Plot
In a ram packed supermarket Shaun King throws his food into a basket and quickly pays and leaves. On the way home, the radio is giving out instructions for puplic safety. Whilst Shaun changes the radio station to classical music. He is not aware that there is a head on collision in front of him, Shaun just screams and swerves around the crash just when he looks up. He then changes the radio to the local station. The radio informs that the infection has spread to the town where Shaun lives, and tells everybody to stay indoors.

When Shaun arrives home he is greeted by his fiancée, Katie Burke. Shaun and Katie have a disagreement over whether to stay at the house or go to Katie's family in the next town. Once Shaun and Katie are settled in the living room, a bang is heard. Shaun runs to the kitchen to see a zombie at the back door, Katie goes upstairs and leans out of the window to distract the zombie whilst Shaun opens the door quickly and kicks the zombie away. He then steps outside and stabs the zombie, however the zombie gets up unaffected. Shaun then hits his foot down on the zombies head smashing his skull. After this took place, Katie brings up that Shaun has killed a human and asking if it felt different killing the zombie, Shaun just snapped but told her that it was easier and promising that he won't make a habit of doing it.
