   Putnam being the PhD who realized that the zombie plague was   
   inescapable, and organized a small group of contagion free and hardy   
   survivors to move into orbit. After many years of strife to get the   
   orbital arcology in working order, and the sociology of the disparate   
   population functioning peacefully, he finally had time to look down, and   
   realized that his home was inhabited by zombies, who puttered by habit   
   through something like normal domesticity, completely ignoring the   
   Petunias blooming in riot, having outgrown the beds his wife had planted   
   those years before. Quite poignant, in a zombie laden, heavy handed way.
