It starts in a dark room showing the outside at peace
THE BOSS:
America, a place of freedom. Nobody has too much trouble, unless gun’s get used. The perfect spot for a zombie outbreak is it not?
THE BOSS:
But don’t worry! You might also have heroes, heroes who save the day. You might not know it yet, but these kids, they are something else.
?:
And, how should I trust that? I thought we needed extra security around there, why suddenly the change of heart?
THE BOSS:
Look, this is the first time ever this happened. Can’t we have fun with them?
?:
I would like to know who they are first.
THE BOSS:
So you're in?
?:
Just tell me, you know I can just terminate them if I wanted to. I can figure out everything.
THE BOSS:
Okay, okay you don’t need to threaten me.
THE BOSS:
Kruger, one of the most… interesting one’s. He was a former pharmacist, he went to America to settle in and retire. He and I have spoken before, hence why I asked for this conversation.
?:
What input could he have in the entire situation?
THE BOSS:
He is a genius. As we speak he might’ve found a cure. I know from personal experience that he could be more than capable of curing at least 80% of the zombies currently wandering around.
?:
And the others?
THE BOSS:
I don’t know much about the others, just the smaller details. But considering Kruger chose them means something.
THE BOSS:
Minx and Mark, the genius twins of a billion dollar company. They were abused and were only tasked to clean. They got paid illegal amounts of money to keep it secret. The price of one meal.
?:
Is there more?
THE BOSS:
Yeah.. One dude, he is the most… hidden one.. I barely could find anything, except for when he broke into the company that rejected him.
?:
Interesting.. Should we be cautious?
THE BOSS:
So far, he seems safe
The mc woke up shocked at his alarm going off.
Mc:
Ugh… again?... dude i am getting tired of this shit..
He opens his door and goes downstairs where his brother is sitting on the dining table with a drink in his hand the mc ignores him and grabs something out the fridge, when the mc tries the close the door the brother lays on the fridge door.
Brother(drunk):
You (burp) cahn’t (burp) grab any(burp)thing out the firgeeeee!
The brother falls asleep on the fridge door
Mc (to himself):
Ugh.. he can’t be a good brother for once can he? Did he forget what day it is…?
He look into the calendar, revealing he is applying for a job at a computer company. Then he is sitting in the office with another guy.
Guy:
Why would you want this job?
Mc:
I uhh.. I am very used to computers.
Guy:
You do know that you will be cleaning and giving people drinks a well right? Are you okay with that?
Mc:
Uh, yeah! I have some experience working as a waiter.
Guy:
And when was that?
The mc nervously shrugs
Guy:
I am sorry, but i don’t think i can give you a job here if you can’t do simple tasks like that. I recommend trying to get some experience with those tasks and applying again later. It’s not said that you could get the job, but you can always try again later.
While he talks its muffled and the main character focuses on two kids (the twins) getting beaten up in the background, with a bucket and mop on the floor, they get dragged away with their hair and then he quickly looks at the guy again.
Guy:
Are you even listening?
Mc:
Oh yeah! Of course.. Uuh. meet again when i have more experience right?
Guy:
That’s right?..
Mc:
Okay, have a nice day. Is it okay if i look around a bit? I am confident i can get the job later, and want to check out the building.
Guy:
Uhh.. no sorry, only employees can go in the office. Our boss doesn’t like people interfering with our work like it’s a tourist attraction.
Mc:
Okay, i will be going then, have a nice day!
The mc walks out and goes home. He starts running to his room while his brother is still sleeping on the floor. Once he’s in his room he throws his calendar and is mad.
Mc:
Why can’t i get one fucking job! I want to get out of this shithole!
He starts crying as he remembers what he saw.
Mc:
Wait… those kids.. Are they okay..? No i can’t interfere… i might have seen it wrong…
He gets on his bed and sleeps, eventually leading up to a him dreaming about the situation with those kids.
The twins are both cleaning and having fun with each other.
Minx:
Hey bro, look at this..
Mark:
Huh? What?
Minx shows a fake spider and mark trips.
