Day 1,302

Once the government got the hang of bringing back the dead, they were put to work and the living were 'retired'. Soon enough their jobless descent into poverty brought about fresh workers and the remaining living were left to themselves. It was hoped that they'd end up like the rest of the new workers.

Costs were at an all time low, food shortages became history and the rich congratulated themselves on solving so many global issues. With arrays of sensors attached the new workers were sent to every extremity that the living couldn't stand. They mapped out the oceanic depths, spent years studying the melting icecaps and finally they were sent out into the great void of space.

Unbeknownst to them all, the dead began to remember.
