"How bizarre is that Sarah?" Adam pointed to the TV with a look of confusion on his face. His girlfriend looked up at the TV from the book she was reading. It was the local 6 o'clock news.

"We repeat. There has been an outbreak of some sort of virus that magically brings people dead, back to life. Dr Romajin has more information."

It cuts to Dr Romajin.

"Although it does bring the dead back to life, It only brings a corpse back to life that has been dead for a few hours. So if you do live near a graveyard, you do not need to worry. These, undead living creatures, if you can call them that, have to feast on human flesh to survive."

"How can you tell if someone is undead doctor? And that they are in fact one of these, zombies?"

"Well they do not look human for one. They would more than likely have flesh peeled off of their body, to eat. Because they need to feed off something if they cannot get a warm blooded living human, such as there own body. Another thing is that they move slower then the average human.

"So you should be able to out run one, if need be?"

"Well you should be able to, but there is no guaranties. But if there is more than one, your in trouble I'm afraid, and it would be much harder to beat them..

"Thank you Doctor."

Adam turned off the TV and looked at his girlfriend of four years. They both had a look of shock on their faces.

"What is happening?" Sarah seemed shaken up, and Adam hugged her. Adam was in his early 20's and had short brown hair and was the athletic type. He was playing rugby for the Junior Hurricanes. He was wearing a blue tee shirt and black cargo shorts.

"Should we go block up all the windows or something?" Sarah asked. Sarah was 20 and had blonde hair and was also fit. She was working at the local hospital as a doctor. She was expecting a raise in the coming weeks. She wore a green top and jeans.

"I don't know Sarah. I really don't know." He shook his head as he got up and walked over to the window in the living room and drew back the curtains. He looked outside.

It was a calm and cool summer's evening. Kids were playing out on the street. Men were doing their gardens and their wives were chatting over the fence. All was normal. Adam walked back to the couch and sat down.

"Nah I don't think we should." Adam laughed. "I think it is just some bullshit joke the News crew has made up. Everything is completely normal outside. I think it was just some kind of joke, like an April fools prank or something like that."

"But its August." Sarah replied.

"Yeah I know. That's why I said 'or something like that." Sarah looked depressed and Adam comforted her once again. "Look, it's going to be alright. There is nothing to worry about. And even if there was, I would be your superhero and save you from anything that will come in our way!" He did a Superhero salute and Sarah laughed. "Why don't we head off to bed then? And I can show you some of these superhero moves." They both grinned.

"I like the sound of that" Sarah giggled, and they both got up and walked into their bedroom.
