The Walking Dead: A New Frontier - Stories (Story 1)
Hello everyone! Welcome to TWD: ANF - Stories Thread!
I decided to make this discussion for those who (including me) want to share their kind of story/backstory of TWD: ANF.
Anyone that wants to "add" their part of story in this game, just write down to the comments your Story on TWD: ANF.
I hope it will be useful for any "writer" out there that wants to do something like this.
I may create More Stories in the near future (if I have the inspiration of course xD ).
My story is:
(Sorry for any grammatical or syntax error)
Clementine Meets Prescott
She took off on foot. She didn't want to attract any unecessary attention to herself by taking a car. Anyway, she was just going for scavenging, so she needn't take a vehicle because she wasn't going to a specific place.
-Good luck, Clementine! I'll watch out for AJ! Don't worry! , Jame said.
-Thanks James. I'll do what I can! , Clementine said.
James was worried about her because she was only 13 years old and she was going alone. Although she was able to look out for herself out there, everyone's luck runs out sometime.
-I'll be, don't worry about me. You worry about AJ and I'll be back before you know it!
Though, this wasn't true...
The gates of Richmond closed behind her and she was totally alone now but she didn't mind. She was used to it by now. She took the path through the woods.
As she was walking through the woods, she saw some walkers but not many. She could deal with them if she had to.
A few more minutes later, she saw a van at the end of the woods somewhere near the road. She had to search it for loot. That was her "mission" from the beggining. To search for goods in any kind of place.
When she arrived at the van it seemed abandoned. She took a good look inside-out but she didn't find much: some canned tuna, a water bottle and a pack of biscuits. Not much, but some.
The night was getting darker and darker and some walkers, maybe 4 or 5, came close to the van. Clementine saw them and tried not to use the gun.
"There aren't many of 'em" , she thought.
She took the first one out in the blink of an eye with her knife. It was a military-like knife, really good for killing things. The other 4 that were gathered together, she had to make them separate somehow, so she tried to move around a bit with the hope of them separating form one another. And she almost did it. The three that were still together, she took them out in the same time, putting her knife in their head, one after another. The last one managed to knock her down and in that position, she couldn't use her knife, which was dropped a few metters away from her. Unfortunately, she had to use her gun. Thus, she shot the walker right into its face and its blood covered Clementine's face.
-Ughhh... Pheww... That was close... and really loud! I better get moving. , Clementine said as she tossed the body next to her.
And she kept moving along the road with the hope of finding something better than the van to loot.
Right away, it started raining. It wasn't a problem at the beggining as she had a really good coat that didn't get wet so easily; but when the rain became heavier, it really became a problem. Clementine started running a little to find a shelter from the rain. Two minutes later, she saw some kind of walls, far in the distance. She thought that it may be a town, so she kept running towards it.
And the storm grew stronger.

My story was also inspired by the story of the above link because I really wanted to make a "prequel" of it, so here it is!
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!
Feel free to write your thoughts or opinions about my story and, if you want, you can add Your Story in the comments section of this discussion (or you can just create a new discussion with Your Story as I did ).
Thank you for your time and have a good day!

I think that the story is a little short, but I was just trying to make a "small prequel" for the story of the mentioned link.

Nice, your story is as long as you need it to be. If you do continue to write, you will find that it becomes easier to fill up a page or three or one hundred. You just have to find a subject that draws your imagination along. I love the Walking Dead...only problem is that the subject is owned by someone else...makes it hard for me at least to write a story of any great length. But I know there are fan fics out there that get really into it, and of course there are complete garbage ones as well.
But you did well for a start. I am going to be posting in a few days a story done in the first person from Clementine's point of view...you should write more...perhaps we can even get a group of forum folk to do so.
That would be a great idea!
Good luck!
Hmm... Why not? Maybe someday we can try this out.
I will, if I don't have too much homework for school (I'm going in the Second Class of High School). I'll, probably, make another story soon enough. I'll see...
I'm also from Greece, so I don't speak English as good as you... However, I have taken the Proficiency degree, so I can use the English language pretty good.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback. I'll really take it into consideration.
I, also, wanted to write the story in a more "poetic" and atmospheric way. I don't think I'm able to write a story in "First Person Mode" or just focused to a specific character.
