In the conformist and uniform town of Seabrook, an explosion spread a disease that turned a part of the population into what people called 'zombies'. Fifty years later, their descendants still have to live with the aftermath.

"Addison !"
She smiled at the familiar voice as she entered the cafeteria with her friend Bree.
"Hey guys !" She waved as the two of them sat at the table where Zed was with Eliza and Bonzo.
"Hey, man !" Two of the football team players stopped by them and fistbumped him.
"Hey ! What's up ?" Zed greeted them back.
Who would've thought the coach would give Zed his chance and take him on the football team when the school year had started ? He had actually become their star player, which led to zombie students' full integration in the school.
Addison was glad that at least here, they could be themselves without anyone caring about their relationship.
"You're training with us after class ?"
Football season was over and Seabrook High had won, which was very new for everyone. Even though Zed didn't have practice anymore, he still had to train to stay fit for next year.
"Yeah, sure !" He told his teammates before turning back to his friends.
"So..." Addison started. "How did it go with your father ?"
"Yesterday ?" Zed furrowed his eyebrows. "When we got home ?"
She hummed.
"Got the scolding of a lifetime !"
"Really ?"
"Yeah, I've been told off enough for the next ten years !"
"You could hear him from the street !" Eliza added.
Bonzo and Bree burst out laughing. Addison shook her head in disbelief, holding back a chuckle.
"Wow, I'm glad my suffering makes you laugh that much !" Zed said in an exaggerated whiny tone.
"Aw, you poor thing !" Eliza snorted.
"Okay but, serious talk, you went to replace the battery of your Z-band ?" Addison asked.
"Yes." He nodded. "But it was strange. They said I still had 5 days of charge on it."
She frowned.
"So... I was reluctant at first, but I still told them I had an attack." Zed said, his face suddenly serious. "They said it was weird, so I was like 'no kidding' !"
Bonzo said something in zombie tongue.
"No Bonzo, I didn't actually say that." Zed scoffed. "I didn't want to wake up the dragon !"
"The dragon ?" Bree asked.
"The officer in charge of Z-bands." He explained. "She is freaking scary."
