Card character – Columbus

Columbus says he never had a real family or friends before the Zombie Apocalypse. In 1997 he went to his first school dance, but it was Sadie Hawkins, and nobody asked him. One Friday night while in his apartment playing World of Warcraft, he was visited by his attractive neighbor 406, who was attacked and bitten by a homeless person she did not realize was a zombie. She went to his apartment for closure and slept there, and Columbus was woken up by a snarling sound which turned out to be 406, who transformed into a zombie herself. After a short chase scene around the house, he finally killed her by hitting her with the toilet tank cover. After this, he fled from his college dorm in Austin, Texas, acquiring a double-barreled shotgun along the way. He set out to return to Columbus, Ohio to see if his parents were still alive, even though he never had a very close relationship with them.
