The two boys climbed the cliff like they often did. Like most boys they tussled and climbed rocks. They ran after each other and gave chase. They decided to climb the lone tree on the cliff. They were nimble boys, both small yet strong for their age. Their father called to them and said it was dinner time. The boys climbed higher so the father went towards them. The branch holding the boys broke, while the father desperately tried to hold both boys about to fall off the cliff. Only one could live so he let go of both and prayed.

The Theatre
The movie theatre was going to close down. Not many people went to the old place and if a hit film did not come soon, probably nobody would. Ticket prices were slashed and concession foods prices were lowered. That did little for the sales. Dave found a mysterious man who had a special movie. The movie was so lucid and scary people started coming in droves to see it. Eventually though the movie became the reality. Zombies now infest the world.
