Rooftop Sunset: the zombie couple sunset video

This is the quietest story. The two of you sit side by side on a high-rise rooftop above a silent skyline, with smoke rising in the distance and a huge orange sun going down. The survivor leans in, the zombie partner stiffly puts an arm around them, and the camera comes round to show both faces in the last light.

What happens in the 15 seconds

• 0–5 s: Both sit on the edge of the rooftop with their backs to the camera, silhouetted against the setting sun.
• 5–10 s: The survivor rests their head on the partner’s shoulder; the partner stiffly lifts an arm around them.
• 10–15 s: The camera circles to the front: the sunset lights both faces, the survivor smiles through tears and the partner’s mouth lifts slightly.
