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.
In this society, there'...

"The weather is so so nice !" Addison said cheerfully. "It's great !"
"Yeah !" Zed replied, lying beside her on the blanket they had put on the grass underneath them.
The sun was shining and the temperature was very high for a simple spring day. The perfect weather to hang out in the park on a Saturday afternoon. There were quite a few people, some zombies some not, but they mostly stayed between themselves. Since it was their first time outside without any of their friends and in broad daylight, Zed and Addison had purposefully chosen a place further from everybody else to be left alone.
"Can you pass me some apple, please ?"
"Sure !" She nodded and looked in her bag. "Here, handsome." She said while handing him a quarter.
He scoffed at the word. "How haven't you fainted yet at my sight ?"
"Zed !" She exclaimed. "I won't compliment you again."
"Oh, you will !" He laughed out loud. "You always do."
She pouted.
"But..." He sat up and cupped her cheek. "You're way more beautiful."
"Aaaw... You're so cute, why are you so cute ?"
He shrugged. "It's in my genes."
She burst out laughing. "Wow ! Fearless much ?"
"Always with you."
He kissed her cheek and happily ate his quarter.
"It's so good !"
"It's just an apple I cut in four, Zed." She said while struggling to put her hair back in a bun, partly because it was so hot, but also to make the color less noticeable.
Zed always said she was the most beautiful wearing it down. But even if she didn't want to admit it out loud, in a town as uniform as Seabrook, showing her natural white hair to everyone still made her a little self-conscious.
"Well, you can taste the chef's touch."
"You seriously !" She cried out, finally done with fixing her hair.
"Please only cook apple quarters next time we hang out at your house." He said in an exaggerated tone. "Five star meal !"
She laughed even louder before pecking his cheek. He grinned and kissed her in the corner of her lips.
"HEY !"
They both froze and looked in the direction of the voice. A guy came over to them. Just when they thought they were sitting far enough from everyone else.
