Oscar Phillips (Bay of the Dead)

Oscar Phillips (born circa 1987) was the only survivor of the destruction of the Regal Cinema. He lived on Madoc Road, Splott.

Oscar attended "The All-Night Zombie Horror Show" at the Regal Cinema in Splott. During the event, an unidentified object crashed on Railway Street, destroying the cinema and killing 63 of the 64 cinemagoers. Oscar was the only survivor.

Following the incident, he spent the next three months in a coma in St Helen's Hospital. He was fed through a tube and breathed with the aid of a respirator. He was bathed once a day and turned regularly to avoid the onset of bedsores. His mother visited him at least once a day. She would talk to him, read to him and play his favourite music, including Queen, Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen, in the hope that he would somehow respond.

During the outbreak in Cardiff, Oscar was temporarily abandoned by the hospital staff when the hospital became surrounded by zombies. His EEG machine spiked and troughed and his body twitched and shuddered. Behind his eyelids, Oscar's eyes jerked and rolled and his lips released a low, wordless moan.

Oscar appeared unremarkable. Of medium height with sandy hair, he was slight, bordering on weedy and plain, bordering on ugly. (PROSE: Bay of the Dead)