Mark:
WWWWWHAT IS THAT?!
Minx:
Sheesh mark, are you that afraid of spiders?
Mark:
N-no! Not at all!
He walks back and drops a bucket and a mop. The water from the bucket hits an employee.
Employee:
EEEK!!! HOW COULD YOU?! I AM THE BOSS’S BEST EMPLOYEE REMEMBER! I CAN GET YOU MISTAKES OUT OF HERE!
The boss of the company (not THE BOSS character.) appears behind him.
Company boss:
Ohh..? what’s wrong my best employee.. Are these pests messing with your day?
Employee cries and hugs the boss, the kids get terrified
Mark:
I-IT WASN’T ON PURPOSE!
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
A fist wakes the MC up and he breathes heavily.
Mc:
No.. i can’t let those kids suffer.. Not like i did.
The mc runs out of his room, puts on a jacket and goes to the company he applied for. While hesitating he decides to go inside the company. (the entrance has a medical store near, which you have to walk into to go to the employee zone
Kruger:
Hello, how can i help–
The mc walk past him and goes trough the door.
Kruger:
Ah. must be one of those new employees. I hope they’ll have a “fun” time like the rest.
A guard walks up to kruger.
Guard:
Anything bad?
Kruger:
Nah, it’s just an employee, don’t be so paranoid mate.
He is now near the boss of the company’s room.
Mc (in his head):
Why is this so easy? I thought considering it’s so famous they would be more careful. Well i am not complaining.
The mc grabs a camera that’s live streaming and opens the door.
Mc (in his head):
Phew!... he’s not here, okay..
He places it hidden on the boss’s desk. You hear people talking and the mc quickly sneaks away. He’s back at the medical store.
Kruger:
Oi mate! I didn’t expect ya to be done so quickly? Did you forget anythin’?
Mc (nervous):
Uuh! Yeah.. i did….!
He runs outside towards his home.
Guard:
Are you sure he works here?
Kruger:
Ehh. i don’t care, i don’t get paid enough to do check-ups.
Later the mc is in his home on his pc looking at the stream, nervously.
Mc:
Come on… come on.. There they are!
You see the screen and it reveals the twins and the boss going into the room, the boss is holding the twins by their hair.
The company boss:
Now which one of you, little SHITS DID THIS?!
The boss has a broken cup in his hand.
The company boss:
You do know your sweet mother made this, RIGHT?!
Minx:
We are sorry.. We didn’t know it would drop–
The company boss:
Yeah?, you didn’t know? So if i grab this, YOU WOULDN’T KNOW EITHER?!
The boss grabs the camera and looks into it.
Mc:
Ohh.. shit…..
The company boss:
I am comin’ for you! You fucking traitor!.
The camera cuts off and the mc freaks out.
Mc:
Crap.. crap … CRAP!! I NEED TO GO!!
He fills a bag with clothes, money and food and runs outside.
Mc:
I am sorry bro..
—------------TIME SKIP—------------
brother through the phone:
Hey, bro! Are you okay? I have been busy.. I know… and it might’ve made you upset.. Look, I just want to apologise.. Please come back home…
MC:
God, I love listening to him being depressed, as he should.
He turns on the television.
News reporter:
The virus that spread all across America has been cured! Recent reports have confirmed that more than 97% of the people who did get infected survived, though the 3% sadly did not. But don't worry! Their family members are being informed, and as of the time being we shall pray for them..
MC:
Fuckin’s liars.
The main character walks outside and grabs his bag.
You see an apocalyptic America.
MC:
Cured my ass.
He walks around and suddenly gets attacked.
He shoots the zombie. After brushing off the blood he walks towards an apartment complex which looks very clean and safe, it has a lot of protective gear and such covering it.
He grabs a card and swipes it on the door
You hear a radio and it cuts to a voice
Kruger:
Who’s this?
Mc:
It’s me.
Kruger:
Who is “me”, i don’t think i would be able to confirm who you are if i don’t-
Mc:
JUST OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR ASSHOLE
Kruger:
Ya won’t even let me have fun huh.
