[WP] When the aliens arrived in orbit, they mind controlled fully half of us. Every other man, woman, and child turned on the other half, savage and unstoppable. Pets too. Cows. Birds. Fish. Oh, and the bugs. How could we forget the bugs.

[WP] A year after Z Day and the death of 90 percent of humanity, the survivors would erect a wall. Not as a physical barrier, but a memorial for those lost to death and undeath. A large seamless block of obsidian, it would be plastered with notes, stories, and other writings from those dark days.
