New World Zombies, Part 2

Yesterday I posted about a recent contest held by The Zombie Feed. The contest posed this question:

"Fast or slow, flesh eaters or those who only eat brains, zombies are always pretty fun. Let's look at them when they aren't massing and trapping the last bastions of humanity and reducing them to red smears.

What do zombies do when there isn't prey to motivate them? Say 'World War Z' level of infestation goes ahead and wipes out humanity, do zombies establish a society? Do they take jobs? Set up daycares? Worry about 401Ks and health insurance? Or do they just sort of sit around and rot away?"

Each author in The Zombie Feed, Vol. 1 anthology answered. The first eight answers were posted yesterday, and the rest were posted today. You can read those, including my answer, by clicking here.

New World Zombies, Part 1

To create a little buzz around the upcoming anthology The Zombie Feed, Vol. 1, the publisher held a contest, the winner of which would receive a free copy of the anthology.

To participate, you simply had to ask a question "that you’ve always been burning to ask zombie writers." The most interesting question was then presented to the authors of the anthology to answer.

The question posed was:

"Fast or slow, flesh eaters or those who only eat brains, zombies are always pretty fun. Let's look at them when they aren't massing and trapping the last bastions of humanity and reducing them to red smears.

What do zombies do when there isn't prey to motivate them? Say 'World War Z' level of infestation goes ahead and wipes out humanity, do zombies establish a society? Do they take jobs? Set up daycares? Worry about 401Ks and health insurance? Or do they just sort of sit around and rot away?"

My answer will be in Part 2, but you can read the first batch of answers here.

Enjoy!
