Description "It had been a long night. I had driven very far, with no luck of finding anything. First light had begun to break o'er the horizon, revealing the catastrophe. Remnants of days old lie about the road. Luggage and bodies lay everywhere, cars were abandoned where they stood. Everywhere you looked, you saw the panic and chaos of the Blood Rage Outbreak. Blood had dried on the roadway, staining the blacktop with crimson. Grass had begun to creep over from the shoulder, slowly taking back the blacktop that it once called home. I rubbed my eyes. I was tired, my car was running sick, I was low on provisions and my fuel reserves had been burned up. If I didn't find something soon, I would die out here. A breeze had begun to pick up as the sun shone bright on the clouds. Leaves blew across the road with colours of orange and red. Grass whispered and waved with the Fall winds. You wouldn't know the world had died. Coming around the corner of the once busy highway, I spotted a light flickering afar. As I got closer, I noticed the gate blocking the overpass. I slowed to a stop, leaving my car to idle. Vehicles were strewn around, long since abandoned. A guard tower stood, with no one at the helm. An army truck was parked by the wall, with no one manning it. The place looked long abandoned. I yawned and shifted my car into drive. With any luck, I might be able to scavenge supplies and get some sleep"
