Fall of a currency

[VOICE NARRATOR]: Soon after the release of the movie “The Weed Police” the public became aware of the insane policy of governments and central banks worldwide.
The evil low interest policy of central banks led to a perpetual war in the Middle East. Wars tend to drive on petrol. Central banks tend to control petro-dollars. If something changes in the oil market, it will affect different currencies in different countries, because of the peg.

A downfall of petro-dollars immediately affects the wealth of the involved countries.
Central banks try to secure the petro-dollar during wars through inflation. But generally that fails. In 2018 the petro-dollar fell once again due to the war in the Middle-East. Politicians turned on each other and people witnessed scandal after scandal. This led to a lack of food, affordable housing, and diseases. One of the diseases had zombie-like features.

The zombies would still walk around hoping to find some fresh meat to devour. The disease ate the human beings from the inside, leaving the person with no flesh at all. They called it the flesh-eating disease.
The disease was first detected in dead bodies in the Middle East. Later on it would rise in Europe. Due to the downfall of the currency, financially poor people would tend to eat more meat than financially rich people.
Low quality meat due from industrialized chickens, cows and pigs was often less expensive than biological vegetables.

Through contaminated water the cattle would get infected and lose chunks of meat. Chickens would run around without their heads. Cows would lose their skin and pigs would lose their paws.
Due to lousy regulation and a profit-over-people mentality, a gross amount of the population got infected because of the unwillingness to separate the contaminated meat with healthy. They thought that the extra antibiotics would do the trick and got more then they bargained for.

Nevertheless this virus caused mayhem's in the streets. The panic triggered a fall in an already weakened currency.
In the mayhem in the streets two men have stopped for a strange conversation.

RUNNING MAN: Hey man, Why are you stopping and why is everybody running?

[SECOND RUNNING MAN]: Don't you know? So why were you running then?

RUNNING MAN Oh just, because I found everybody around me running so the herd-instinct in me says. Better follow, don't go astray from the herd. So I did. But why all the mayhem?

[SECOND RUNNING MAN]: The stock markets have crashed and the dollar has no intrinsic value anymore.

RUNNING MAN: Is that all? But it never did have any intrinsic value since we got of the gold standard. We were all just faking it, weren't we?

[SECOND RUNNING MAN]: I guess some people weren't.

RUNNING MAN: But hey wait a minute. Why did you stop?

[SECOND RUNNING MAN]: I stopped because I didn't not know where to go anymore in this mess. Better than go to the middle and stop.

[SECOND RUNNING MAN]: Before I go I need to tell you one time, I think I forget the mention. There is an outbreak of some kind of disease which makes men desire flesh. In outer words: Look out for zombies.

RUNNING MAN: Zombies? Is that why everybody is running? That makes kind of sense but then again it is terrible cliche. You know zombies don't really exist. It was a movie, remember. Well a bunch of movies.

RUNNING MAN: Well forget about it then. But then don't say I didn't warn ya. Peace out bro.

[SECOND RUNNING MAN]: Wait, wait. Do you have some weed?

RUNNING MAN: Go figure, well why not? It's the least I can do. Two ready to light. Here take my lighter also, I can't smoke now.

[VOICE NARRATOR]: Suddenly a herd of zombies storm towards the duo. Running man one sees the zombies, say bye bye and starts running while running man two, to eager to take notice, immediately lights the first joint, quickly takes a lot of tokes and produces a immense of hemp-smoke. The smoke covers the surroundings. Suddenly out of the smoke three zombies appear and run towards running man(1). The zombies seem to be totally ignoring running man (2).

After a couple of seconds running man (2) notices the zombies and says:

[SECOND RUNNING MAN]: Now I know what you are saying. Zombie-weed. You have been smoking to much of this zombie-weed.

[VOICE NARRATOR]: He then looks around and sees zombies everywhere and most of them were hostile towards humans. However he thinks it's all the weed that made him see those things. Quite the perspective. In oblivion and with a stench of weed he marches through the city to look for shelter en sense.
