After the first scene some time has passed, but it is clearly the same day.
The group are in the same room all hanging about. They seem bored. Thomas is by the window and is looking out of it, clearly distracted from reading his book. Isabel is sitting alone and Josh and Brydie are sitting near each other.
Josh
I'm bored
Brydie
We're all bored
Josh
How long's it been now?
Brydie
Err, I think they said 26 days
Josh
Jheeze really? It feels longer
Brydie
I know, we haven't been out in weeks.
Josh
*noticing Isabel alone in the corner* She's acting weird, what's up with her?
Brydie
Well she hasn't seen her family in ages, we're having to ration our food and we've been stuck in the same stupid room for what feels like a billion days, maybe that's what's bugging her
Josh
Yeah well we're all in the same situation and you don't see me sulking about it
Brydie
Look just leave her, it's hard for all us but we just take it in different ways
Josh
Whatever
Thomas is looking out of the window when he sees something in the bush. He then realises it's a zombie lying on the floor.
Thomas
Hey don't panic
Brydie
Why what's happened?
Josh
Have we ran out of beans?
Brydie nudges him
Thomas
I think there's a person out there
Josh
Ah let's see!
Josh rushes to the window and pulls back the curtains and cardboard, causing light to pour in. The group squint at the sight of it.
Isabel
What's happening?
Josh
There's a zombie out there
Thomas
Don't use that word!
Brydie
I think it's dead
Thomas
I don't know
Thomas walks away from the window
Thomas
Guys we have to go, I don't think it's safe to stay here
Brydie
You serious?
Josh
Don't be such a drama queen. We just need to check if it's dead that's all
Thomas
Oh yeah and how are we gonna do that?
Josh
We can poke it or something? I don't mind going outside
Brydie
For once I think Josh may be right. How you gonna do it?
Josh
I'll just get a stick from outside and give it a nudge, and if it don't move then the zombie is obviously dead
Brydie
They're not zombies they're people with cerebrum Mortius Syndrome
Josh
Yeah, or zombies. Anyway I'll go out on my own I don't need anyone with me
Brydie
No we'll all go, because if one of us gets hurt then we're all in danger
Thomas
We're not going outside!!
Thomas' sudden outburst shocks the group and usually he's calm and content.
Josh
Wowa calm down man, if you don't wanna go that's fine, we all know you're a bit, well you know
Thomas
A bit what?
Josh
A bit of a coward
Thomas
Oh I'm the coward? I'm the one who rescued you when you were nearly bitten and everyone abandoned you. If I knew you were such a prick I wouldn't of bothered.
Josh pushes Thomas and they start pushing each other, Brydie intervenes
Brydie
Guys stop! It's us verses them if we start fighting we might as well give up!
Thomas and Josh calm down but don't apologise.
Brydie
Now are we going outside?
Josh
I think we should
Brydie - to Isabel-
Isabel?
Isabel
What?
Brydie
Do you think we should go out?
Isabel
Er yeah sure
Brydie
Cool, Thomas?
Thomas
Yeah fine
Brydie
Okay good
