    Hah, fair enough. I thought it was just a joke about the “Ohio is terrible” memes, but that works too.

    Easiest answer: Someone deployed a bioweapon. Maybe a “rabid runner zombie”-style bioweapon, or something that induces psychopathy. They’re not a critical threat, as long as the wall is watched. But with civilization kind of broken down, nobody wants to risk a real outbreak.

      It totally is riffing on the Ohio is terrible meme.

      A bioweapon or zombie plague is a natural idea but I want something more esoteric. Something very cryptid and even when explained, still mysterious. I like the idea of having dark rabbit holes in worlds.
