Willamette Incident

The Willamette Incident was a series of events that took place in Willamette, Colorado from Sept. 19-Sept.22. Though the United States government tried to cover up the story as a simple riot, there was a very different happening indeed: zombies! The zombies arose when Calito Keyes unleashed the Ampulex Compressa Giganteus species on the town in revenge for a similar outbreak in the Central American town of Santa Cabeza caused by the US government. Though the Special Forces killed nearly everyone in the town, zombies and survivors alike,, photojournalist Frank West managed to escape and spread the story of the outbreaks in both Santa Cabeza and Willamette. Though the US government excepted responsibility for Santa Cabeza, they blamed the Willamette Incident on terrorists (which, in a sense, was true). Though the world reeled from the shock of actual zombies, they soon let the incident fade from their minds.
