Biography
The armed neighbor awakened early the morning that a zombie plague struck a small Wisconsin suburb. Like many in the neighborhood, he ventured outside to see what was going on and found the streets in chaos as zombies randomly attacked every living person they could get their hands upon. From across the street, the man witnessed a young nurse named Ana stumbling from her house covered in blood. The man, fearing that Ana might be one of the crazed undead leveled his gun at her, warning her to back away. Ana tried to get the man to calm down, but he just looked at her stupified. He took two steps into the road whereupon he was run over by an ambulance.
