The Trotting Dead

by SharpQuill
Shining Armor wakes up in the middle of an apocalypse and is forced to come to terms to reality.

Greetings Citizens. This is Princess Celestia. I have come regarding news of the recent outbreak.
Shining Armor woke up, sweat dripping down his forehead, his hooves weak from months of laying down.
The disease is highly contagious. Those who are exposed and infected are now ordered to be executed.
The former guard carefully walked, his hoofsteps echoing in the emptied hospice. He came to the cafeteria door, seeing the message etched in blood.
Canterlot and Ponyville are confirmed to be overrun. All survivors will be evacuated to a safe haven in the Crystal Empire and Yakyakistan, and Las Pegasus. You will be escorted by Guards and Princesses.
DON'T ENTER. DEAD INSIDE.
Please, do not panic. Our researchers are safely examining the disease in order to find a cure for it. If you are a native resident of Las Pegasus, the Crystal Empire, or Yakyakistan, do not leave your homes until instructed. Remain calm and you will be updated as updates arrive.
Shining used his magic to lightly open the door, hearing hoofsteps inside. They neared the door, but something was wrong. They shuffled, like it was hard to walk fully. Soon, groaning joined the chorus of the steps.
A lone hoof made its way to the crack.
Inspired by The Walking Dead.
WARNING: Major Plot points do align, such as deaths and arrivals. Everything in between may reference TWD, but will be different. Some character parallels are obvious (Shining Armor and Rick Grimes) , and others aren't even there, meaning there are OCs. You can submit your OC to appear.
