Leaden Civilians, Georges-Olivier Châteaureynaud

Far from soaring through the air, getting caught in trees, or drifting across ceilings, the resurrected exert an incomprehensible weight on the rediscovered earth. Don't expect them to walk quickly or for long. Almost statues. Nearly turtles. Frugal with gestures and words. Once settled, they are completely at rest. A goldfish causes more fuss. They don't disturb or dirty anything, and hardly incur any costs, at least for maintenance, because resurrection itself has a price.
