The sun was setting on the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the small town of Maplewood. It had been a few weeks since John and his zombie girlfriend, Sarah, had first met. Since then, they had grown close and were now inseparable.
John was walking with Sarah through the town square when he noticed something strange. There were two figures standing in the shadows of an alleyway across from them.

He stood there alone for what felt like hours until finally deciding it was time to go home and try to forget about what just happened - but deep down he knew that would never be possible no matter how hard he tried because no matter how much time passed by or how many miles separated them, his love for Sarah would always remain strong within him forevermore...
