1. The One Where Zombie's Exist

The earthquake that ripped Hawkins in two brought so much more than destruction. It brought disease. As the gates pulled open, splitting the plane between the real world and the decayed land beneath, the poison bled out. Infecting the once-sleepy town of Hawkins, Indiana. Zombies now roam freely as the national guard put up walls. Trapping them inside.

Hawkins', as far as the rest of the world was concerned, was cursed and deserved to burn.

But what about those left behind?

And why won't the zombies stay dead?
