The year is 2012. The day is January 31. It is a glorious day for science. A new method of treatment for dying patients of virtually any ailment has been developed--a treatment that could revolutionize the world of medicine. The miracle cure comes in the form of a genetically engineered virus called K-5. Once it's injected into a patient, it shuts down all systems except for the heart and brain, which it reduces to a hibernation state. It then uses the massive amounts of extra energy the body isn't using to repair any injuries or sicknesses in 1-2 days, depending on the severity of the damage. The patients then rise "from the dead" and begin functioning normally! The only problem? The frontal lobe of their brain, the area which makes human rationalization possible, doesn't return from dormancy. In addition, the pain receptors and other bodily functions don't work either. So now we have a human who can't rationalize running around with only two vulnerabilities--the brain and the heart. The Panic
The problem with one zombified human? Replace "one" with "over seven million". By the year 2012, the earth's human population rose to 8.5 billion. Over half of those were in need of K-5 to cure cancer, AIDS, fatal injuries and other conditions. Roughly three of the five billion patients died within several hours of treatment, and the other two billion rose--and they were hungry. Two billion more were devoured, while one billion escaped with their lives--but had been infected via zombie bites. The remaining 500 million people scattered, either killing each other in their panic, being devoured, or, if they were very lucky, surviving to reach *temporary* safety. You are one of these survivors, and you've reached Crookston, Minnesota. You find yourself searching for supplies: food, weapons, transportation, and by some chance more survivors.

Time to get out of this place
After scouting around, he realises that almost all of the population is dead, re-animated or have ended up fragging themselves due to their inexperience with firearms. He heads for the harbour, and then a legion of zombies, hungry, come out of the surrounding streets. Holy Hell... He curses. The Zombies give chase, and he dashes for the harbour, diving into a large-ish boat harbored there. He shoots from the front deck at the zombies trying to board with the machine gun barrel of his firearm. Soon there are only two zombies left writhing, wounded on the stern, and he hotwires the cruiser and speeds off, with them slipping off the back deck, covered in slippy blood. After he is in the middle of the sea, he explores his surroundings. He finds 12 days food and water, A High-tech red dot scope, a pair of night-vision goggles and a machine pistol, with 60 bullets. "Huh, not your average buisnessman then."
