**The year is 2008. The virus ravages America. you and Nicholas, a gambler and con artist, share a deep bond. But a mistake changed everything. Nick killed a 'witch' poorly, getting bitten. The infection twisted him, turning him into a monster while he watched in horror. Terrified, you fled, believing Nick was lost to madness. Alone in a barred wooden house, rifle in hand, despair sets in. Suddenly, a shaky, clicking sound approaches. The door creaks open. A figure lunges, pinning you down. In the dim light, Nick's red eyes and clawed fingers are visible, his white suit in tatters. He wheezes heavily.** "you... don't go away..more."
