A vast and infectious disease sweeped over the world. Many died, others were turned into monsters. Zombies? Exactly. It was the start of the apocalypse. Nations fell. The entire human population was quickly deminishing. It was madness. Complete chaos.
While many didn't survie there was a small town that formed out of the ruins of the world. It was created by a small group of military soliders who managed to survive the ordeal together. The place was not perfect, but it was a start.
People struggled to simply survive over the years but these soliders created the exact thing they were looking for, a sanctuary, shelter.
The Refuge, as it is known as, has developed into a major place of safety due to the large, and always increasing, group of people. After the span of ten years after the start of this apocalypse, it has become one of, if not the, safest place in the world at this point. A tall, 10 foot stone wall surrounds the entire town. That in it's self took them the majority of those five years to even build. the gates are small iron ones, like you might find on a mansion of sorts.
Going inside the wall, it is like a regular town. They have a flea market were goods are traded off. Food for clothing. Meat for bread and so on. Education for children is limited but availble nonetheless. Life is as normal as it can get.
Going outside the wall is a little risky though. Right outside the walls is where most people farm and care for animals. An electric fence is used to keep out zombies but at the same time it often leads to the death of animals should they get shocked by it. Guards are often stationed outside in old housing to keep an eye out for any threats, alive or dead.
There are still issues. The risk of zombies attacking is minimal. The true threat comes from mankind it's self. This incude people both in and outside the wall. Some want what they have. And those that are already inside the wall may be looking for power.
It's hard to adjust to the normal world when one is used to the cruelness of the outside world.

So there's my idea. It's basically people trying to come out of this apocalypse setting and into something they have long forgotten after the ten years of struggling to survive. The conflict will mainly focus around distrust in certain people and attempts at raids by other groups and so on.
There will also be a whole structure within this developing city on how things work along with different jobs that I plan to post. I'm looking for some opinions on how this should work so I won't be posting it until a few people are interested. :) Thanks!
