In The End (Reboot)/Episode 1: Welcome To The End

This is the first episode of In The End.

Story
Jacob Edwards works as a firefighter in the Cheyenne Fire Department in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He was driving to work one day when he hears a suspicious announcement from Senator Mike Enzi on the radio.

"Attention everyone," Mike says in a concerning tone, "It appears that the dead have risen from their graves and are now walking amongst the living. I am in a secure bunker with my colleague, John Barrasso." Jacob then turns off the radio.

"Walking corpses my ass," Jacob states, "These Republicans are always stirring drama whenever possible." Jacob is a registered Democrat and went against his state's Republican leaning, but he didn't care. He slowly drove towards work when he sees a group of zombies attacking his colleagues.

"Oh shit, Senator Enzi was right" Jacob states. He took a pistol and fired at the zombies, killing them. He walked towards the Fire Marshall.

"What the fuck is going on?" Jacob asks.

"The dead are alive," the Marshall answers. The Marshall then dies. He looked around, and all of the other firefighters are dead. He was the last survivor of the Cheyenne Fire Department. He decided to drive home, knowing that he is the new Fire Marshall by proxy and that the rest of the Department was dead. For the first time in his life, he trusted a Republican. He had Mike Enzi's phone number for when the two attended a luncheon to honor the Fire Department for a year without a single fatality from fires. He grew to like him personally, although the two had differing political beliefs. He dialed Enzi's number.

"Hey Senator Enzi," Jacob states as he called Mike Enzi.

"Yeah Jacob," Mike replies.

"Can you explain exactly what the fuck is going on?" Jacob asks. Mike didn't like Jacob's tone, but he decided to answer anyway.

"According to my reports, the outbreak was started by a company called AmeriTech," Mike answers, "They really wanted to find a cure for cancer. I didn't really agree with their methods and tried to press them against it, knowing that something bad was going to happen. Their leader, Kevin North, brushed me off, claiming that I know nothing about what they're doing. So, I tried to get my fellow Senator John Barrasso to intervene. He went up to AmeriTech and they promptly showed him the door. We could do nothing to stop them. What they created instead of a cure for one of the worst diseases to ravage humanity was the end of society as we know it."

"I hear you," Jacob replies, "I am sorry for how AmeriTech treated you and John. They can be such asses at times." Jacob was too focused on his conversation with Mike for him to notice a strange figure in the middle of the road. It was a zombie which he then hits, causing him to swerve and crash into a telephone pole. Jacob fell into unconsciousness. Mike then hangs up after getting nothing on his end.

"I lost him," Mike states.

"What happened?" John asks.

"He must have crashed. I heard something that sounded like a car crashing," Mike answers.

"Do you think he's dead?" John asks.

"I don't know anymore John," Mike answers, "This is how the world works now."