Mc:
I AM NOT IN THE MOOD JUST OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!
Kruger:
Nah, if ya act like that i won't even consider.
Mc:
Then I'll just let myself in.
Kruger sighs and opens the door.
he goes inside and now mc’s in the elevator with a coworker called Mark.
Mark:
Oh, hey! How are you–
Mc:
Shut up.
Mark:
Okayyy……–
They just awkwardly stand in the elevator as it goes down Mark nervously stands up and down while the mc is just standing with his hands in his pockets.
They are now in the main lab, the basement. The elevator opens and it reveals a girl called Minx, the twin sister of Mark.
Minx:
Took you guys long enough.
Mark:
Exactly slow-poke!
Minx:
Nobody asked you anything Mark. Besides, YOU were late as well.
Mark:
But…
Minx:
No buts.
Kruger sighs and turns on a television.
THE BOSS:
You guys got anything? Any new news?
Kruger:
Uh.. well..
THE BOSS:
You can’t be fucking serious….
Mark:
We can explain!
THE BOSS:
Okay, explain.
Mark:
…..
THE BOSS:
Thought so. Now listen closely.. If you guys keep doing nothing.. I’ll kick you guys out and let you guys get eaten personally.
THE BOSS hangs up and they all just stare at the screen.
Mark:
You guys heard that didn’t you—
Everyone else:
SHUT UP DIPSHIT!
Mark:
…fine..
Minx:
Kruger, considering the boss trusts you.. A lot, can’t you figure out some way to let us just… relax?
Kruger:
Ya sayin’ your weak?
Minx:
Not that. I just don’t feel like bothering in trying when there is THESE DIPSHITS DOING NOTHING!
Mc:
WHO ARE YOU CALLING A DIPSHIT?!!!
Minx:
ALL OF YOU!
Mc:
WHY DON’T YOU FUCKING LEAVE THEN BITCH!
Minx:
AND YOU THINK I HAVE A CHOICE?! PATHETIC YOU ARE.
Mc:
SAYS THE ONLY BITCH HERE!
Mark:
Guys… now is not the time–
Minx and Mc:
FUCK OFF MARK!
Mark:
Okayy…… sorry–
Kruger walks towards both of them and punches them both
Kruger:
SHUT YA FUCKIN’ MOUTHS! YOU GUYS BITCHFIGHTING DOES NOT HELP.
They both do an angry sigh, sit down and look the other way.
Kruger:
Now, as yall just heard, we are fucked. But I might've found a way to save us..
Minx:
And that is?..
Kruger:
Invading one of the *AOGSF’s* bases.
*Agency of general safety foundation, it’s run by the government.*
Mc:
Why? Are we gonna have a tea party or something?
Kruger:
Not even close..
Minx:
Shooks, I wanted one.
Mc:
Nobody asked for your input.
They stare at each other with eyes of death.
Kruger:
Enough! Let me just finish.
Kruger:
Like I said: my idea was to invade one of the AOGSF’s bases.
He grabs a suit and puts it on the table.
Kruger:
The boss gave us this recently, i didn’t know what it meant, but when I looked closely it was a government certified suit. In theory if one of us wears this, they’ll let us in. and that’s where Minx comes in.
Minx sighs angrily.
Minx:
Why can’t dude do it?
Kruger:
Because you're good at deception.
Minx pouts.
Minx:
Fine.
Kruger:
Let me continue, when Minx gets to the base we need some backup if it goes south, so I think Mark should apply for a job as a cleaner to distract most of them. BEFORE ANYONE COMPLAINS THAT DUDE*’S DOIN’ NOTHIN’, he’ll have the task to grab the stuff i need. Specifically to make a bug to compromise their systems.
*mc's temporary name
Mc:
Yay…
Kruger:
Also, Minx, go with em for potential backup.
Minx:
WHY ME?!
Kruger:
Because im gettin’ fuckin’ tired of you bitches fighting.
Minx:
Ugh.. i don't wanna, it’s his fault anyways!
Kruger:
Just go.
