A house. Ruined and haunted by heinous acts. To enter is to have fear and anxiety for the rest of your days, if you’re able to leave.

honestly i think that if there was an actual zombie plague it would be much harder to convince people not to risk infection by going near them in an attempt to "help" or "communicate" than you'd expect. like people would for sure be wary, but a lot of people are also compelled to help someone who seems injured or vulnerable. the cognitive dissonance of separating living human beings from the hungry dead would be harder when they're not actively behaving aggressively. there would definitely be more than a few cases where people got too close out of a misguided attempt at compassion or saviourism and were mauled, not unlike those who misunderstand or deliberately ignore the warning signs displayed by wild animals. people wouldn't be able to resist reaching out to loved ones in the hope that they might be different, not beyond saving. zombies might even learn to prey on those impulses. or the infected, losing control and drowning in fear, battling new, abhorrent instincts threatening to overwhelm them, might lash out, and spend their final moments of lucidity knowing they've condemned the very people they least wanted to hurt to the same terrible fate.

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!
