Celebrating a holiday is a stupid idea when you've all just fought a zombie horde.

With dinner finished, Reilly brings a tray of marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers to the fire. "Hey everyone, time for s'mores."

"Yes, chocolate!" Madison yells.

The group gathers around the fire again, and sticks with marshmallows are passed around for roasting. For the first time since the battle against the horde, you see relief and a bit of happiness on the faces of the survivors. People are talking, laughing, and enjoying the taste of the sweet treats. Two full bags of marshmallows, ten bars of chocolate, and an unopened box of graham crackers are all eaten. It might be the last time for such a dessert for a while to come, and you hope it was worth it in the end.
