This Godly Endeavour
While on your wanderings in the apocalyptic world of tomorrow you stumble across an age-old crumbling statue of an ancient god and a shrine in their honour.
It is nearly night time, so you push open the heavy wooden door in search of shelter. Don't worry about your shuffling foe tonight, your years of surviving have made you fleet of foot and they've been left coughing (groaning?) in your dust.
You prepare your sleeping bag in the the night's half-light before going to search your immediate surroundings for anything you can burn for light. To your delight you find that some previous thoughtful worshipper have left several of the large candles you find in churches. You light them and set them about the shrine, which is a lot smaller in the sudden light than it first seemed. As you prepare to bed down for the night you notice a shine and a shimmer coming from the back of the room and, gun in hand, you go to investigate.
Don't worry, you're safe (relatively). It's just an old book, dry and cracked with age and covered in a thick coating of dust. You wipe it off and take it back for the first bedtime read you've had in a long time.
What you read shocks you.
"You, the reader, have been chosen by the River God to be his living conduit on earth. He values your alliance and will do anything to protect you. He is powerful and is more than willing to demonstrate. To be your guard and comrade on this blasted mortal plane he will summon a creature from your mind that will obey you completely and without question. Choose, Chosen One, and it shall be delivered."
Well. You're in for it now. Doesn't look like there's a way out and this book's too old for small print. Seems like a fair deal. You do some minor jobs for this River God and you get a magical ally which, in these ammo scarce times, might not be such a bad thing. So, dear "Chosen One", what do you summon?
Here's the deal. Almost anything goes, invent something, take something from a book/film/game it's cool. You want Godzilla? That's fine. You want a Pikachu? Fine. Chuck Norris? No. Anyone who says Chuck Norris must, under pain of death, quit Lost Zombies and erase their hard drive. And no, i won't be able to do anything about it but you seem like a sensible bunch so don't do it.
Anyway. Go go go.

I burn the book to help keep warm. It's obviously a failed movie script and I'm sitting on a movie set that's been trashed over the years. Besides, there is only one God and if he brings us zombies it's only a test.

Nah, and I'm not even a religious person. I just believe what I believe. But if I could have anything at all to help me fight zeds it would be an unending supply of sweet crude oil at a refinery base. I can do the rest.
