Perhaps the zombie uprising came and went and it really wasn’t what you thought it would be.
Yes, initially it was terrifying. You lost a loved one(s), co-workers, people you hated, maybe even a limb or two… but once the sprays of blood ceased and the dust settled; zombies and the living got to the point where they just stood staring at each other asking the all important question “What now?”
Zombies apologized for the eating of the human flesh although at the time they didn’t know better. The living also explained that blowing off the heads of the undead just seemed like a natural step in self preservation and survival. No offense ya know?
Fast forward ten years after hammering out the polite society details and Zombies found their niche in the world by creating new programming for Fox. Feeding wasn’t much of an issue because they acquired a taste for rodents- therefore we additonally managed to keep our rat population down by keeping them on a healthy diet of GOP’s.
Although occuping space side by side became common place, there is a new discomfort of not knowing what to do with your zombie family member, spouse, co-worker, friend or neighbor.
You want to offer them the olive branch by taking them out or buying them a gift; where do you take them? What do you buy them? What *does* a zombie like to do on their off time or receive in a pretty box? Brains are a very uncomfortable topic that you should probably avoid for another generation or two.
This weekend I’ll come up with advice on what to do when the unexpected happens and now you have to be polite.
