End Scene (Alternative Ending)

ALTERNATIVE ENDINGS

Zombie

WHY THE ENDINGS

Ok so we have decided to come up with more than one ending, an alternate ending to be precise, this is because giving an alternate ending allows the characters to have either a better or worse ending, some people like happy endings some people like tragic endings. The first ending is a happy ending and the second a tragic comedy ending.

ENDING 1

The first ending, runs along the lines of, the zombie gets a speed dating application though the mail, and decides to go for the chance at speed dating because he/she is all alone and has

nothing to lose, and this could give the chance to be with some one.

The zombie then goes to the speed dating and every one who sees him/her runs away or screams because of how he/she looks, then another zombie turns up at speed dating. And the 2 zombie start

talking, but after the night is over they go home and don’t see each other for a while.

then one night the other zombie is knocking at the door because he/she liked the main zombie in the speed dating. And they live

“happily ever after”

ENDING 2

The second ending is more tragic, and rune along the line of instead of speed dating, the zombie finds an online dating website, he/she signs up to the web site, and instantly gets 3 reply's from users of the website and he/she check them they run out to be only span mail, but the last one is an invite from another zombie to a café near by, the zombie goes there and only sees 2 people there and he/she asks about another zombie, and it turns out to be a trick by the people in the café *not the owners of the café* he/she then goes home and starts to watch love movies by him/herself again while eating his/her own arm. And this is the finish of the second ending
