Apocalypse Tales (Introduction)

So here's the skinny: I'm going to be writing and posting a series of stories about the zombie outbreak for the next few weeks or until I get bored of it. These stories are going to follow different survivors, their lives before the outbreak, how they cope with the infection, and how they're involved in the main causes of the outbreak. At one point I may even decide to combine some storylines and the characters may help eachother or fight amongst themselves, and maybe even find a cure if I'm feeling cliche' enough. If anyone has any ideas on characters and their backstories I could write about, feel free to post some ideas and I'll do my best to apply them to the series after I write the first installment. The stories are going to be taking place in entirely fictional cities/towns, so names for these cities/towns, streets, and stores would also be appreciated. I already have a good idea on how the outbreak will start, so ideas on the infection origins itself aren't necessary.
EDIT* This is NOT a role play, I'm simply writing a story and posting it for you to read.

This will be awesome!! i will help you with what ever you need man! well that is if you want anyways. lol

Heh, heh-heh, I have a name for a fictional city.

It's based off of New York City.
