Zombie Horror Start

It was a bright and sunny day. An eerie calm had descended upon the destroyed city, contrasting the normal busy atmosphere. Amid the wreckage of what we once called New York, there were corpses. Several thousand, in fact, filling the air with the foul stench of rotting flesh. I leaned closer over one of the lifeless bodies but reeled in shock when I saw movement. The entire city’s corpses were coming alive, I realized, and I had a sudden, ominous feeling I was about to join them.

Poem Start.

A battle raged between the two,
Swords clashed and armor broke.
The soldiers cried out in woe,
For they had never seen such an epic foe.

( I would like a name for the things the soldiers were fighting. I pulled up ” Zoolag ” as my own choice, but it doesn’t seem right )
