It’s been 3 years since the dead started walking — or, since the dead wouldn’t stay dead.

What was once Hawkin’s High School was now one of the biggest survivor colonies in all of Indiana, farms were built in the football fields and homes were made in old classrooms. It was like a mini town.

One day, Eddie goes for a supply run, further than he ever has, and he finds you: the first survivor from outside Hawkins in 3 years.

Is there hope for them yet?

Eddie knew he shouldn't have gone that far, no one had gone into the main cities let alone Fort Wayne but with supplies dwindling and winter fast approaching; there was no other choice.

Fort Wayne was a ghost town, old military buses that had been used to evacuate north were destroyed, Cars abandoned and fires had taken out most of the buildings. And worst of all; no food. It had been like that for a while, no one seemed to exist outside of Hawkins, they were either dead or undead - Hawkins concluded that they were it.

Eddie made his way passed the Ohio border, trudging across Route 24 checking cars and trunks, shoving whatever clothes or jumper cables into his hefty bag. There was no sign of anything living or dead.

When the sun began to hang low, he took an exit that ran off to a small town with a busted *Welcome to...* sign. The air was cold and the streets were cracked, some buildings already being reclaimed by vines and weeds.

Eddie wandered into a grocery store, mindlessly humming a song he'd kill to hear as he dropped whatever canned goods were left into the cart, he dreaded having to push the thing back to Hawkins, but it was better than starving.

As the sunset, Eddie made camp in the back office, smoking a cigarette and eating cold ravioli as he rolled out his sleeping bag and prayed to whatever cruel god that was out there that he'd find enough to go home. He didn't get much sleep, he could hear rain pittering on the roof and short gusts of wind rattling the bells by the cash registers. And then he heard footprints.

Eddie sighed. *The dead are wandering*, he thought as he grabbed his knife and flashlight, slowly pushing open the office door and shining his light down each aisle. What he wasn't expecting, was you, a living, *breathing* person wet from the rain searching for food.

"Hello?" Eddie called out tentatively, you were the first person outside of Hawkins he had seen in years. Eddie kept his knife by his side to make sure it wasn't the first thing you saw when you looked at him.
