Zombies appeared outside our dormitory doors, and occasionally, extraterrestrial creatures would be found on the playground. Every so often, classmates would inexplicably die or disappear, while new students constantly joined us. To survive, it required not only strength, but also the will to survive and, most importantly, the iron fist of justice! ...
