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'...

"People are weird." Zed muttered.
Two weeks had passed. This Saturday, Addison and Zed were walking along the beach under the sun. And the countless foreign looks thrown at them.
"I think they've never seen two teenagers on a date before." Addison said in a sarcastic tone. "Or maybe it's my clothes, this pastel blue would shock more than one."
Zed burst out laughing. "For the umpteenth time of the day !"
For the past two weeks, they had hung outside as a couple a lot. On some days, it was great. On others, it was hard. But they kept on going.
"Or maybe it's my outfit ?" Zed scoffed. "Just when I thought that grey was fine !"
Someone behind them cleared their throat. "Excuse me ?"
They stopped and turned around. A patrol officer.
"The beach is forbidden to zombies."
Addison's face fell in confusion and shock.
"What ?" She tried to keep some sort of composure. "But all of downtown Seabrook is open to zombies."
"This does not include the beach, Miss." The officer responded, stoic. "Your... friend must go back to a non restricted area."
"Is this serious ?" She exclaimed. "The beach has always been considered a part of downtown Seabrook !"
Zed's hand on her shoulder.
"Officer, this makes no sense !" She could feel her blood boil. "Why does it matter if zombies have access to the beach ?! They should be allowed to !"
"Look, Miss." The officer frowned. "I don't make the rules, I make sure people follow them."
His hand on his Taser.
"Addison." Zed gave her shoulder a light squeeze. "Let's just go."
She looked at the Taser and nodded, letting her boyfriend lead her away from here.
"This is so unfair !" Addison cried out. "Who cares if we're on that stupid beach ?"
Zed patted her shoulder. "It's alright."
"No, it's not !" She was furious. "It's not at all !"
They were back downtown, walking past stores, several of them sporting 'No zombies' signs.
"Who decides who can go where ? What a joke !" She grumbled, pointing at the signs. "Like ? Downtown Seabrook is supposed to be a non restricted area !"
"I mean, we're making progress." Zed said. "There was no non restricted areas in Seabrook before."
How could he be so collected about this whole situation when Addison wanted to scream ?
