Inspired by 'Oblivion' movie.

this is my first time using reddit and i didn't know where to post this, but i wanted to ask a community what they'd like to see in a zombie story. i wanted to know what to consider while writing it(like do people want realism of the zombies decay and be dead in a couple weeks?). are people fine if the story later forgets about the zombies? what style would people like it drawn: comic or anime? any bases i should cover when i create my zombies?

The date was March 13th, 2019; the CDC and the US government instituted a health advisory for all citizens to take precautions against the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Schools and workplaces confined people to their homes and required them to wear masks to avoid catching the virus. Researchers and scientists have been trying to find a vaccine for this sudden pandemic, but it has resulted in the virus's mutation, any who becomes infected by this new strain not only experiences the symptoms of the virus before the mutation but also an elevated heart rate, brain hemorrhaging, fever, and nutrient deficiency.

After many people caught this new strain of COVID-19, a notable sign of infection was darkened fingernails. Worry and disbelief lingered in the populace as not only would this new strain of the virus be found in the US but also in China, Africa, and Russia. People believed it was all a conspiracy, but more and more people got infected and eventually died. Then the virus was modified by scientists who sought to use it as a way to create a biological weapon; however, it was let loose by one of the scientists who became infected through a hole in their hazmat suit.

Several people were infected by the virus and died, but not only did they die; they arose. The first instance of this was during a protest made up of conspiracy theorists and concerned citizens. They were protesting against the use of animal testing for medicine and cosmetics. As they protested, they didn't know that one of them was infected and showed symptoms of infection; they coughed up blood and screamed in pain as their brain was hemorrhaging. They died surrounded by onlookers and protesters; someone among the crowd tried to help the infected man, and the helper was bitten by them. Many people who witnessed this either through the media or in person recalled what they saw and called them zombies; of course, they weren't the rotting corpses that were seen throughout zombie media, so instead those at the 1st stage were called "Infected"

Christmas is only a few days away, and people would normally be buying their children gifts and sweet treats, but nowadays, having such peaceful days is a luxury no one can afford. Several infected overran several cities and regions across the world; many even tried to venture into the wilderness, but they encountered many creatures that inhabited it. And winter has not helped the survival of the remaining uninfected.

After many months of the infection, survivors have not only begun to get used to survival in their situation but also adapted to new environments. While living in the wilderness, they have encountered creatures told across countless myths & legends: the Wendigo, the Grafton Monster, Mothman, etc. So now not only do survivors have to deal with the infected but also Cryptids

*I thought ykw else is great other than zombies but also cryptids that linger in the wilderness making it so that no where is safe
