Theme Primer/Introduction

No-one knows what caused it, but one day, the dead started walking. It came out of nowhere, sudden, like an earthquake, one that would change America, and maybe the world, forever. The bite of a walker is worse than a death sentence, it's a guarantee that you'll become one of them, unless you put a bullet in your own head... Or let someone else do it for you.

It's been two months now, and still the radio is silent. We don't even know if there's anyone alive out there. We could be the last humans left on the planet. Me and my family were shopping at the mall when they came. It was pure panic, chaos that they created. No-one realized what was happening at first. Doesn't matter what kind of shit you see in life, nothing prepares you for seeing that, seeing people around you getting torn apart. We hunkered down in our basement until the world went quiet. Didn't take long to find a few more who survived. We've stayed in Summer Creek as long as we can. We've gathered our supplies. We're headed south. Looking for survivors, for some place safe enough to rest our heads. There has to be somewhere the dead haven't infested, right? The radios gone silent. The skies are just as silent. But we're going to keep going. This can't be how it ends..

If you find this letter please don't loose faith. The radio runs at noon every day. We'll find you. We'll come for you.

God be with you.
