Mikhael Vassili sped down an alleyway as fast as he could, with a vague idea of where he had parked his car. A few minutes earlier he had been sifting through some rubbish bins, in search of food, water, or any other supplies. Then all of a sudden, he had been jumped by a trio of runners*. They had knocked the pistol out of his shaking hand, and he had ran.
He couldn't be sure if they were still following him. It didn't matter now. He had reached his destination. The blue saloon car was parked in a lay-by a few yards ahead. Dashing towards it, he reached in and pulled out an MP5 SMG. He drew it to his eye, and scanned the streets for any enemies.
A runner crept out of the way he had come. Vassili stood for only a second, before riddling it with bullets. The thing dropped to the floor, dead.
Vassili jumped into the car, laying the MP5 on the seat beside him. He pulled away from the deserted square. As he did, a Punisher** burst from the memorial garden, screaming. Vassili ignored it and carried on.
it had been like this for a month now. The scrounging, the fleeing... ever since the aliens had arrived. On a sunny July evening, a meteorite had crashed in close proximity. Scientific studies detected an organic at the center. When it was opened, an alien ate the researchers, broke out of the lab, and created a hideous nest in the town sewers. Soon, everyone was dead, dying or fleeing.
Vassili was interrupted from his thoughts by the sight of somebody standing on a road corner, hailing him. Vassili pulled up, wound down the window, and asked "Hi, need a lift?"
OOC:
*Runners are small, fast and dextrous. they have long tails with jagged edges that impale people, and venomnous bites. However, they are relatively weak.
** Punishers are titans, with six limbs. two are massive claws, two are hands, and a pair of legs. They are almost unstoppable except by heavy weapon fire.
