No money, no jobs, no food, hordes of people milling around in a lawless urban landscape, banding into gangs, eating whatever they can find, eating other people, turning into twisted mockeries of their former humanity.
Yes, the zombie invasion is real, but it’s us it’s us it’s us it’s us it’s us it’s us it’s us [...]
