How society crumbled
Dead people rose from the grave, but their numbers aren't enough to kill the majority of the population. How did that happen in your story? Here is a list of possible scenarios.

People running amok. This means: Corrupted government:
 * 1) Many will leave their cities and become zombie food in the road.
 * 2) Also people may start stealing and maybe fights break out resulting in deaths.
 * 3) No one works anymore and production stops. Then when they run out of resources, many will turn against each other leading to many deaths.
 * 4) Police and the army keep a place in lockdown. Then people rise up and fights break out between civilians and the army, leading many to kill and turn, eventually overwhelming the army as well.
 * 1) High-ranking military seize the opportunity of the apocalypse to overthrow the government in an area, leading to massive battles and many dead soldiers, who become zombies of course.
 * 2) The government collects all supplies "for the good of everyone", while in truth they want to protect themselves. This leads also in fights between police and civilians.
 * 3) People try to find shelter outside the big cities but many die by zombies in the wilderness.
 * 4) Cities aren't safe either, since zombies get inside houses in the first days.

Character name suggestions
Post names here. Please post interesting names, we can also think of naming a character John or George. On the left write the name and on the right how many times it has been used in one of your stories. If you use another name from the list, increase the value on the right by one. Avoid using uncommon names too many times. It would be unrealistic if dead world has 40 women named Latanya and two named Mary.
