Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is the local Bell Gas Station, who is known to have stations world wide. However since the first days of the outbreak, all the gas pumps seem tapped out. However the little Station Store still has the road snacks you would buy on a cross country trip.

Weapons: A 38 revolver, a black machete knife, and a boot knife.
Belongings: 1986 dark blue Honda Civic, two boxes of random personal stuff, and a backpack containing a can opener, two cans of beans, one can of roast beef, one can of cream corn, one can of pears, two water bottles, half a box of water proof matches, a change of cloths, and a compact sleeping bag.

The front door of the gas station mini mart was practically torn in half. The metal frame was warped and all the glass was broken and missing. I kicked open what was left of the door, with my boot, and peeked my head inside. It took my eyes a moment to adjust to the slightly dimmer light inside, but my ears had no problem picking up the faint sound of a thumping to the rear of the store. I quickly took a look around for any immediate signs of danger, but found none thankfully. Instead I noticed that a good amount of snack food was still left on the shelf's. Well isn't this my lucky day. I know though that I wasn't in the clear to start collecting food yet, or at least not until I found out exactly what that thumping is. With a firm grip on my machete I made my way to the back of the store where the thumping was coming from. The closer I got the more foul the air became. I knew what I was soon to encounter without a second thought, so I might as well get this over with. I peak around the corner of one of the display shelved and see a slightly cracked door labeled "Staff Only". Taking a deep breath I step closer to the door, shove it open with my boot, ready for a chomper to come at me. Instead I am greeted by the sight of a young man who appears to have taken his own life, in the only effective way, and a skinny pit bull puppy tied to the leg of a desk. The moment the dog saw me it began to whimper lightly and shake. It was obvious that this dog wasn't infected and it had been pulling on it's leash for days now trying to ether get to it's owner, or get out. I stooped done on one knee and with a quite voice I tried to get the dog to come to me, "Hey lovely, it's okay now, I'll help you." The dogs right ear perked up a bit and it stopped whining and shaking so much. "I won't hurt you, but you need to come here so I can release you." The dog slowly came towards me and sniffed my outstretched hand. I slowly moved my hand so I could scratch it behind it's ear, but still keeping a bit of distance. There was no way of me knowing what this dogs temperament is or how the owner had trained it. The dog moved a bit closer to me and it's tail began to wag a bit. I carefully unhooked it's collar from the leash, and before I knew what had happened it jumped onto my chest knocking me over onto my back. At first I though it was trying to attack me, but then it started licking my face. "Okay! Okay! Calm down!" It backed off of me and sat next to me looking up at me with big light brown eyes as I got to my feet. "Well what do we do now?" It cocked it's head at me, let out a quite bark, and ran out the door. "Wait!" But it was already gone. "Great."
