From the beaches of Bondi to the bright lights of Times Square, to the throne rooms of Buckingham Palace, the favelas of Rio De Janeiro, and even the The White House - Zombies are everywhere! In Sydney, a father goes in search of his daughter with the only weapon every Aussie should have - a cricket bat signed by Donald Bradman. It smashed the Poms and it’ll smash Zombies. In Washington DC, President Obama rolls up his sleeves to get the job done and goes on the attack with ‘The Beast’ and a new presidential slogan “Yes We Can Kill Zombies”. In old London town, Princes William and Harry embark on a do-or-die battle to keep the greatest secret of the Crown safe. As they tell Princess Catherine, “She may be a Zombie, but she’s our grandmother.” In Tokyo, George Clooney starts a Zombie Infection with the food chain “I Love Eyeballs.” And from Rio De Janeiro, come face to face with the Voodoo Zombie Racer.

An excerpt from Zombie Cities; Sydney Don’t do it! Don’t go! She said she’s okay, she’ll be home any minute.
I’m not worried about her! I’m worried about you because you’re going to do something stupid, like fight these ZOMBIES!
Son where’s your cricket bat? Sorry Dad, I sold it to buy Guitar Hero!
Don’t be stupid! Get outta the way woman! I’m going to find our daughter.
No one hit them like the Don!
Be worth even more once I’m finished with it, it smashed the Poms, and now it’ll smash some zombies!
Well you could always take the Bradman Bat!
You retard! You kids should get out of the house more!
Your Dad gave that to you, it’s worth a fortune.
No not the Bradman Bat, that’s signed by the Don himself.
Look I know what you’ve been up to at night time. But this isn’t a video game! Dad, have you been playing my Rising Dead game?
Yeah its freakin’ awesome and now I’m gonna crack me some zombies for real! Now where’s that cricket helmet? You didn’t sell that did you?
I got it dad, get Shelly to film it and we’re putting it on YouTube
Dad, I’m on the last carriage. I’m hiding behind a seat and he’s right here in the carriage eating someone..
Michelle?
You all right sweety? Thanks for coming to get me Dad.
Dad! I had to, Shelly! So where’s the zombies in here??
He’s behind the first seat. There were a few of them, they’re on the other carriages.
Dad why are you carrying a cricket bat and helmet? What are you up to? Lets go!
Hello there Ugly! Don’t you stick out like a pair of dogs balls!
Don’t worry Shelly, this shouldn’t take long.
What shouldn’t take long? Oh My God, now I understand! Did you come down for me or to fight Zombies?!
Now I want you to film this on your phone. We’re gonna post this on YouTube and your Dad’s gonna make some money killing zombies!
Come on Shelly, it’s not like that. A bloke’s gotta have some chips with his burger!
All right, you F$#%@*s come-on! Give me your best shot!
This one looks like a wild bouncer
But he’s smashed it for six! That’s a classic text book hook shot!
He goes again, a brilliant straight drive up the wicket!

An excerpt from Zombie Cities Violence VS Compassion; Moscow & Outer Space Comrade, are you ready? The target is in sight.
On board the Russian satellite Zodka, a Russian cosmonaut prepares to enter the Gliese atmosphere. But this is no ordinary cosmonaut!
Now go Comrade Gorbachev, do not be afraid.
We will be connected at all times. Listen to my directions very carefully.
Do this for Mother Russia and bring us back our glory!
Target in sight Comrade Gorbachev. Proceed with extreme caution.
Comrades, we are about to make first contact!
Are you sure? he requested the private room. He is probably making love to his security guards!
Sorry Natayla, I must go, we meet again soon.
I must call President Putin. He said to call him immediately as soon we reach the target.
You would think so, but it is not his security guards he is with.
Neeeeiighh!!
Do not be afraid Comrade, this is your destiny as it was with David and Goliath. Mother Russia will be the victor!
Now Comrade, follow the plan. If he accepts our gesture he will be ours.

