichle and opened the cargo. It was a glorious sight for a survivor; full of shotguns, assault rifles, grenades, and even a Gatling gun; there was ammunition of all sorts, 12x70 Buckshot, 7.62x39mm sniper rounds, 9mm handgun cartridges, incendiary ammuntion; there was also tools lying all over the place, everything from crowbars to chainsaws. But the most valuable thing must have been the food. Canister after canister of various sorts of food were stocked up against the wall. There and there a little bottle of liqour would pop up. Gordon smiled. "Oh, this was worth it." He then started to go through the supplies, carefully deciding what to eat.

Derren looked through the scope. Yep, another survivor. He was just going to shout hello to the guy, when he saw him get out of the cargo holding... something. Derren increased the range of the scope by changing lenses in his hunting rifle. He looked into it again. "Well I'll be damned." Derren whistled quietly to himself. "Looks like someone had a lucky day and found a big ass supply." He hesitated. Would he really do this, just for food? His stomach growled, reminding him of what would happen if he didn't eat. He had seen, as well as experienced the effects of starvation, and what it ultimately lead to. Derren sighed, aimed carefully and pulled the trigger.

He ran up to the scene. The man he had shot was lying on the ground, with blood still pouring out of his head. Derren felt guilty. Now that he was here, standing right next to his victim, it all seemed so... wrong. He shouldn't be shooting people. Nobody should have to... He started to panic. He threw the door to the cargo shut, he'd investigate it later. Then he jumped into the cab of the veichle. The keys were still there. Good, he wouldn't have been able to get out again, to see that man, to see all that blood... He started the engine and drove away, eager to get away from there.

Derren pressed the gaspedal even further down. The truck accelerated up to 100 mph. He looked in the mirror. Yep, he had left the guy behind him. All he had to do now was to concentrate on the road and calm down, and everything should be alright...

Nice story .Like a damned truck which always lead to the death of the driver.The repeated sequence is THIS VERY THING in the story wchich makes it even more sceary. "Who will occupy the driver's sit next...?"As i said It is good short story.

@Zed Rayadon

Very fun story. You are Darren in this story? It really makes me feel bad for the guy on the ground. The guy Darren shoots. I couldn't ever shoot someone like that. I would have to let them attack me first. Not just standing there and letting them shoot at me of course, but Id have whisled out, and if they guy seemed aggressive, then Id shoot, or if he tried to flee, Id shoot at the cab of the truck to scare him. But I couldnt shoot them directly. Only if he ran and grabbed a gun and started pointing at me, then his ass is going down.

Zombies are a different story though... I shoot them just to pass time. xD

@ Seth
Not to search the 2nd bottom of the story too much ill say: this Maybe this Darren guy is so desperate? Like Hadnt eaten for days?Biology and phisiology and basic instincts at times of massive trauma do affect reasoning pretty much.Hence The movie "Alive" where a sports team members must eat the dead bodies of their dead fiends who died in a plane crash for the sake of thier own survival in The Andes mauntains.They Also Had doubds and fought with theis instincts not to do it.

Thanks for the feedback, folks!

Seth, you were wondering wether I was Derren in the story. That's incorrect, as I would most likely just ignore the guy or try to speak to him, but who knows? I might have done the same thing. You never know what effect starvation and loss of sleep will do to you.

I'm glad people liked the story. I wanted to do a kind of scary story that concerned a little less about the zombies, and more about what the apocalypse has lead to and its consequences (Kind of like how Romero made his movies. The zombies change things for humanity, but in the end, it's humanity itself that destroys themselves). The repeated sequence seemed like a good way to wrap it all up, so I went with that.

I might also consider making a new thread where I'd make a longer story with "chapters", that I could update now and then. Do you guys think this would be a good idea, or would this be to long to read?

Cheers! ~Zed Rayadon

I would read the stuff. Sometimes I zone out and lose focus if it starts to lose me, but for the most part (your story for example) were very interesting. I actually wanted another paragraph or two. I'd say go for it. The more fan stuff that gets on here, the more possibility for new ideas. Someone could get a quest idea, or a zombie idea from a story.

I'd say go ahead Zed & try it. Personally i like reading such stories of the post apocaliptic zombie genre. I know that zombies are a repeated theme BUT every time the theme is repeated (i.e shown) in a very different way. Try to listen to Zompod from darker projects u will see what i mean.
Anyway I will surely wait for the Story Zed. (either long or short ,doeasnt matter )

Best Regards & lots of inspiration.

Sweet, thanks for the support!

I'll try make it as soon as I can. And post your own stories here on the thread if you want to, there's nothing as inspiring to writer than to read other people's stories!

Sadly i do not have any story but i ve written a poem so maybe it should hit the public ?? who knows

Well, there is a zombie poetry thread...

Hehe I know I Know but i think it is crap, but if you want to torture your eyes ill post it in a little while.

Hm, I might make one story for a character based on my RL self and one based on my game self. My game avatar is in formalwear (I love my avatar! *squeeee*), so it would be interesting to invent a specific situation for that.
