First, the brown, churning water - the circle
of our river around us; inside that, the quilt squares
of our fields, which were turned dirt, newly planted seeds, the bright green carpet
of a field just beginning to come to life, fences mended or falling down into the soft new grass, humped haystacks, our cattle herd, our sheep herd, our goats, bare birch trees pointing straight into the heavens; and in the
center, in the heart, our cobbled and dirt streets, our red - tiled and gray - shingled roofs radiating out from the
town square with its statue
of a long -
dead war hero in the middle.
Dead Rising's story
centers on Frank West, a photojournalist who ends up trapped in a shopping mall in the fictional
town of Willamette, Colorado, that is infested with zombies.
