Plot 125: Zombie (based on Zombie by The Cranberries, - requested by Lizzie B)
Muse A is a young soldier, and has been brought up in a society where war is a given, yet people have lost sight of what they’re fighting for. They’ve grown up surrounded by it, and once they’re old enough to fight, they fight. They’re trained and given guns to fight the battles of their ancestors, and they go in blindly, expected to follow orders and become yet another zombie in the hoard fighting for what might not even be a better future. Muse B is the single parent of a soldier for the opposition. They’re adamantly anti-war, but allowed their child to enlist and fight for what they believed to be right. A few months into the war, Muse B’s child is killed in combat. Almost a year later, Muse A shows up on Muse B’s doorstep. Muse A admits to having killed Muse B’s child on the battlefield, but also confesses that the action served as a wake up call, and since then, Muse A has learned to think for themselves and quit the service. All they need to try and continue to move on is the forgiveness of Muse B.
Optional:Â Muse A, after being forgiven by Muse B, vows to help support them, and through that, gets closer to them and develops romantic feelings for them.
Optional: Muse B does not forgive Muse A and swears to get revenge for what they’ve done. Muse A does not give up, and despite Muse B’s efforts to hurt them, continues to try and help them heal.
Optional: Muse A finds Muse B in a state in which they cannot take care of themselves. Overcome with guilt, Muse A moves in and becomes Muse B’s caregiver.
