Welcome to the (very long... don't say I didn't warn you) photographic tale of Nils and Becca's Fort Worden Adventure!

CAST:

NILS


BECCA


Becca had gotten the day off from work after manning the office solo for nearly a week with the express purpose of visiting Fort Worden with her best friend and honorary big brother Nils since their work schedules rarely allowed for days off at the same time. After trekking out all the way to the park, Nils and Becca were very excited to be at the beautiful coastal area (and, more importantly, not at work).

The day was starting off wonderfully. Nils and Becca were armed with a flashlight in anticipation of exploring the old bunker, gummy sharks, granola bars, and Propel water. They were a little bit sad that it was so cloudy and not sunny and warm so they could play in the water, but they weren't about to let that dampen their day. Then they walked on a little farther, and noticed the first ill omen.


Nils and Becca were a little bit concerned about the tsunami hazard sign, but the beauty of the park soon let them forget their concern.



Then....

Terror struck!


Fort Worden was infested with ZOMBIES!!!!


Fellow park goers were being attacked left and right! Becca and Nils had no idea where the zombies had come from, but there was no time to ponder these mysteries! Becca and Nils fled to the nearest secure looking structure, but it was locked.



So Nils and Becca fled to the ominous looking abandoned bunker in the distance!




Nils and Becca immediately started exploring the old bunker, looking to a place to hole up while they figured out what to do. The bunker seemed safe at first, and after a little while of searching, Nils and Becca allowed their guard to drop. Nils leaned up against a wall to take a break, then the zombies STRUCK! They seized his camera case and tried to pull him down to the room below!





Becca quickly picked up her camera to capture Nils in this hilarious position before she rushed to his rescue. The zombies were strong, but fortunately she and Nils were able to pry his camera case away from the zombies before he was dragged down. Nils cursed at Becca for taking a picture before helping, then he saw the photo and laughed. All was forgiven.

The two continued their exploration through the bunker. They seemed to be staying above the zombies, which appeared to be trapped in the lower level. Suddenly Becca remembered! She had a cell phone! They were saved! All she had to do was call the White House and demand immediate national guard assistance! Becca pulled her phone out of her bag and started dialing when she tripped and fell, dropping the phone down a grate! Without thinking, she lunged after it!


(Becca was tempted to be mad at Nils for taking pictures instead of rushing to her rescue, but after a moment of reflection she decided not to say anything.)

Nils was getting angry. "That's it!" he told Becca. "We have to get that phone!"

"No, Nils!" Becca cried, still shaking from her near brush with death. "There are zombies down there, in case you haven't noticed!"

"Well, what else are we going to do?" Nils demanded. "I'm going, you stay here!"

Paralyzed with fear, Becca watched Nils descend to the lower levels.


For a while Becca quietly pondered a life without Nils in a world filled with zombies.


Then she went after him. Unfortunately, her first attempt to find Nils didn't go very well.



Becca finally found Nils racing up a flight of stairs with zombies hot on hot on his heels!


Reunited, the two took a deep breath.

"What the hell are we going to do now?" Becca demanded. "We don't have a phone, we're totally surrounded, and there are zombies all over the lower level!"

"Well...." Nils was unhappy. "I guess we should go practice martial arts on the beach and prepare for the worst."


Becca thought he was kidding.


He wasn't.


Becca chose instead to quietly meditate on the inevitability of death, and even though being eaten alive by zombies wasn't really how she'd like to go out, she decided to accept it.







Suddenly Becca realized something. "Stay here," she ordered Nils, and before Nils could regain his balance as he came out of Shaolin Bear Strike, she was off, tearing across the roof of the bunker and down the ladder.



Five minutes and she was back with the phone. The national guard showed up a half hour later, killed all the zombies, and after giving Nils and Becca a thorough medical examination to make sure they weren't bitten, they were released and sent home.



What did Becca realize that allowed her to retreive the phone so easily?



Becca is really a superhero.



But don't tell anyone.
