Zombies!

Swords and magic were the best ways to defeat zombies, but the hoards kept coming and we three found ourselves trapped in a building and started to move upstairs. We came across a man and his daughter and decided to take them with us too. Up we went through several floors of stairwells until we came upon a kitchen.

At first we thought they were more zombies, but there were about 8 people, resigned to their fate and having their last meal. "Don't eat the meat" I told the girl as I realised the carcass looked human. "It's ok." says one of the people. "He was turning, so we had to kill him anyway. Wouldn't want him to go to waste, would you? You should eat. Might be the last meal you get in a while."

The people thought that was hysterical and devolved into cackling laughter. "We've got to keep going." I whispered, but at that moment we heard something big and it was coming this way. We got ready, but as the huge zombified monster stepped into view we realised it was ignoring us completely and it continued its slow amble past. We got up and headed in the direction it came from... more stairs, until we were at the top of a platform and there was only a ceiling above us. I pushed the panels and they came apart easily and we climbed up into a huge enclosed stadium.

The stadium was empty, with a large sliding door on one end and a scoreboard in the centre. Next to the scoreboard was a hot air balloon. We realised we had climbed about 8 levels, but ended up on the ground floor again!! Outside was swarming with zombies, the only way was up... We went to the hot air balloon and there was a man asleep in the bottom of the basket. He was indignant when we took control and set its steady progression towards the roof where we could see a trap door......
