At any time you can sell your body into civil service for a nice sum of money. The city zombies roam the city doing repairs, mending streets, cleaning the gutters, etc. The city also rents them out.These are just empty shells, stupid beasts that have been trained to do manual labor. Every once in a while you get an intelligent ones, which man the libraries and civil offices as low-level bureaucrats.A lot of people do this; it's an easy way to make quick cash. Low risk, in general, since it's just your dead body. It's thought of as a bit shameful, but no heresy. One's main worry is the state your body is in when you die, because if it's in such a state that it's of no use to the city (even for body parts), they will collect your soul.</blockquote>
