Then the dead attacked and people couldn't wait to get south of the Wall. And the way it all started was excellent. Dogs barking. Rustles in the wind. Something happening on the ground that you couldn't see. Screams. Dust kicking up off the ground. People running for shelter. It all built up so damn well.
