What we want:
Interesting stories about science gone bad that results in the undead. It could be a strange lab experiment gone awry or an industrial or technological accident at a facility of some kind. It could be a malfunction on an alien ship or simply some strange chemical concoction in a nerd’s basement. Whatever you want.
