Hi,
Thought of a good idea for a fanfic story so I thought I'd post it here.
Any input appreciated (I need a main character name, I'm rubbish at picking names )


''Hey, you awake?'' said Bill, my closest friend. I had lived with him and his family in their small ranch outside of town since my family was killed by raiders.
''Yeah'' I mumbled, ''Why?''
''C'mon, we're going to town now'' he said, he sounded excited.
''OK'' I said, ''Where are my clothes''
''Oh I nearly forgot, take these'' he said as he handed me a suit of what seemed to be leather armor as well as a pistol with some ammo.

I looked up at Bill with a questioning look but he just smiled. I quickly pulled on the leather armor, it stank of dust and rot but felt strangely natural on my skin. I picked up the pistol and slid it into the belt of the armor along with the extra ammo.

It was a strange journey into town, Bill who was normally very talkative was quite and focused. I was nervous and slightly scared.

The sun was only beginning to rise as we finished the 15 minute walk to town. As we walked past Abel's store, the first building in town I saw a small party of about three men dressed like Bill and I. They began walking toward us. I could see that two of the men were in fact Abel and Lance. But I did not recognize the man between them.
He looked like a man who had lived a hard life. Deep scars ran along his face and his bald head seemed to shine in the sun.

Abel was an old man of about 50 but had been a caravan guard in his younger days until he got shot in the stomach.

Lance was a tall muscular man who didn't talk a lot. He had come into town about 10 years ago when I was thirteen. He never really spoke to anyone unless he had to. He was a strange man.

''This fellow here claims that a raider party are planned an attack on the village'' said Abel ''So we are going to check it out, in the meantime I want you and Bill to make sure everything is OK in the village, John and Kima have the south gate so you and Bill only need to keep an eye on the ranch and the south gate''

I shook my head in acknowledgment.

The town of Faircroft was a small town with walls all around and a North and South entrance. It was surrounded by wasteland but about 10 miles East there is a great lake, it is there we get our water. One day when I was about 9 I found a map saying that we were in some pre-war area called Wisconsin.

Me and Bill turned around and walked to the North entrance.

'' You go up to the ranch and I'll guard this entrance'' I said to Bill.

''OK'' he said.

As he started jogging up the track to the ranch I turned around to find a place to sit when I heard two loud bangs and what sounded like Bill screaming.


(My first fanfic so please be gentle)
