"Night Surf" is a short story published in the Night Shift collection by Stephen King.

Template:Spoiler

Loosely related to the author's highly regarded novel The Stand, the brief story follows one evening with a group of austere teens, survivors of a catastrophic virus called A6, or "Captain Trips", that has wiped out virtually the entire population. A reference is made to a previous virus called A2, which the teens had all survived, leading them to think they were immune to A6's lethal effect. Towards the end of the story, some of them begin to show symptoms of A6, and they realize it is just a matter of time before they all die.

In this story, the origin of the virus is said to be from Southeastern Asia, which differs from the Stand's origin from a government laboratory in Nevada, USA.
