Page 1
On the right side of the image, two Villagers stand inside a small stone and brick cave, looking trapped and worried. One Villager stands slightly behind the other near the back wall, while the second Villager in front has their arms raised as if calling for help. The cave is narrow with stone walls and a wet floor, and water appears to have pushed them into this tight space. The left side of the image is a plain light-grey area reserved for text overlay.

My two villagers run off. They run off all the time. Always in an unsafe direction. 'Stay near me,' I say. 'Stay out of the cave!' Do they hear me? Nope. The river pushes them right into a tight stone cave. Now they are stuck inside, with water up to their knees. One villager lifts his arms up high and yells for help. But the cave is too cramped, the water too strong, and my two villagers... well, they are just villagers.

On the left side of the image, a Zombie lunges forward inside a dark cave, grabbing and biting the nearest Villager while scratching at them with its other hand. The Villager recoils with arms raised in a frightened, defensive pose. Behind the first Villager, the second Villager stumbles backward in panic, patches of green beginning to appear on their skin as the zombie infection starts to take hold. A second Zombie watches menacingly from deeper in the cave behind the first. The scene is set in a dim, shadowy cave with grey stone walls and brown dirt blocks, lit with faint reddish light from deeper within. The right side of the image is a plain semi-transparent overlay over the cave background, left clear for text.

Then a shape moves in the dark. A zombie jumps from the shadows and grabs one villager. Scratch. Bite. Just like that. The other villager steps back, but the infection has a hold of him. Green spots spread on his skin. Another zombie groans from deep in the cave. And my two villagers? Their eyes go hollow. Their skin goes green. They are not my villagers now.

On the right side of the image, a Zombie stands engulfed in bright orange flames at the mouth of a stone cave, burning as sunlight hits it from the right. Behind the burning Zombie, deeper in the dark cave, two zombie villagers stand close together in the shadows — their skin now fully green with hollow white eyes, still wearing tattered brown villager robes with their oversized noses visible. One of them stares toward the fire with empty, hollow eyes, while the other hangs back, neither daring to step into the light.

One zombie ambles to the cave mouth. One step into the sun and whoosh! Bright flames burn it up. That zombie's plan of action goes up in smoke. My zombie villagers do not move. They stand deep in the shade and stare at the fire with hollow white eyes. Too fearful to burn. Too zombie to flee. I have to save them. But how can I save a zombie who could bite my face off?

On the left side of the image, Narrator stands on a wooden porch or covered deck area, positioned near a brewing stand, with a determined expression as he works on preparing a cure. A dark brewing stand apparatus sits in the centre-left of the scene, with a potion fizzing and bubbling on top of it. The scene is set indoors under a wooden shelter with lanterns and lit candles scattered around, creating a warm, workshop-like atmosphere. Through the open wooden archway behind Narrator, a green suburban backyard with trees is visible under a daytime sky. The right side of the image is a plain, faded or blurred extension of the scene, providing clear space for text overlay.

I dash back to my work room and dig through all my boxes. A red crop. A golden carrot. Yes! I shove it all into the stand. The potion fizzes and bubbles and starts to glow. It smells like old socks and hope. 'This better work,' I say. I have enough for one chance at a solution.

On the right side of the image, Narrator creeps cautiously inside a dark stone cave, viewed from a slightly elevated angle, carrying two small glass bottles of glowing potion cure. Below him, two zombie villagers with green skin, hollow white eyes, and tattered brown villager robes with their oversized noses visible crouch together on the cold stone floor, one slumped against the other. Narrator is in the act of throwing a potion bottle that smashes onto the zombie villagers' large green blocky heads, with the cure splashing everywhere in a bright burst. The cave environment is made of dark grey stone blocks with dim lighting. The left side of the image is reserved for text overlay.

My mission: save my villagers. The cave is dark. Very dark. I creep in slowly with two glass bottles of potion. There they are. Two zombie villagers crouch on the cold stone and groan. One rests on the other. They look up at me with sad hollow eyes. 'Sorry about this,' I say. I fling both potions as hard as I can. Smash! Splash! The potion splashes all over them.

On the left side of the image, Narrator stands facing two cured Villagers inside a cosy wooden structure, all three smiling warmly. The nearest Villager, fully restored to normal with medium-brown skin, their classic brown tunic, and oversized nose, grins gratefully at Narrator. A second cured Villager stands just behind the first, also beaming with gratitude. Between them, a small wooden table displays a pile of bright green emeralds and bundles of crops as generous trade offerings. The scene is set inside a wooden building with green foliage visible through the windows, bathed in warm daylight. The right side of the image is reserved for text overlay.

It works. It truly works! The green fades. The groaning stops. My two villagers stand there, blinking and smiling. They are my villagers again! What a celebration! They pile the table high with green gems and golden carrots and all that they have. 'Wow,' I say, and I pack the gems into my pockets. Then I ask a question. 'What if another zombie villager is out there? A zombie villager that needs saving?' My villagers stop smiling.
