In the november of 2012, you were in a fatal accident, resulting in your death. However, it stated in your will that your brain be preserved for scientific research, and it was. However, before your brain was taken out of the deep freeze, nukes fell, and the world went to hell. Only a few thousand people survived with first five years after the apocalypse. Among them, was Dr. Frankenstien. Nobody knows his real name, except that he took the name of the doctor, and began following the doctor's experiments. His first successful experiment involved taking a stolen brain, and placing it in a new body. You're the lucky fellow who got to come back from the dead.
You awaken on a platform. You can't tell any more than that, you can't feel it, you're just aware that you're on one. It's outline appears harsh and black and white at first, but eventually the world comes to colour, first with the primaries, then creating basic tones, then other colours. Standing over you is an elderly man, grinning like a fool. |

| "YOU LOOK TASTY" The old man screams as he tucks into his dinner, the newly awakened zombie. |

| The man looks at you, returning your monosylbatic mumbles. "Hrm?" He asks, waiting for you to say something, or do something, or show some signs of intelligence. |

"Ah...Uhn...Wha...What..."
The thought takes some time to form and translate into words.
"...What's the year?" |

"...What? Ah, so this is what they used i...i..."
I lose the ability to think and therefore speak for a couple seconds, but it soon comes back.
"...So this is what they used it for. The research? Say, this body doesn't feel familia...Oh." |

| "Before I send you off, I'd like to make sure everythings in working order. Try walking about for a few minutes. Also, you have a weak laser pistol attached to your eyes, do try and make sure that works too. It's a secondary weapon, mind you, as it drains your batteries. If your batteries die, you die, as the life support functions keeping your brain in tact fail to work |

I get up slowly and pace around the room.
"How do I use the laser pistol?" |

"I know, I know. If I drain my battery by shooting a laser, then I'm not going to do it any longer than a few seconds."
I concentrate on the floor and think of throwing a baseball at it. |

| THe man snaps his fingers "THink about using your off hand to throw the ball. Sorry, forgot to mention that. If you thought about using your good hand, the laser would be too sensitive and you'd be more likely to misfire." |

| The world turns to black outlines on a red background for a few seconds, and you find youself looking at a charred line on the ground when it comes back to full colour. "Brilliant! Could you see all right? It's supposed to use ultrasonic edge detection so you could still see while blinded." |

The stairs lead up to an old shack, with nary a furnishing besides a trap door that leads down to where you were.
No flying cars, no steel buildings, no holograms. In fact, it looks more like the wild west than the future. Buildings are made from dry, withered planks of wood. and there isn't a single intact car in sight. Trailers, minihomes, and shacks make up the homes of the town, and two wooden buildings with several painted signs in front represent a bar and grill, and a general store. |
