A raccoon wearing cargo pants, a dark green vest, and a bandana around his neck walks through the forest at a leisurely pace, enjoying the freedom of not being cramped inside a city filled with the infected. His pack is heavy with the canned foods he scavenged in different towns and cities. He stops abruptly and listens closely. A struggle? He runs in the directly of the noise, hesitating when he sees the cabin.
"Who knows what's in there..."
He sighs deeply, then runs to the cabin, puts his ear against the door and hears: "the survivor's in shock! Help!"
Almar takes his fire axe off his back and pushes open the door, ready for what ever is inside.
Seeing no one inside, he cautiously makes his way to the basement door and quickly moves down the stairs. Seeing a raccoon wrestling with the swarmer, he runs to the raccoon, pulls out his bowie knife for fear that the axe could harm the struggling survivor, and stabs the blade into the creature.
