int. Joey's house- Night

Male voices are heard. The camera scrolls by several objects, a radio making static, hiking backpacks, a first aid kit, food, and a gun. The title "FOUR DAYS LATER" is shown. Four men, JOEY, MAX, PETER and TERRANCE are sitting around the fireplace eating MREs.

Peter

But where would we go?

Last I heard, there was a safe area being set up in the park.

winl996 - a year ago 3 versions.

terrance

But how long ago was that? We've had silence for at least twenty four hours!

sjwasian - a year ago 5 versions.

Max

(Uncaring) What was it, like two days ago?

sjwasian - a year ago 5 versions.

joey

(scoffs) Psh, a lot can happen in two days.

sjwasian - a year ago 7 versions.

Max

Yeah yeah, i know. But still, it's not like we're in the best position here. We haven't left the house in two days and I don't think we're gonna last. We're almost outta supplies, and I'd rather head out before we run out. Besides, I'm gettin' bored in here.

sjwasian - a year ago 11 versions.

Terrance

Seriously man? You want to head out into the unknown against those...those...things?!

Terrance

Yeah yeah, whatever. Look, we're not going out there and getting our... brains or whatever ripped out just because you want some kind of adventure! This isn't like the movies, Max. We would never make it. There are millions out there crawling around as we speak! And there are more turning by the second! Plus, we've got enough supplies to last us at least another week. We're safe here, and I say we stay.

winl996 - a year ago 9 versions.

max

Yeah well what if somethin' drastic happens? What if a horde of them barges through the doors and breaks down the windows? Are we just going to sit around here waitin' to get our skulls ripped open?

sjwasian - a year ago 7 versions.

joey (CONT'D)

(Interrupting) Then we leave. What Terrance is trying to say is that there's no point in risking our lives unless we really need to. You guys are just wasting your breath arguing over this like kids over some video game.

sjwasian - a year ago 6 versions.

Peter

(motioning towards the fire) Uh, guys, I think the fire's running low, should I go get some wood?

winl996 - a year ago 4 versions.

JOEY, MAX PETER and TERRANCE run outside, clearing first the porch, then the yard of zombies. They shout directions at one another and shoot the incoming zombies that rush them from all sides.

sjwasian - a year ago

Max

(shoves a zombie back from him and then shoots it) Head for the street!

sjwasian - a year ago

The four run towards the street, and gun down incoming zombies. They reach the center and stop, stand in a circle, and keep their guns pointing out. Soon enough, the mass of zombies stops, and they stand panting. TERRANCE starts to laugh nervously, and then they all start laughing.
