Closed starter for @poisonedgeekie between Adam and Rosco
Out in the forest was supposed to be relatively safe. Most of the infected were in the cities, not out in nature. But Adam supposed nowhere was truly safe anymore. Even out in the woods, there were a few stragglers that were dangerous. Especially when they could catch you off guard because they weren't in a hoard.
If it was just one, Adam could probably fight them off, but there was a whole group of infected that had apparently been camping when they were bitten and just never left their tents. Adam had foolishly checked the campground for any possible supplies left behind, thinking only about what he might find that could help him, not hurt him.
There were 5 or 6 infected chasing him through the woods now, and he was just started to think he might outrun them, their growls fading into the distance. He made the mistake of looking behind him to check while still running, not paying attention to where he was going. That's when his foot hit the trigger and a rope tightened around his foot.
Before Adam knew what was happening, the snare trap pulled tight, hoisting him in the air by the ankle. It was quick and violent, and Adam was worried it might have dislocated the joint in his ankle as he winced in pain. He was already in bad enough shape, he didn't need this added to his body's complications.
"Shit!" he hissed, dangling upside down from a tree as the infected started to gain on him now that he was stationary. At least he was high enough up that they couldn't reach him. Still, he needed to find a way out of this trap and fast, or the blood would rush to his head and he would pass out. If that happened, he was as good as dead.