They are now in a computer store. MC is searching as Minx is just standing in a bored pose.
Minx:
Ughh….. Why do we even need to do this..
Mc:
Shut up, you aren’t even doing anything lazy ass.
Minx:
Well you are the one that forgot what to search for!
Mc:
Minx, you can't even remember it yourself.
Minx:
…uhh… well..
Mc sighs
Mc:
Told you so.
Minx:
DON'T ACT ALL COOL AND SHIT!
Mc (to himself):
Like she is..
He continues searching, while minx is searching in her pockets.
Minx:
Guess what i found?, dipshit.
Mc:
WHAT?! I ALMOST FOUND IT!
Minx:
And what were you searching for?
Mc:
I DON’T KNOW BUT I AM THIS CLOSE! I KNOW IT!
Minx:
Look, this may have worked back then, but trust me. You are really not that cool.
Minx throws a notepad at him
Minx:
Or that smart.
Mc looks at the notebook and gets pissed.
Mc:
How long did you have that?....
Minx:
I don't know, if you ASKED ME FOR IT FIRST I COULD’VE GIVEN IT.
Minx walks away pissed as the mc reads what it says.
“Find at least four high-end microphones with water resistance, and 3 (also water resistance) cameras.” Then suddenly, you hear a scream in the background. The mc runs towards the screaming only to reveal a family getting attacked by zombies.
Mc:
What THE FUCK is going on?!
Minx is with them.
Minx:
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE FUCK-FACE!
Mc:
Oh, hey.. Look who’s in need of help now…. (holds back laughter)
Minx:
OR YOU COULD JUST COME HERE??
Mc:
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO THAT HUH?! I AINT GOT SHIT TO THROW OR USE AGAINST THEM!! DO YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD JUST FUCKIN JUMP DOWN FOR YOUR SAKE!!??
Minx (Guilt tripping):
Whatever, I will just die. I suppose you helping me and my idiot brother back then was just for your satisfaction.
Mc:
FINE I AM COMING DOWN!!!
Minx:
Took ya long enough.
The Mc goes into an elevator slowly and then running towards the zombies.
Mc:
OI!! YOU IDIOTS!! I AM FREE FRESH MEAT!! IGNORE THE OTHERS!!!
The zombies look behind them and then run after the mc, the mc runs away in a chase scene with the zombies getting outplayed by his maneuvers. The mc is scared.
Mc:
Fuck FUCK FUCK!!!!!
Mc:
YOU DIDN’T TELL ME IT WAS THIS MANY!!!!
Minx is shrugging in the background while he continues running away, until he is outside surrounded by them. You hear Kruger and an airplane in the background, with Kruger being disappointed.
Kruger:
Yall just can’t ever be heroes can ya?
He grabs the mc and throws a grenade and smoke bomb onto the ground.
Back in the Complex.....
They are all sitting down: kruger, minx, mc, mark and the survivors.
Mark:
….who are these people?...
Minx:
Isn’t it obvious?
Mark:
…no?
Minx:
They are survivors dicknut.
Mark:
O-oh… okay..
Mark:
What should we do with them?..
Mc:
Well isn’t it obvious, kill them!
Mark:
WHAT?! EXCUSE ME?? THESE ARE CLEARLY PEOPLE IN NEED OF HELP!!
Minx:
For just once in my life I agree with mark.
Kruger:
What a revolution. Now I have a great idea for them!
father :
D-don't we have a say in this?...
Kruger:
Ya wanna die?
Father:
….n-no….
Their now all in a farm inside the basement. It has chicken, pigs and wheat.
Kruger:
Now, isn’t this swell! We needed food, so why not make a farm!
The rest of the characters sigh.
We are now in a dark office somewhere unknown...
?:
New info yet?
THE BOSS:
Certainly. They have a farm now.
?:
WHAT THE FUCK?!
THE BOSS:
Yeah.. it’s a long story but those idiots won't be useful anytime soon.
?:
So we just kill em?
THE BOSS:
Naahhh, we let them stay alive for a while, considering he… might be useful.
THE BOSS points towards Kruger
