A former mining town, Middletown has grown leaps and bounds since then, but many spirits haunt the city as the lands had once been occupied by a Native population who had come into conflict with the mining operations. Eventually peace had come and the region was split between the two groups. Many descendants of that original Native population still exist in the mountains. All in all the city sees little change as businesses come and go: locals often resisting change.

After a big storm hits the city: the river floods, causing it to shut down the bridge out of the city and closing down as emergency services struggle to reach those in need.

Overnight the city streets are flooded. Searching for a friend, Jon comes across violent rioters. Spirits haunt the isolated city, sometimes helping, sometimes not. These zombie are not the mindless corpses of popular media.

Applewood was a well known community outside of Middletown. It was little over thirty miles outside of the county. In mid July apple season brought tourists and locals far and wide to sample the local apple butter and participate in the Apple Festival. Come winter, when all the tourists head home: hunting season for locals begins. Natives and locals alike prepare for this time of year as the hunted meat gets stored for the remainder of winter lasting some families up until early summer. 


Gregory was waiting at a rest stop a few miles out from the town proper. The rest stop was an old gas station called Sunside. It doubled as a convenience store and was a popular hangout for teens on either side of the county. It was a simple station with two pumps and one portable toilet that was locked up with a heavy, rusted chain tied to the building. It was occasionally taken off to be cleaned, but during the winter the stall was a hazard to the common man.
