Synopsis 2nd Draft

Prologue: In the year 2015 a deadly virus is released into the world by an

unknown source causing people to mutate into walking corpses that feed on the

flesh of surviving humans. Romeo, a 22-year-old survivor, was part of the British

army in 2010, here he was taught several key survival techniques and becamewell equipped for the oncoming storm that was the virus. Juliet, an 18-year-old

survivor, didn’t have much in her life before the virus took over. She lived athome with her younger brothers and sisters. However, as soon as the virus

attacked her family was one of the first families to be eradicated by the virus. She

spent several weeks on here own living off whatever she could find, because

after the virus hit many people scavenged whatever resources they could find

and headed for the coast. Juliet was attacked by a pack of zombies while she was

out on a scavenge hunt during the cold winter month of December. All hope

seemed lost as the zombies surrounded her. But from out of the shadows

stepped Romeo, who used his military expertise to take down the severalzombies that were attacking her with ease. After this the two decided to pair up

and stay together until they find a cure or a safe location.

Story: Romeo and Juliet are sitting on the side of the road talking about where

they should head to next. Romeo believes there is no sanctuary no matter what

direction they go in, but Juliet believes that if the head to the rural areas of

London they will be safe. An hour or two passes and Romeo reluctantly agrees

with Juliet and they head off to a nearby dirt track. While on the journey Romeo

hears a faint growl in the distance he asks Juliet to wait while he checks out the

area. He spots a group of dogs that begin to chase the two protagonists. Romeo

and Juliet come to a fork in the road where they can either go right, left orstraight ahead. Romeo decides to draw their attention away from Juliet and

divert into the bushes leaving Juliet alone to escape.

Romeo manages to kill all three of the dogs and begins his pursuit for Juliet. Juliet

makes her way to a nearby farm where she looks for Romeo but cannot find him

so se decides to go off south towards a large forest where the two of them both

agreed to meet up at if anything would ever go wrong. Romeo gets to the same

farm Juliet was at but instead of finding Juliet there he finds an unknown beast

trapped inside a steel farmhouse after hearing the beast roar Romeo flees the

scene. While running, Romeo notices a fresh footprint in the mud. Combined

with his expert tracking skills he realizes that the footprint belongs to Juliet and

remembers the meeting point at the forest.

The two characters both make it to the forest but while there Romeo encounters

a Zombie. It stands propped up against a tree waiting for any signs of life. Romeo

stands in silence and pulls down his hood. The zombie smells Romeos sent and

turns around. It begins to walk towards him and before it reaches Romeo, Romeo

pulls out his gun and shoots the zombie point blank in the face.

A local infected male staggers through the forest. He calls out for help but no one

answers his cry. Romeo begins to give up his search for Juliet and sits down on anearby log. Romeo then falls asleep. When he awakes, Romeo decides that his life

is no longer worth living if he has to live in a world without Juliet. Romeo pulls

off his Gas mask thus allowing the airborne virus to infect his bloodstream

causing his vision to become slightly blurred and for paranoia to slowly begin to

consume his mind. The infected male notices Romeo and calls out for help. The

infected male runs towards Romeo. Romeo stands up and pulls out his gun. As

Romeo try’s to aim his gun at the infected his vision becomes increasinglyblurred causing it harder to see for Romeo. The infected see’s this as a chance to

attack Romeo and the two scuffles on the ground for a while. Romeo regains his

sight and over powers the dying Infected male. Romeo tells the infected to get on

his knees. Romeo points his gun at the back of t he infected’s head and pulls thetrigger. Juliet appears from behind and grabs Romeos arm. Romeos paranoia

takes over and his vision blurs once again and as he feels the grip on his arm he

spins around and fires his gun into Juliet’s stomach. Juliet staggers into Romeos

arms and dies silently. Romeo lets out a scream before he picks up his gun and

points it at his head.

Epilogue: As Romeo sits on the ground with a dead Juliet lying in his arms with

his gun pointed at his head a small boy is seen being chased by several men in

gasmasks. A distraught Romeo tries to ignore the young boys plead for help but

cannot kill himself due to his gun having run out of bullets. Romeo gently lays

Juliet’s body onto the ground and quickly runs to help the young boy. Romeo

sneaks up on the gasmask wearing assailants and silently takes them out one by

one. Before killing the last enemy Romeo asks why they’re chasing the young boyand the dying gasmask wearing enemy replies “ Because he’s the cure”
