It had been an exhausting day at the morgue. The case of the missing watch was solved thanks to her visions. Liv could feel the brain slowly wearing off and she was thankful. On one hand she could feel the true Liv begin to surface, on the other hand that meant she was hungry. It was a lose-lose situation either way. She had some leftovers in the fridge but decided to not have brains just quite yet tonight. She'll eat in the morning.
Liv's phone rang. She took out her phone to check the text. It was from Peyton.
Got out of the office early. Are you still at work? - P.
She texted her best friend back and decided to order food for them. Maybe they could watch a movie together. With her true self slowly surfacing they could go down memory lane and watch some classics from pre-zombie days.
She dialled the number for the pizza place down the street.
“Hi! Could I order one meat lover’s veggie pack pizza and one death row pizza with some extra chilli peppers?” She asked.
The person on the other hand seemed unsure with the extra peppers seeing as the pizza was already deadly but took the order anyways.
Not long after the door opened with Peyton.
“Hey! I ordered pizza and thought we could do some movie classics?”
“Perfect! What brought this on?” Peyton smiles.
“The brain is slowly leaving me so I think old Liv is starting to resurface a little.” Liv explains.
“You’re not gonna eat my brain are you?” Peyton looks at Liv doubtfully.
“No. I think I can resist. I’m not super hungry yet. I’ll eat in the morning.”
“Let me just change and we can begin!”
Halfway through the second movie and nearly at the end of their pizza round there’s a thump on the door.
“Did you hear that?” Liv asks.
Peyton was so engrossed in the movie that she doesn’t reply.
Liv decides it was just her imagining things. However, not long after there’s another thump on the door.
“Okay. You did hear that right?”
“Hm?” Peyton looks at her biting her last pizza slice.
“I think someone knocked on the door.”
“I didn’t hear anything.”
Liv squints her eyes at the door and returns to the movie.
When the third thump comes she sighs.
“That’s it. I know I didn’t eat the brains of a woman with hallucinations.”
“Who’d be knocking at an hour like this?” Peyton asks as Liv walks over to the door.
Suddenly the person behind the door starts banging on the door.
“If you can call that knocking.” Liv mutters.
The banging doesn’t cease.
“Alright, alright, I’m coming!” Liv yells. The banging stops.
She unlocks the door and gently opens it just to look at who’s behind the door.
Liv’s jaw nearly falls to the ground.
