[DISCONTINUED]
Living together since elementary school, Aron and Martyn were away from home for college. It could not get any boring for the two who appeared stuck in life's clockwork. Martyn was done with Aron's whimsical nature of having things his way until they saw their entire world turn upside down. The streets were now filled with zombies. Their lives of melancholy and monotony turned into those of survival and determination.
Aron, equipped with an Apocalypse Survival Guide they had made beforehand, set out with Martyn on a journey to find out what caused the crisis that humanity faced and ultimately prevent their impending doom. As they come across friends and foes along their way, Martyn begins to wonder whether he really knows his childhood friend.

How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse!

"The TV," Sherry pointed at the TV in the corner.


On the screen, they saw dozens of people dressed up as zombies, staggering toward a town square.


"An entire town celebrating Halloween as zombies?" MRJ muttered.


"That is wicked," MRJ agreed. "Some take Halloween too seriously."


"It's fun, right? To go trick-or-treating or partying with friends!"


"I've never trick-or-treated in my life," MRJ spoke frankly.


"Yeah, where I am from, there's no culture of Halloween. In fact–people are against it."


"They say it is a celebration of evil spirits," MRJ wiggled his fingers in front of her.


"Yeah, wouldn't have hurt to try once,"


"It is fun! Too bad, we're too old now."


The two spent time chatting about their lives until MRJ's phone rang. He took the call; it was AJ.


"My dude, I am at the entrance–time to go!" he said.


"Like super, super?" MRJ looked bummed out.


"Okay," MRJ did as he was told. "You're on speaker."


"Thanks for babysitting my little brother," AJ spoke gleefully. "I hope he behaved well?"


"Yeah, he was a good boy," Sherry grinned at MRJ.


"For real?" AJ sounded surprised on the phone. "That's super rare! I guess he liked the babysitter."


"O-kay, time to go!" MRJ stood up, flustered.


"Okie dokie!" AJ sounded cheerful. "Thanks again, Sherry. See you sometime?"


"He sure takes every chance to embarrass me," MRJ sighed.


"Come on, he cannot be that bad a brother!" Sherry joked.


"Well, I have to get going now," MRJ paused. "Would you–mind if I ask for your number?"


"I was gonna tell anyway," Sherry grinned.


"Well, then," MRJ and Sherry shook hands. "See you around?"


"Do we really have to do this tonight?" MRJ complained. "I'm super tired."


"Yeah, right! Just grab a snack and get back. We gotta finish this thing asap!"


"What the?!" MRJ exclaimed. "Why is our fridge filled with cup noodles?"


"How else we're gonna survive the Apocalypse?" AJ narrowed his eyes.


"Not–This is absurd! You are taking it too seriously, man!"


"Maybe you shouldn't be taking it too lightly, man,"


"Enough to last an apocalypse," AJ winked. "Just kidding. We may have to scavenge later on."


"Hold on, you used our entire food money at the mall to buy cup noodles?!"


"Of course not!" AJ scoffed. "We got some cash left."


"Fear not, I bought an electric stove too–rechargeable."


"You know what? I'm too tired to put up with your B.S. right now. I'm gonna inform your dad of your atrocities when he calls."


"Yeah, yeah, just make do with the noodles. And get me one too!"


The rest of the night passed by quickly. MRJ fell asleep at 2 AM. AJ was done with the final touches at the crack of dawn.


"Sleepy ass," AJ looked over at his sleeping roommate. "You'll thank me when we survive!"


AJ switched off the lights and walked back to his bed. He tripped over MRJ's charger wires.


"What the fu-!" AJ swore silently. "Jackass with his phone."


AJ fell asleep as soon as his face hit the pillow.
