Why do we fail to deport those whom we should deport? It's due in the end, says Dr David McGrogan, to an excess of pity. We are pitying ourselves into disorder and social decay. We need to be willing not to be nice.

So Long 'Fingers'. Zombie (no go go, unless you tell am to go) Banker Blues.

category national | arts and media | feature author Wednesday April 29, 2009 22:49author by ec Report this post to the editors

'Lucky Guy! Dead And Still Drawing His Very Own Pension' sez Wag. 'In my imagination - there is no complication . . .'

Scientists, troops and auditors arrive from abroad to investigate the total collapse of a small Republic. They're looking for 'Fingers'. His actions had hastened the spiral of the country into a bottomless liquidity trap. They want to interrogate him. Meanwhile an anonymous auditor, hiding out in one of the few sanctuaries which remain, spills the beans on the inhuman practices which led to the collapse. He also fills in the backstory of Brian 'Brains' Ahern.

This is the second part of what will eventually be a trilogy of zombie shorts. The first part of the trilogy was titled 'Houses on the Moon' and is available at this page: http://vimeo.com/3269259

Please help to spread these around. Pimping them around daz netz is the hard part.
