Mike Benson sprinted down the hall, pulled open Molinaro's door and jogged past the art rooms. Rushing past the vending machine, he halted sharply. Man...a Snickers sounds fantastic... Reaching into the depth of his khaki cargo pants he started to grab the elusive coins in his pockets. Slinking over the vending machine he plugged a few coins in the machine, swore, and dug in his pockets again. Pulling out his hand gripping a nickel he punched in the number and was rewarded with a Snickers and the crash of a shattering window. Snickers in hand, he sprinted back down the hall away from the zombie clinging to the frame of the window.

Somehow, unlocking and pushing he door open seemed less criminal-like than stepping through the shattered pane. Stepping into the Buick, Garrett Radant put the shotgun on the passenger seat and cradled the 9mm in his lap. He turned the key and rather than reversing; he hopped over the curb and spun around and out of Guns 'n Gadgets vacant parking lot. Turned left and headed back to Parkside.

Sam Schwartz had pushed the dresser in front of her door, she was currently sitting on her laptop, unharmed and not in any immediate danger within her control to change. Her window smashed open and a arm waved wildly around the frame to clear the glass away. How did I possibly forget the window!? She screamed as a head began to enter the small apartment room. Ryan Montross looked at her, glanced out the window again.
"It's all clear, come on. We have to get out of here. The main building is a lot more open than this. We'll go in through Brickstone."
Sam just looked at him before saying slowly,"I don't kno-"
"Fine! I have to go, I was already spotted once and got away...if you are coming, I will wait for two minutes in Brickstone. That's it." Ryan sprinted off. Sam crawled out the window and her her phone vibrate on the desk. Falling back into room; she glanced around before grabbing her phone and turning back to the window.
*
Pacing back and forth Ryan M. glared at the door as it opened slowly. Too frightened to go on alone, he waited a full ten minutes for Sam to get there. She walked in at sat at a booth clutching her neck.
"I fell getting out the window." She stated simply.
"Maybe we should get that checked out..." he trailed off as the wound began to gush profusely and then slow down as if it had been clotting for a half hour. "...Sam?"
She looked at him, death in her eyes. Rip. Tear. Kill. Infect.
*
Garrett pulled into Parkside in front of the Ranger Hall. Getting out slowly he tucked the 9mm pistol into the back of his jeans and picking up the pump-action shotgun. He turned toward the dorms... gripped the shotgun.
"When I'm done with this...I want some god damned potato chips."
*
Karl Gfall had arrived at Parkside just outside of the Communication Arts building. He got out, prepared for the worst with cleaver and an 8-shot revolver from Guns 'n Gadgets that he had purchased just last week. He entered the unlocked door.
*
Emily Evenson ran to her RA's room on the first floor. Pounding on the door, it slowly opened. Emily barged in, looked at Courtney once and screamed. Silence.
*
Mike Benson swiped his Ranger ID and typed in 5623 and entered the solitude of the cumputer science lab. He bit into his Snickers and crawled under a desk.
*
Ryan Scanlan popped over the curb and into the Ranger Hall parking lot.
*
Garrett Radant found himself firing the shotgun through the glass of the Ranger Hall doors. Dozens of infected classmates charged him as he fired into the mass. He tripped over a crowbar that was lying in the parking lot, obviously a makeshift weapon of someone long gone...He suddenly found himself cornered...
