Zombies

The United States is devastated by a mysterious phenomenon that reanimates recently deceased human beings as flesh-eating Zombie (fictional)s. Three weeks after it began—despite the best efforts of the US government and local authorities to control the situation—millions of people have been killed and reanimated; social order is collapsing. Some rural communities and the National Guard have been effective in fighting the zombie hordes in open country, but urban centers are helpless and largely overrun.
