“Post-mortem living humans have rights too!”The unfortunate consequence of an incredible scientific breakthrough, evolved zombies have fewer emotions and greater primal urges than average humans. They can still speak and reason, learn and recognize, plan and co-ordinate. They have a sharp sense of humor, without the social filter that people are generally conditioned to put in place. They can become aggressive when hungry and violent when aroused or scared. Many evolved zombies are affected in somewhat unique ways. Some of them were closer in behavior to “traditional” zombies than most people suspected or hoped.Evolved zombies now live and work with normal humans, and have introduced new socio-economic classes for society to deal with – with behaviors far from norm. Polite society isn’t adequately prepared.My name is Rob Stack, and I work with the Infected Affairs Bureau of the Seattle Police – known to cops as the IAB and most citizens as “Zombie Relations”.
I have only ever come across the concept of different levels in an online comic before and the explanation of how things happened and the impact on society was deliciously different.
I hope there is a sequel or perhaps a totally different story in the same world ... it seems this world is so fully conceived that it would be a pity to waste all that time spent bringing it to life.
A different way of looking at zombies and their integration into society. I'm not a big fan of first person view points, but found this one a good read. Something I would read again.
