Zombie Cliché Lookout:
There comes a point when the protagonists in a zombie story come to the cold realization that no one is coming to help. So accustom to simple phoning 911 whenever the need should arrive, few are used to this level of independence. Often, this is the beginning of a big change in the characters. Some embrace the challenge and become the heroes they were meant to be, other sink into depression, and still others just completely lose it.
Why hasn’t anyone in the apartment(?) wondered, why is a sniper rifle just laying around?
Hah. I guess they just assume it’s Murphy’s.
in a zombie apocalypse the gulf coast (where i live)would probably be a good bet since Mississippi has a high rate of gun ownership and a myriad of boats an other vessels,and an Airforce base.
