Revelation 20:13 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."
And when there is no more room left in hell, the dead will walk the earth - as made famous by Dawn of the Dead
The idea had been around for a long time - zombies - the dead walking the earth, consuming the flesh of the living. It used to be joked about. The idea was modernized; it was used to make a profit - horror films exploiting the grotesque nature of the walking dead. People in theaters would scream and then laugh, watch in entertainment as they saw an actor cry out in false pain as 'zombies' gnawed at his limbs; the slow turning of a well-loved character. It was Hollywood. Of course, the religious warning was never taken seriously. They took the idea of hell becoming over-populated and turned it into an idea of a virus. It's a virus that infects the people of the world - a virus that kills them, yet keeps them alive only through the consumption of flesh.
When it actually happened, people turned to doctors, barraging them for answers, for a cure or at least a vaccine to prevent infection. The doctors were just as helpless as the people. To think that something like this would actually happen.
There were surprises. It goes to show that one should never base their knowledge on fiction. The awakening of the dead happened roughly two years ago. The decline of the human race has been steady and constant, but there are safe havens and resistances.
It is not as easy as shooting the zombies in the head. It is not as cut and dry. If you are bitten or scratched, you aren't necessarily turned, but then again, it depends on who bit you.
