STORYLINE – Days Gone Bye, Part 1

Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes and his partner, Shane, are in a shoot-out with an escaped prisoner on a highway. Rick is shot in the shoulder during the incident and falls into a coma. A month later, Rick wakes up in hospital, but finds it abandoned.

After dressing himself, he explores the hospital, finding a corpse which falls backward into the opening elevator, as well as a cafeteria door blocked by a piece of wood. Rick removes the wood and opens the door only to find multiple zombies inside the room. One of the zombie’s lunges at Rick, which causes both to fall down a set of stairs where the zombie’s head falls off.

Rick ties his belt onto the handles of the door behind him to hold back the other zombies. Severely confused, Rick leaves the hospital and finds a bicycle. As Rick walks toward the bicycle, he sees a zombie that has deteriorated to nothing more than bones. At this sight, Rick temporarily breaks down.
