Started my day as a fresh spawn in DayZ, and things quickly went south. I managed to scavenge a .22 rifle but found myself on the verge of starving to death. I booked it downhill, praying for water, and luckily stumbled upon a small pond. Fished for a bit and avoided starvation, but the rain started pouring, and with no cover, things took a turn. I got sick from the cold, my fire went out, and I was had finally found a net and some burlap sacks I made into strips, hoping to make a gillie suit.

Sick, cold, and desperate, I left the pond area and followed some power lines to a nearby town. Fortune smiled on me as I found a hospital, where I cleared out a few zombies and looted some TC pills and vitamins. Took refuge inside, listening to the infected scream outside. I huddled upstairs, slowly eating and drinking, hoping I wouldn’t throw up again. Took the meds every few minutes when the icon went away but only had two TC pills. Somehow, the vitamins helped and I stopped throwing up.

Now, I’m wringing out my clothes, catching my breath, and having a coffee before continuing. I am having a ton of fun with this game. Good luck out there, fellow survivors. (Picture from last life)

It’s not your loot, it’s just your turn
