That was a good read, nicely laid out and it made me feel like I was there with you. As for the content of the post, it is completely fine this mod in essence is a survival game. If that person had seen you, he would have happily killed you off since he would never risk all the items he had on him on a new player.

May as well be holding a flare, since they are red.

Tougher and more dangerous zombies will be a nice addition to the mod

I like the idea of cannibalism and sickness a lot, it would be nice to have these intertwined together. It would be more realistic, I could suggest possible addiction to only eating human flesh, which can then give buffs to your blood, but obviously the negatives are the sicknesses you can get from it.
