World Overview

The World of Neeta Lyffe, Zombie Exterminator

Welcome to the 2040s, where everyone gets an Adult Starter Allowance until they’re 25, the government builds cars, environmental and political trends change like fashion—and zombies have become the latest in dangerous household pests. At first glance, you won’t see much difference between this future and our present. No hovercars. No dystopia. People still love amusement parks, drink beer, go to church on Sundays…or not, according to their personal preferences. Groups rally to protest, fans get on forums to discuss their favorite TV shows—but check out the details:

That honking big car that just cut you off? Government Motors Entitlement

That protest at Berkeley? Stop Global Fattening! Yes, studies have shown that overpopulation has given the earth a weight problem.

That exterminator that just turned the corner? Full Hazmat suit, motorcycle helmet, and chainsaw. Apparently, there’s a zombie in the area. Let’s just move on, shall we?

Home again, and in the ‘fridge is a Bottum’s-Up Serenity, the perfect drink to counteract the adrenalin-pumping reality TV show, Zombie Death Extreme. And if that doesn’t do the trick, there’s a packet of Can-Ah-Be Calm, an over-the-counter tranquilizer made of medicinal marijuana.

What? They pre-empted ZDE so Woodland Fields could announce that he’s thinking of running for President? He’ll never make it—his record’s too clean, if you ask me. Ah, well, there’s always the Internet—and maybe they’ll get back to the show for the challenge anyway. After all, what’s more entertaining than watching amateurs take on zombies? Wonder if someone will get killed this time? My money is on Gordon!

So you see, just another day in America.
