It was once said: “This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.” and these words rang true. When the world ended no one saw it coming, saw [i]them[/i] coming. They didn't just appear in mass in every major city like they did in the movies, didn't broadcast their arrival to the world. It started small, insignificant just a couple of sick people, a couple of missing persons reports, and violent attacks chalked up to insanity or drugs. By the time anyone knew what was going on, what [i]they[/i] were, it was already too late to stop them: Zombies, The Living Dead. As a matter of fact by the time they caused everything to collapse the government barely even had time to pull together a response and the dead spread across the country like a wildfire, devouring everything that stood in their way. Within only two weeks The United States had fallen to the dead. To make matters worse all contact with the rest of the world has been lost. No one whether the infection has been contained solely to North America or if it has overtaken the world yet.

To the survivors that now live amongst the undead, their only one hope is also a possible pipe dream. Gargled radio broadcast tell of a place that has been secured as a save haven by the Army. A place the dead can't reach even if they tried: Alcatraz Island. The world's most famous inescapable prison may be mankind's last hope. Still no one knows if it still stands or if it really exist at all given that it's repeated radio broadcast is all anyone has to go on. Is it worth the risk to seek it out? 

In the city of Blackwall, Colorado a group of survivors ask that very question. A group of former students and children  have taken residence in their high school, St. Walkers. The group must deal with the fallout of the end of their world, zombies, dangerous human beings and the decision on whether or not to make the trip to Alcatraz all the more complicated by the problems age.

[hider=Additional Info]
[list]
[*] Zombies are slightly faster than you typical Romero variant though otherwise the same.
[*] It's been a month and a half since the first infection.
[*] Currently just starting Fall
[*] Zombies are more aggressive when it rains. No one knows exactly why but it's generally assumed it's because of all the noise rainfall and thunder makes.
[*] St. Walkers isn't actually fully clear of zombies. When it was first being taken they managed to clear as many as they could given their ammo but managed to section off the remaining dead in certain hallways behind storm doors and locked with chains and locks. These hallways are generally to be avoided so they are not damaged. The hallways in question are one on the second floor and two on the fourth floor.
[*] St. Walkers perimeter is surrounded by a security fence that was meant to keep truant students in but now keeps the dead out.
