Description
*Sean is sitting at a table, in what appears to be a basement room. He's writing in a notebook*

Sean (Writing): - And that's the story. I just hope tha- *He is cut off by Derek (Human Derek) Slamming open the door to the basement room. He runs down the stairs*
Derek: HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY SEAN!
Sean: Jeez dude! You scared me!
Derek: Eh, a lot scares you nowadays. Come on, I have a present for you!
Sean: Woah, really?
Derek: Yeah, here it is! (He hands Sean a huge present. Sean opens it up.*
Sean: It's... It's empty. Dude. What the hell?
Derek: It's not empty, there's a key in the bottom.
Sean: Oh, I see it. So... What does it unlock?
Derek: THE WEAPONS CLOSET! I've been collecting them for awhile now. *They walk over to the closet* Take your pick dude!

*The closet is lined with missile launchers, grenade launchers, RPGs, Chemical throwers, semi automatic weapons, automatic weapons, shot guns, revolvers, pistols, knives, grenades, bombs, swords, and an assortment of other weapons*

Sean: Jeez dude. I mean... JESUS! How the hell...
Derek: I snuck 'em in when you were sleeping.
Sean: Well, these are great and all, but what use are they?
Derek: For your birthday party of course!
Sean: What? Are you crazy?!
Derek: Dude, you've been locked up in here for the past 6 months!
Sean: ... Can you really blame me?!
Derek: Well, point taken, but still. I go out there everyday! Now I'm gonna drag you out of here and we're gonna have some fun!
Sean: I'm still not convinced it's a good idea, we could get into serious trouble!
Derek: At least we'd be living our lives! Now come on, pick some weapons, we can load a lot into the truck. Let's go!
Sean: ... Alright. I'll do it.
Derek: That's the spirit, let's go!
*They grab a bunch of weapons, and put even more in sacks, and carry them to the stairs.*
Derek: Are you ready?
Sean: I guess. Let's go.
*Derek opens up the door. There is a huge sprawling wasteland in front of them. As we can now see, the basement was the last thing left of a very ruined house. The house is in a neighborhood, and the other houses aren't doing any better. They walk to a Hummer like tank truck, and put the sacks in the back. Derek gets in the drivers seat, Sean gets in the passengers seat, and they drive away.*

Narration: The world really did go out with a bang. Meteor strikes took out important cities all over the planet. Hit nuclear power plants, allowing radiation to overtake several areas. A lab developing an experimental biological weapon was also hit. Test subjects managed to escape, and infect other people. Between those three things, the world didn't stand a chance. Sean and Derek are two survivors, and for the past six months, have been living in somebody's basement. They never met the previous owners, because they were already dead by the time Sean and Derek got there. Our protagonists are now heading into a vast wasteland, with mutants, infected people, and raiders, armed to the teeth with heavy weaponry. Sean didn't know it at that point, but this would be the best birthday he ever had.
