You are at the main mall entrance of Caiger Mall. Extensive work has been done repairing and covering the many glass walls and multiple doors. The floor and walls are marked with splashes of dried blood. The main doors have been breached.
Somebody has spraypainted the end is nigh onto a wall.
A large mob of zombies has gathered here.
There is a dead body here.
- You enter Caiger Mall, finding yourself where you cannot possibly be. The world does take notice, but will let it slide for the time being. Why bother, the world thinks. Look at where you are.
The mall is how you left it, plus some progression. The dead haven't noticed you yet, probably because it is impossible for you to be here. Zombies have built-in logic detectors and thus know the possible from the impossible. (Or idiot detectors, depending on opinion. In that case they can easily pick out any idiot in a crowd.)
A clever person must conclude that to avoid the dead, one must do impossible things or be very unstupid. As the impossible is, baring the ridiculous, well, impossible, you will have to be not an idiot if you want to survive. Are you an idiot?
Now, what does the protagonist, who might be an idiot, do?
Possible actions:
- Attack the zombies Hide beside the dead body Eat the dead body Sway gently and groan Run away Carefully make your way through the mob
Inventory:
- You carry only a bent knife and a smashed radio. It has been a long ride. Your blue jeans are shredded; the T-shirt, stretched 2 sizes larger, is more red than white, and your shoes are unaccounted for. You wear a crumpled paper party hat.
