[ WP ] Zombies are a part of modern society . Large corporations harvest corpses , turn them , and use them as laborious workhorses that do not require wage , or compensation .

The worst part might be the stench. I mean, can you imagine it? Huge rooms filled to the brim with the undead, working through the days and the nights in the heat and humidity. It probably makes them rot a bit faster. It's putrid. But, the companies do it because it's cheap. If anything it's ethical slave labor. After all, the dead do n't need unions, they do n't need to be paid. You just put meat in front of them and they go for it until they fall to pieces. That's where I come in. 
 
 I work for an automotive company. I ca n't say which, because I like having an income, but it's one of the bigger ones. My job is to replace the dead when they cease to function. 
 
 Here, let me explain. As you probably already know, the living dead ca n't actually do most things. They pretty much just walk and eat until they fall apart. Now the cars themselves are manufactured by robots, like they have for years before the dead were able to be brought back. These robots are good at this. They're consistent in quality, they do n't tire, they also do n't need pay. 
 
 However, the power is where the undead workers come in. Underneath the factory floor there are huge rooms. We line up the floors of these rooms with huge conveyer belts that we strap each of the undead into. These conveyor belts are designed so that each step that is taken on them generates a little bit of power. Multiply that by thousands and thousands of undead and you've got enough to run a factory completely independent of traditional power companies. 
 
 We place raw meat in front of the undead and have them walk towards it until they fall apart in their straps in a sticky, gooey mess. That's where I come in. I'm part of a team of people who go around the floors of the undead, and when one has fallen apart we dispose of the pieces, mop up the conveyer belt and then strap a new one in its place. 
 
 The pay is decent I guess. It's a living. Heh, that was n't intentional. 
 
 The thing is, I'm not going to be the one to go against it. Between the robots taking up skilled labor and the undead doing grunt work, I'm lucky to even have a job. Most people are unemployed these days, so If I got ta deal with a nasty smelling room all day I sure as hell will.
