Ideas for a Short Story?

Anyone want to share an idea for a short story? One of the things I think would be interesting is something to do with Zombies! However, it can't be your run-of-the-mill Zombie story. I'm thinking more along the lines of Zombies that live in the sewers or something and are oppressed by the Humans who live in the streets above. I sorta got the idea while watching a "Demolotion Man" which mainly takes place in a future city which has been dominated by a "Clean" society. The outcasts, who still practice the customs of the old days like gasoline cars, eating meat, smoking, etc, live in the sewers. Unfortunately, they don't have a very good food supply and are forced to surface occasionally and steal from Taco Bell (The only remaining restaurant).

The people who live in the sewers are desperate to migrate back up to the surface but they are considered filthy and unwanted by the Clean Society. Part of the movie deals with their attempts to take over the surface and live amoungst the others.

My idea for a short story would be something like the movie but with Zombies. Obviously, it's not going to be exactly like the movie but it will have some similarities. For now though, it's just an idea I have and is still lacking proper planning.

Thoughts?
Ideas?