An excerpt from Zombie Cities; Washington
Agent Cosby, I don’t know how I could ever thank you. Sasha, I’m sorry you had to see that. It’s just politics, dirty game sometimes, you can’t trust anyone.
Was the Zombie a republican dad?
Well Mr President, you could allow Cuban cigars back into the United States?
Tough one, but you got it. I miss them as well.
I want to know how this Zombie got through our security? DID ANYONE GET hurt?
Well I got word that he killed the Secretary of Defence on the way in. They’re cleaning it up now.
How’s the average Joe supposed to defend his family? What are we supposed to do?
Well he wasn’t a democrat.
You know I’m the most powerful man on earth, leader of the Western World, but if you weren’t here, Sasha, Bo and I would be dead.
Same as what you always said Mr President, education, and Yes We Can!
And of course, the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution, the right of the people to keep and bear arms adopted on Dec 15, 1791!
Mr President, the country awaits. Barack, the country is behind you. You ready to do this?
As ready as I’ve ever been, America needs me. It’s time Michelle!
As planned the Lincoln Memorial has been safeguarded, with barbed wire for protection against the zombies, secure entrances and passages for the people. It’s all going according to plan.
Mr President, we’re leaving the Whitehouse. Now There’s going to be a few bumps along the way.
You sure they can’t get inside Agent Cosby? How much power we got with ‘the Beast’?
We’re as secure as a bank vault inside here Mr President. And don’t worry about power.
We’ve gained a few percentage points in the polls already. The word is the people want action, but can’t define what action is.
Looks like the people have spoken, they want a show of force.
Agent Cosby, did the White House techs make all the changes to ’The Beast’ as we discussed?
Well Agent Cosby, its time to unleash ’The Beast’!
Mr President they did indeed, in fact they’ve been bragging about it all morning.
The engine is now in the back, the front bonnet interior fitted out as specified.

An excerpt from Zombie Cities Violence VS Compassion; Chicago
But the question is, is Leroy a ZOMBIE? He was attacked in Miami and has been in hospital for a week.
Breaking news! This just in. Leroy Johnzon is in the house! He’s just been released from hospital and it looks like he will take the 4th quarter!
Leroy, you a zombie after what happened in Miami? Just one pic man, come on Leroy! Lose the hood!
How you gonna take on Kovacs?
What happened Leroy? Are you infected?
Let me talk on behalf of my son Leroy. Yes he is infected but he’s all right for the time being. Chicago Hospital has released him to play this final quarter and then he goes back in. This may be his last match but he is here to play and win this game for Chicago!
LJ will play, how you feel about that? What if he is a zombie?
Chicago Loves Leroy - zombie or not - we’re here for him! I love you Leroy!
Leroy has done so much for the community. I don’t care what he is. Just bring him back to kick Kovac’s ass!
Fellas, Leroy’s momma is here and she wants to say something before Leroy comes out.
You guys haven’t seen Leroy in a week, well no one has but me.
Now before I bring Leroy back, I want you you guys to remember your best moments with him. Think back to those times, remember him in that way, because I don’t know how to say this but Leroy looks a bit different now.
I don’t care what the hell he is. I just wanna know he’s okay.
Momma Johnson I grew with up Leroy, ain’t nuthin’ gonna stop me being on his side.
So fellas be cool. Just don’t freak out.
Now y’all know Leroy got bit, and whatever he’s got it’s not contagious.
He is and always will the be the same brother you guys know him as, and he is my son. Now I don’t know what’s happened but it’s also like he can feel and read your thoughts. He was dead for a day then he came back and maybe he went somewhere inbetween.
Nah we be cool! It’s all right Leroy come on out Man!
And here is Leroy Johnson, sport fans don’t leave your seats, this will be a fight to the finish!
Now I think that has to be called a foul.
But wow that is the slam dunk of the year! Leroy has still got the goods!
