It is some nintey days since the World was gripped by an outbreak of zombies; but in Britain they seem to have got the problem solved. In the early days there was an awful lot of decapitation going on; but now the Government has introduced a wonderful drug therapy and treatment programme that has worked so well that the zombies are about to be re-introduced into Society.
But you can't call them zombies anymore; they are Transient Incognizant Mortality Sufferers; and you should not call them Tim's either; on both matters the Government has spoken.
The cost of the drug treatment is staggeringly high; and faced with paying back a huge debt that the NHS should not have to shoulder, each and every Tim the length and breadth of the country are put to work in the newly re-opened British collieries; which was probably why the Government embarked on an ambitious coal-fired power station building scheme a while back so that the UK would not be at the mercy any more of the French energy suppliers and the Russian coal oligarchs.
But in West Wales something goes horribly wrong. A cave in at the old Garden Pit Mine in Landshipping means that the miner Tim's overshoot their drugs threshold and they revert back to their former zombie selves.........just very much more eloquent and focused on their ultimate goal; to have their old lives back. And when they dig themselves out things start to get very messy.
