About

The Dead Walk Again is a conceptual piece oriented around a few basic concepts: 1. A zombie apocalypse has occurred. The Dead have risen from their graves and anyone that dies from anything besides serious head trauma will reanimate as a member of the walking dead. 2. A group of survivors somewhere in the United States have set up a website to allow very basic communication among other survivors through surviving PDA and wireless devices. 3. That people from all over the country have sent in their personal narratives to be told on their site. Outside of this page, the credits page, and reader comments, this site will remain completely and totally in story mode at all times. This means that establishing a basic world structure to the overarching storyline is important. First, I want to emphasize realism whenever possible in storytelling. We are very much focused on the few survivors of a society that has shut down by zombies roaming in hordes around the country.
