Zombies: After the Rapture

Ever since Z-Day happened after the Rapture, those left behind - struggled with the new world order. At first, rampant panic occurred, fueled by the new Hollywood zombie movies where they are portrayed extremely fast and strong. Others clung tight to the black and white image of a slow stumbling corpse with pieces of themselves falling off as they stagger.

Although the raging zombies still wanted to tear apart alive any human they encountered, only the newly dead corpses were fully physically functional and possessed no more strength and endurance then when they were once human. By lobotomizing the zombies, the no longer present killing instincts enabled zombies to work in dull repetitive jobs that would be otherwise mind-numbing for living humans with souls.

Because zombies have no basic human rights, the newly enslaved workforce was a big part of the economic recovery of the United States. A new border control policy to infect any illegal alien that came into the United States which effectively shut down 90% of all illegal border crossings - except for the Mexican drug Cartels who used zombie runners to bring in 100 pound bales of marijuana into the USA. But these athletic zombies still had to be accompanied by a human guide or they would just walk around aimlessly in the desert under the blazing sun until the corpses desiccated into a 'beef jerky' condition.

Amid worries about migrant zombie workers infecting the fields of produce, a all-in-one cat suit was developed that could be sprayed onto the zombie's body so that leaking fluids would not contaminate food products. Goggles are placed over the eyes before spraying. The covered mouth solved both the biting and wailing of "braaaaains" annoyances so well that some zombies worked as house cleaners.

It took some time but the first days of chaos after the rapture brought unseen benefits to those left behind. The 50% reduction of humans with souls created higher wages for skilled professionals while the zombies slaved in drudgery. This brought the biggest boom in manufacturing back into the United States with a quiet non-unionized slave force that needs no health insurance.
