"Open the door. The zombies are coming!" Bryan Hogan pounded on the door like crazy. I sat on the sofa, watching the security feed. Out in the hallway, Bryan was shielding his junior, Claudia Barton. On this exact day in my previous life, an hour before the outbreak, Bryan said he had an emergency at the hospital. In truth, he went to pick Claudia up. They ended up leading the zombies straight back home and I died getting torn apart trying to save them. Meanwhile, they lived off the supplies I'd stocked, surviving for three more years. "Eden, did you change the passcode?" Bryan asked anxiously, drenched in sweat. Claudia shrank into his arms, screaming, "Is Eden not home? I'm so scared, Bryan." I picked up the intercom and pressed the talk button. "I'm home." The two of them lit up. They shouted, "Open the door! Claudia twisted her ankle. She can't run. How can you be so cold?" I slurped a mouthful of freshly cooked seafood pasta, chewing loudly into the mic. "Not opening." "Why not?" they demanded. I replied, "Well, three people is too crowded. Besides, I think you two are filthy."
