Zombies have no memories of their former life. You won't see the undead trying to wash windows or do your taxes. All they know how to do is swarm and feed.

As the group of survivors continued to grow, their supplies began to dwindle. They needed to find more food, water, and medical supplies if they were going to survive.
Violet, along with Sarah, Tom, Kelly, and Max, set out on a supply run. They had to be careful, as the streets were filled with zombies.
They searched through abandoned stores and homes, looking for anything they could use. It was a dangerous task, but they knew they had to do it.
As they were searching an abandoned grocery store, Violet heard a faint sound coming from the back. She cautiously approached the noise, and to her surprise, she found a small puppy.
The puppy was dirty and malnourished, but it was alive. Violet knew that they couldn't afford to take care of a pet, but she couldn't leave the puppy behind. She scooped it up and brought it back to the group.
The others were hesitant at first, but they quickly fell in love with the puppy. They named him Lucky, as they felt lucky to have found him.
With their new companion in tow, the group continued their search for supplies. They found some canned food, bottled water, and a first aid kit, which they added to their growing collection.
As they were leaving an abandoned house, they heard a loud noise coming from the street. They looked out the window and saw a group of zombies heading their way.
The group quickly made their way to the back of the house, hoping to find another way out. As they were searching, they found a hidden room filled with supplies. It was a jackpot, and they quickly gathered as much as they could carry.
As they were leaving the house, they were ambushed by the zombies. They fought them off, but not without taking some casualties. One of the members of the group was bitten, and they knew they had to act fast.
They rushed back to the safe house, hoping to find some medical supplies. They managed to find some antibiotics, which they gave to the bitten member. They knew it was a long shot, but they hoped that it would be enough to save him.
The group was shaken by the attack, but they were grateful for the supplies they had found. They knew that they had to be more careful in the future, but they also knew that they couldn't survive without taking risks.
Violet felt a sense of responsibility for the group. She knew that they were all counting on her to lead them through this horror, and she was determined to do whatever it takes to keep them alive.
