"Survive However You Can Ya'll" - Old Rob

Log-line:

Four survivors must escape infected citizens and dark entities to find a research facility within modern-day North Carolina.

Dramatic Question:

"How will the past of these four survivors come back to haunt them in the afterlife?"

Continuation with the Survivors and the Outbreak

"Did you grow up with a large family, Old Rob?" One of the passengers on the commercial bus inquired. "No, I'm afraid," Old Rob replied. My mother died shortly after giving birth to me. My first adopted parents both died when I was five years old, so I never knew the love and warmth of a family from birth to the age of five. "I'm sorry to hear that," the other passenger said.

Old Rob went on to explain how he had been transferred to multiple orphanages since the age of fourteen, never truly settling in life until the age of 19. "I didn't start to understand it all until the draft happened," Old Rob explained. In the back of Old Rob's mind, it wasn't until the Vietnam War that he found a family in his unit. Even if that family bond was only temporary. "Back in the Gook war, my platoon had great assets to provide for us in combat at the time," the passenger in the maroon sweater explained.

Old Rob could sense the animosity toward the Vietnamese. "Through brotherhood, a connection and search for longevity in life was made," Old Rob said, cutting through the dense awkward silence that was slowly brewing in the air. The fight to keep any tears from falling was the focus of the small group of war veterans as they reflected on their losses and victories of their time. Old Rob was a quiet man, and his only distinguishing features were a dark olive jacket with a hood and a POW flag on his right shoulder. Old Rob wore a dog tag around his neck and carried a black military assault rifle case emblazoned with a US flag and a 7th S.F.G insignia.

The thought of a family home life was a moment of bliss for the war veteran as he rode a commercial bus to visit grandchildren who had grown up long before Old Rob was in the service. Growing up separated from the typical upbringing of a family unit caused Old Rob to be disconnected from the family development with a lover later in life. Old Rob was gone for the majority of his children's lives. His children's communication is becoming increasingly strained. In Old Rob's eyes, improving relationships with grandchildren was a form of redemption.

As the energy on the commercial bus began to build, the air became filled with static. One of the passengers had just informed Old Rob that the most recent news report stated a major outbreak in the major cities of North Carolina. The origins of this outbreak affected the entire East Coast of the United States. Many passengers on the commercial bus became concerned after being startled by the sudden commotion, pushing each other out of the way of the nearest window seats. Old Rob's grandchildren, who lived in upstate Northern Carolina, became the war veteran's primary focus.

On the commercial bus, there were screams and fights. Old Rob used his long-range skills to locate the source of any danger on the commercial bus, using binoculars stored onboard. This was Old Rob's first encounter with the infected citizens. Leon Graystone, one of the four people who survived the commercial bus crash, was a former radical reformist turned police officer.

Leon Graystone was the name given to the reformed renegade. Dressed in slightly long, black hair with a beard, blue jeans, and tattoos, he appears overweight. The radical used to be associated with men who discriminated against people of other races and nationalities than Caucasians.
