You break into a quiet jog, the sides of the road are clear and offer no hiding places, but after a few minutes the man has disappeared into the distance. It seems he wasn't interested in you after-all. You're a little disappointed.

You continue walking west until you hit a small wooded area. The road continues on and you can see a small building rising from the trees. There is a broken neon sign that reads "Paradise Motel". It hangs vertically from the side of the building. As you come back on to the road you hear a soft rasp and a shrill howl:

You fear there are more lurking about...

But you are cold, aching, tired, hungry and thirsty. Not to mention, very, very wet.

What do you do?

The wind and rain is stinging your face, your shoes are caked with mud and blood, your lungs and arms and legs are burning from exertion...but your quest is greater than these petty concerns. Flesh yields to simple, psychotic rage. You've had enough...and its time the world knew it.

You charge at the zombie dog, but a hideous long-armed monstrosity flanks you from the left. You stop and turn and corner the zombie into some bushes. You chop its head off, but it gets a good bite of your leg. You shake off the pain, spot a flashlight on the zombie; loot it. To the west you spot a zombie soldier, dressed in full combat gear. To the north are the zombie dog and woman you saw earlier. To the west, a zombie child. And to the south-west, a cluster of motel rooms.

You decide to run through the woods toward the motel rooms, you think you can barricade yourself there and take out the zombies one by one. Along the way you bisect a zombie child and eviscerate a zombie woman. Your mouth curls into a hellish grin as you bound like an antelope toward one of the motels. You juke away from a legless zombie. It scrapes its torso across the pavement, but you are too fast! You leap through the window of the motel, shattering the glass, sending little pieces of it everywhere. You tumble, roll and stand up. You turn around; a host of zombies are climbing through the window! You get to work with your axe and lop limbs left and right.

They keep coming...

Again and again you swing, biting through bone, severing flesh. But they just keep coming, a mess of arms and teeth, lunging and piercing...

And then, it stops. You collapse to the floor in exhaustion. Dead bodies and body-parts are in a neat pile just outside the window. The rain washes the blood away, and with it, perhaps, your anger...for now, anyway...

You pick yourself up and drag some of the cabinets to barricade the broken window and door. You can still hear growling and rasping. At first you think your mind is playing tricks, its done that before, but the sounds are too clear. There are still more of them in the other rooms. Luckily, each room is self-enclosed so you are somewhat safe for now. You sit down on the edge of the bed and examine yourself: your torso has a nasty bite wound. You wince from pain when you try to touch it. Other than that, you are more or less intact, a few bruises on your legs, but nothing to worry about. You lean back on the bed and catch your breath.

You step outside to investigate the sounds coming from the south-east, and you see this:

This...creature frightens, even you. There is something sinister about it, more-so than the others. Anyway, it doesn't seem to have noticed you, so you continue on your way to the southern room. The window is already broken and the door is locked and another zombie dog is chasing you, so you brush aside the broken glass and hop through the window. You make your way to the back of the room where you think you heard the sounds, and a shrill shriek deafens you. You rush into the bathroom (the source of the sound) and come face to face with yet another horror:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You chop it to pieces without so much as a second thought. You're getting used to this (+1 Cutting, Melee). You walk back to the window and the dog jumps through, you leap back, rolling across the bed. The dog follows, and jumps from the bed to your face, you bring the axe down just in time, and smash the pup apart.

You look out the window and the zombie necromancer is still there and still ignoring you. You go back to other zombies and smash them, just in case. Your torso wound is beginning to throb painfully now, you think it might be infected, you need to cauterize the wound; either that or sew it up with a first aid kit. You currently have access to neither. You could also use some painkillers, your legs are aching.

What will you do?

You look around the motel room for anything interesting, but find nothing of import. There is a phone-book in one of the drawers and a blanket on the bed and water in the toilet (you still have the bottle of water purification pills; 14 left) but nothing else. The zombie's you've killed have an assortment of clothing, most of which are cut or in tatters (you contributed in no small part to this). You do manage to find a candy bar on one of the child corpses, still intact, and a backpack on the shrieker. The latter is in bad condition, and you leave it.

You notice that your army pants are ripped in several places and get a little depressed. Though of course, that's small potatoes to the festering wound on your chest and the pain you're currently feeling. You walk back to the barricaded room, the Necromancer is still out there and you're sure there are more with him. Your world has gone to shit very quickly, but your biggest issue is how goddamn wet you are. You can take virtually anything the apocalypse throws at you, but wet socks are just too much to bear. A man deserves dry feet, that is his right by birth...

Anyway, what do you do?

EDIT: Some extra info (this is the last post of the day btw):

-There is another building north-east of the one you are currently in. From what you can tell, it seems to be the "check-in" counter.
-There is also a serious looking building right next to the motel, it has a card-scanner and a steel security gate and no indication of what it contains.
-You definitely spotted a shit-load of zombies in-front of the motel, including at least two zombie soldiers and of course, the necromancer.
-You're not completely sure, but you think the other motel rooms pretty much have the same thing as the one you are currently in.

Sneak out the back door at night and look for a Towel in the houses at night, We don't need to see to use a makeshift crowbar on windows and to methodically comb the insides of houses, And it should be safe for the outskirts cause we can just run if things get hairy.
