Groundlings
In 2032, when the infamous and highly-anticipated zombie virus broke out, everyone was prepared.
Now, over fifty years later, a whole generation lives that has never stepped foot on solid ground. They were born and raised in tree cities and cliff dwellings, and the feeling of damp earth underneath their feet is foreign and unthinkable.
Until the local government of the Sequoia settlement officially sanctions an expedition. A select group of highly capable individuals are to travel on foot to what used to be known as Yellowstone National Park and establish a colony there. It's a gamble, and everyone knows it. Everyone involved is prepared to die.
Or are they?
