Zombies are scary. We don't really need to say more, but we will. There are myriad things to be afraid of in the zombie-filled world. (For example, grammar. Is it "myriad things" or "a myriad of things"?) You don't want to be bitten by a zombie. You don't want your friends and relatives to be bitten by zombies. You don't want to run out of food. Or ammo. Or toilet paper. And fear does weird things to people. It makes them suspicious, jumpy, and nasty. In a zombie-infested world, you have to live your entire life in fear, 24/7. Kind of like working for Anna Wintour.
