RPOTW 2

First of, Kairu and I would like to take this time to congratulate Desert Warrior for being the winner of the first RPOTW. His submission rose above the rest in all aspects of the grading and was clearly deserving of winning. We'd also like to thank everyone else who signed up as well. You all did spectacular. But now it's time to get down to the business at hand. Once again, we'd like to present to you RPOTW. This week it's brought to you by me, Icarus. Time to get down to it.

The wind outside howls violently as the storm rages. You had been walking the whole day and you finally decided to take shelter in the Monroeville Mall. It had been 2 weeks since the initial outbreak of the virus. Since then many people had died but countless others were born again. Many thought that the zombie apocalypse was just something that was conjured up by the minds of Hollywood but now the minds of Hollywood were part of their sadistic thoughts.
“It all seems so long ago.” You speak low, still cautious if there are any more zombies inside of the mall itself. The light above flicker and you tense up. This whole cycle has been going on for about 2 hours and every time it has gotten worse. You’re ready for anything and hold the small Browning High Power you were able to find before you left home. You have a full clip as well as a 3 more in your backpack which on the floor next to you. But you know that sooner or later you know you’re going to run out. You shudder and clench your knees.
The lights flicker once again but you’ve grown used to this. They continue to flicker for an unusually long time and finally, tired with the cycle they have been going through for what seems ages, finally die out.
The buzz from the entire mall died and only the sound of the wind continued. Then it hits you. The power was out. That meant everything was dead. All the lights. The air. And the locks on the door. You know you have to get out of this place in order to survive.

Inspired by Dawn of the Dead. Here’s your objective. You take coverage in the Monroeville Mall after a long day of walking. You are protected from the zombies by the doors that only open when electricity is running. The lights go out in the middle of the night during a storm. You have to get out of the mall in order to survive. Now you can decide what store you are in and how you look and such. I’ve also given you a weapon. The only thing I don’t want is you going into a gun store and getting more bullets. Please don’t do that because it would sort-of defeat the purpose. You are allowed to find other weapons but do keep in mind that you are in a mall. Keep your surroundings in mind while you are responding. Now find an exit as the doors won’t hold up for long and the zombies will make their way in.
You have until Friday. Good luck.
