Issue 0 (GSRC)/Prologue

== Synopsis ==
Robert runs into a problem while making a late night delivery.
== Plot ==
It was a rather dark night in the empty country side of Arklay County, a heavy rain fall had rolled apon the countryside earlier that evening. A lone tanker hauling oil drove down the empty highway, heading towards the city of Raccoon to unload.
The driver, Robert, lifted his right hand off the steering wheel to grab a cheese burger sitting on top of the dashboard. He grabbed it and took a bite out of it.
While he kept his eyes on the road, he listened to the radio where two other truckers began to talk about an incident where one of them saw something strange.
"Look man, I'm serious here, OK?" The younger of the two, called TJ said "I saw this with my own eyes".
The other trucker named Nick spoke up, "Oh, I believe you buddy. I believe you" Nick reassured "Just tell us a story, tell us a story".
"OK, well, it was last Friday-" TJ began to explain "I was walking home from the bar. This woman started coming towards me. She was staggering, you know. So I,I figured she was drunk.".
Nick suddenly interrupted, "Woah, whoa, whoa. Ok" He cut in "Tell us, be honest now, how many drinks did you have?".
"No man, I,I barley had buzz on" TJ defended himself, starting to sound uncomfortable about recalling his encounter.
However, Nick didn't seem to believe him, "Oh c'mon" he commented.
"No, just listen, alright?" TJ said sternly "She got closer, I got a good look at her. You had to seen her eyes, her nose. Her whole face, looked like it was rotting!".
"Ew" Came the single comment from Nick.
"She looked like a corpse. Like a walking corpse man!" TJ exclaimed.
"Heh, sounds like my wife." Robert quipped in a joking manner to himself as he took another bite into his burger.
TJ sounded shook up by the encounter as he said, "I've never seen anything like it. I haven't been able to sleep since that night"
"Alright, calm down, buddy, calm down." Nick spoke up "Just, hey. You gotta stay strong. Ok?. Don't give in to fear out there right?"
"Yeah, well you got that right" TJ agreed, static began to pick up on the radio, catching Robert's attention. "If you freeze up around those things, they'll sink their teeth into you. I saw it attack somebody-".
By now, static has completely replaced the chatter between the two truckers.
Robert gave an annoyed sigh and placed his burger back onto the dashboard, "Come on. Just gettin' good" Robert muttered in annoyance before leaning down towards the radio and began to mess with it, trying to get working again.
After a few minutes, Robert let out a tired yawn, "I need some sleep" he said to himself.
However, when he lifted his eyes back up to the road, a female figure was walking across the road and right into the oncoming way of Robert's truck.
The truck quickly collided into the woman, a loud thud echoing through the cab, Robert sitting straight up in his seat slammed his foot onto the breaks, "Oh shit!" The trucker cursed out in shock.
The brakes quickly got to work and the wheels locked up, the truck then suddenly stopped moving, causing the woman's dead corpse to fly off the hood of the truck, crashing onto the ground several feet away with a sickening crack.
Robert quickly took off his seatbelt and opened the cab door, jumping out his seat and slamming the door shut before rushing over to the front of his truck.
He began to breath heavily at the sight of the woman's body, "No!" He breathing became faster, slightly frantic "No, no, no".
Robert looked around as he took off his trucker cap and ran his right hand through his balding hair, "What do I do?" Robert asked himself "What am I gonna do?".
However, unknown to Robert, the woman he hit, rose to her knees and stood like she was never hit in the first place, she eyed the unaware trucker with cold dead eyes laced with hunger and her skin dark grey.
