History
Francis West was a well-known freelance photographer with a flare for getting serious scoops. However, his career would suddenly change forever when he decided to cover a zombie outbreak at the Willamette Mall in Colorado. He soon found himself trapped in said mall, forcing him to use his quick wits and stubbornness to survive. After 72 insane hours in a shop filled with walking corpses and insane mallgoers out for blood, Frank's story helped him rise to fame... only for him to lose it all and resort to being a college professor. On the bright side, he would return to the zombie-slaying business and make a near-professional living from the job, even recovering from becoming a zombie himself.
