Description My 2nd TLOU fan art after many procrastinations and a huge dose of motivations.

*** I do apologize for my english in advance ***

Jack experienced the outbreak when he was only 16. While they were trying to gather some foods at the Boston Prime Supermarket on a cold night, they encountered a pack of runners. They started to run but were outnumbered. They were cornered. Scared out of their minds. While having the chance, his father ordered his wife and Jack to go first while he and his other son(Jack's older brother) distract them. Gunshots louden the whole market, deafening both Jack and his mother's ears but at the same time, attracting the other infected outside the market. They kept on running without even looking back once. Once they were out of the area and safe. They were tired but managed to get at least 3 months of foods. Jack's mother began to make fire while Jack just stared at the empty void of the same direction where his father and brother were left behind. They heard a couple of gunshots and follow by the last. Jack's mother told Jack that they his father knows where we are so they waited. While Jack waited for them, he found a working camera. They waited for 5 hours hoping for them to come back and share the treasure that they had found but there was no one . 

Now 22, he had joined the firefly just after his mother passed away from natural causes. He had lost all hope and knew this was his last stop but he denied it. He told himself he wants to make something right even it was small. He wants to change something. 

The firefly main goal is to find a cure for the humanity so does Jack. However though, he was just a messenger. A lonely messenger but he seemed to brush it off as he was mostly a loner while he was in high school. Fortunately, Jack knew how to handle himself during tough situations except for this one.

He was given orders by one of the higher ranking fireflies which was to send a package of medicines and surgical kits to the other side of town. Without hesitation, he did some preparations and sets off the next day. After 2 miles of walking, he took a break, sipped on some water and record a vlog just to pass the time. In the empty wasteland, he heard a voice. No, 2 voices. He looked around trying to find the source and immediately saw 2 figures in the distance. He quickly ducked behind a pile of rubbles. He peeked over and saw someone wearing a red t shirt and someone who he vaguely saw a girl with a brown jacket. They were laughing out loud like they were best friends despite what had happened since the outbreak. Jack quickly and quietly sneaked away from them and that was the last time he saw them. 

After 1 week on the road, Jack barely reached the location as he fought a couple of other survivors 2 days ago. Tired and worn out. He drank some water and proceeded meeting the people that wants the package that can make someone live longer. Someone told Jack that they were living in an old building with a facade of a closed down barber shop on the first floor. However, Jack looked around and there was no one at all like they ran off in a hurry. He searched from first floor to the last and no one.

"Assholes." Jack murmured.

Suddenly, he heard a rustle followed by a click. Slowly walking to the noise of the click. He saw a clicker just across the hallway, scanning for possible sounds. He threw a stone across the room which caught the clicker's attention so he can kill it with a rebar that he found laying on the floor. He slowly walked behind it and the next moment, with one forceful swing on the head, it was laying on the floor jittering and after that motionless. Jack stood up and took a breath. He heard another sound behind him but just as soon he turned around, it was literally behind him. He fell down along with the infected. 

After the intense struggle, he stood up once again but felt a sharp pain of his left arm. During that moment, he knew that his last stop was now. He just looked at it without saying a word as his death doesn't mean anything to the firefly or the world. He was ready to accept death but before the infection takes over him, he want to doa study on how long exactly will it take to for him to lose control of himself. After 22 hours, he noticed that his body began to appear some acne like bubbles, some little foaming under his nose and began to twitch uncontrollably every 10 minutes.

On his final minutes, he turned on his camera to record all of it including the things that he wrote on the whole and the progress of the infection. Just as he barely write the last letter, he dropped the black chalk and just stood there motionless. After exhaling one last breath, he has join alongside with family once again.
