Inspiration (Words From The Author)
'''This section is subject to change as the story progresses to avoid spoilers. '''

I have three major inspirations that got me to think about this project and then to write it. These are the three:

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare - As you can guess, I'm a huge fan for the horror genre. I particularly love slasher films, suspense and survival (zombies are mainly in survival horror). I pretty much played Undead Nightmare before I played the main game, but I fell in love with it right away. The eerie atmosphere, the chilling music, and of course all the different varieties of zombies. One day back in 2013, I was playing this game and this thought came up in my mind: "What if the characters of Bully had to deal with the same situation that the characters of Red Dead Redemption had to deal with? What if zombies started to invade Bullworth? What would happen? Who would survive? Who would still remain sane?" After a while of thinking, I kinda put some things together and thus, The Undead Story was born. I guess you could say my story is a spiritual successor to Undead Nightmare. After all, both Red Dead and Bully are in the same universe as well as Grand Theft Auto and Manhunt.

The Walking Dead - Truth be told, I never read the graphic novels and I only started midway of Season 2 (I caught up eventually), but this series is truly one of the best when it comes to portraying the survivors during a zombie apocalypse. I love how it focuses on the characters rather than the blood and gore. In fact, I believe that's pretty much the only reason why the series is so popular to this day. When I was thinking about writing The Undead Story, I knew for a fact that I really had to focus on the characters rather than the blood and gore (not that I'm allow to write and describe a lot of gore in my chapters just to maintain the T-rated appeal like the game, and for good reason too). I mean, who wants to read about a lot of blood being spilled. The readers want to know about the characters. They want to know what happens to them next and how they feel and all that. Maybe also to connect with them on a emotional level, but I'm not that good of a writer. I'll be surprised though if I was that good.

The Lord Of The Flies - This does not have anything to do with zombies, but it still influenced my story in a way. I remember watching the movie years ago and it was a very good movie. The idea of kids making their own society and fending for themselves was interesting. In The Undead Story, I wrote the story to where all the adults in the town have either escaped or died and turned into zombies. Without the adults around, I made the students of the academy the only survivors and that most of the cliques have left the school and made their own settlements to fend for themselves. Plus in my story, Jimmy Hopkins is hoping to get all the cliques on board for clearing the school and making it a safe haven. Will they make a society out of it? Probably. Will they succeed? Maybe. You'll have to see.
