Months after the outbreak it seemed that everything had gone back to normal. Minimal damaged was caused by the outbreak and few people were actually transformed into zombies. There were, however, a few casualties. Some people even tried to keep their zombified loved ones as "pets", believing that they were still human in some way. One man, notorious for harboring his undead son, frequently had disputes with his neighbors about the subject. Although the man usually kept tabs on his son, the son would sometimes escape his father's house and roam the streets. The neighbors did not like this at all. They feared for their safety and begged the man to put his son out of his misery. The father, however, did not comply. One night, the boy escaped, only to end up in the neighbors house. Seizing the opportunity, the neighbor shot the boy, but this time, when the boy died, he did not come back.
