Prologue

I guess I should start with that I am an avid reader of many different types of FanFictions. One of my favorite I think would have to be either The walking dead or maybe Harry Potter with Stargate coming as a close after.

One of my favorite types of fanfictions are definitely self inserts as I simply find them amusing. People always making stupid decisions or not even bothering to attempt to change anything even the minor details. That's silly right? You just being there is enough to change things. Someone may just be 5 feet to the left and may avoid getting bitten to shot if you were in, say the walking dead or something? That could happen by just talking to someone unless you believe they are just 'fated' to die or something, which I don't believe in.

Anyways the reason this is relevant is because while I enjoy reading such things and trying to put myself in their shoes, I don't think I would ever want to actually go to those universes. Well more specifically a zombie apocalypse world anyways. Stargate could be dope and HP had magic so there is that.

So imagine my surprise when I woke up one day thinking I had a stupid yet slightly horrifying nightmare. I was simply at work one day, and while you would think it not important, the year was 2022. Well the last thing I remember in the 'dream' was a bright light, loud noises and a lot of heat and then I woke up sweating my ass off.

So after getting my ass outta bed, having massive senses of deja-vu about little things about my room and surroundings, taking a shower and making breakfast I decide to surf the internet or maybe read a book? Well the first issue was that this wasn't my laptop or more specifically it was my laptop from over a decade ago that looks nearly brand new. This left me confused and that maybe a friend or something was pranking me but nobody has a key to my house as my parents are both deceased and I'm unmarried and no kids and such.

That makes me both more concerned and slightly curious about my surroundings, beginning to notice that while some things look familiar, a bunch of things should be different. Also where the hell is my dog?!

It's sad to say that my lab/pit mix is nowhere to be seen and I'm only just noticing it. But I'm also noticing now that my laptop says that the date is currently May 30th 2010 in big bold letters and that simply makes me stop. After a few minutes for my what the fuck moment to pass I login to my laptop, thankful I never change my login or password or I might have forgotten after so many years.

I also finally notice what's been bothering me since I woke up! Everything is furnished as I had it in 2010.

Now the real question that I am now stuck asking myself is why the fuck did I get sent back in time and the next question is, am I only back in time? Maybe I'm in something like one of those Marvel or DC comics Fanfictions or Harry Potter, maybe even Stargate?! That's when neurons fire and a piece of the puzzle sets itself in place in my mind. The Walking Dead is also one of my favorites and it's canon starts in 2010, in late August. No I can't be that fucked, I am not THAT unlucky! Nope, no, not happening. Maybe I'm simply back in time?

Fuck thank god google exists. Unfortunately the only Tony Stark that exists is from the movie Iron Man…. Harry Potter is a book series/movies, Stargate was a TV series and Everyone from DC are basically just cartoons and comics and shit.

Funny story, can't find much of anything on zombies online, no movies or TV shows… I didn't expect to see the walking dead listed as it didn't come out until around October but there should have been trailers and shit as it would only be a few months from airing. That's when I knew I had to take this research farther.

I knew Rick was a Sheriff or whatever in Kentucky in the comics or Georgia in the series, amusing we lived in the same state if it's the comics, I'm currently in Franklin County. Not a good place to be if this is what I pray it isn't.

Yup there are some names I recognize as Deputy Sheriffs, Rick Grimes and Shane Walsh, but they are in Georgia. Fuck me I'm so fucking fucked. At least going back in time I lost all that extra weight and am younger now. I also haven't sold several of my guns that I had gotten rid of over the years. Small mercies I guess!

I'm praying this isn't some elaborate hoax right now because I'm about to make some drastic decisions in my life now. I could survive if I hunkered down for a few good weeks as I was a bit of a closet prepper, a couple weeks of canned food and water, a few hand guns and rifles and a few thousand rounds in both 9mm and .223 simply just because. I have a shotgun as well but I was never really in to shooting it and only have a few dozen shells for it right now.

Fuck that's so not enough to last even a month if shit goes down like in the shows. The negatives and positives right now are I can simply sell my house and car and other stuff I inherited from my parents for a good chunk of money. That and I just recently sold my own house when I inherited my parents and I still have most of the money I got for that sale so I'm fairly good on funds for now.

The good and bad is also that I don't have any family to worry about having to go through this shit storm in this world as that would be gut wrenching but that also means I am alone right now and nobody to really watch my back or to plan with.

I also really don't want to stay in the area I mostly grew up in either even if I don't have many friends I don't want to be around people iv seen around town and shit and having them try to eat me, I would much rather having strangers do so and to simply kill those kinda walkers/people rather than people I may know.

That means either going to Georgia or California and possibly joining the main casts in one spot or the other or simply doing my own thing I guess? I could do that but it would be scary as hell simply having no background information on the people and places. Or maybe combining groups somehow? Now that could be more amusing though it's not realistic. Mmm a possible compromise, start in California and travel to Atlanta before they leave the quarry? That would give me around 2 months I think to get back.

A possibility I suppose but I would have to get my finances in order and dealing with that military unit that takes over El Sereno would be annoying as fuck all. Too many of them for me to kill alone. Maybe I could sneak in when Daniel looses the horde on the base? That's probably the simplest way to integrate.

Either way I keep circling around in my head how to possibly get from point A to point B and the only feasible way to do it is to fly but I'm more worried about being shot down than anything, if I went that route. Driving would or could actually take weeks if not months and going by boat would be difficult at best. Iv never actually been on one before and to get one big enough you need a captain. I at least know how to fly a small plane. Or can at least get by doing so. Would probably just parachute out of it anyways.
