With this creature being a water-dweller and cold-resistant, those running from the plague would need to go someplace very warm and dry. How good are your hero's desert survival skills?

Well, BLEEP! A good 4-5 hours ago, spent about 20 minutes or so writing up a bunch of my thoughts on possible story scenario's. Then my fingers some how went full retard on me and suddenly all my work.....it was gone, just like my paycheck and weekend when I used to work. So, let's try again. Someone in a lab gets infected with this stuff and two outcomes: the lab is in lockdown mode ala The Andromeda Strain, but it still gets out ala Stephen King's The Stand. As to what this stuff does....let's see, how about it drives you insane and you attack unaffected people ala 28 Days later or World War Z? Quick turnaround and the newly bitten person goes bug shit crazy and looking for someone to chomp on. Having watched the WW Z infected, they GOTTA be on adrenaline full time, so maybe after a period of time, they simply burn out from massive organ failures? Another scenario is someone get infected, but don't realize it. But once they get home later on, he/she goes to chomping on some family members who then go to chomp on people thru out the neighborhood. And considering how selfish a lot of people are, maybe this person realized he/she is infected, but plans to isolate themselves, but before they can do this, they're hungry for human flesh. Once again, someone's not aware how lethal this thing is and unaware they're infected. On the way home, they're in an accident and taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital where he/she dies and is declared dead. But then the dead "revives", biting the person or persons taking this person to the hospitals morgue and after a brief time, they go on a chomping spree. I remember The Walking Dead tv series having a doctor show where part of the bases of the brain and where it joins the spine gets inflamed(?), which is why only head shots work. Different scenario.....DoD tells everyone, ya gotta get your 2 anti-virus shots, it's a military order. Now think of the number of people who have already gotten their shots.....and in this case, doctors, nurses, cops, EMT's, etc. The bug gets loose and all those people are infected either walking dead or The 28 Days Later variant. Anyone remember The Omega Man movie with Charlton Heston? A lot of people are dying in the streets and those few surviving, some have mutated in be coming albino's and sensitive to light. They are also against ALL forms of technology. One guy (Heston) takes a vaccine which made him immune to this virus, but what if not everyone was mutated? The mutated out number the normal people who are being hunted by the mutants. There's a manga comic book and a series called Highschool Of The Dead. Link to the first episode posted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYt8r_8XelE&t=9sNo explanation given how the first guy got infected, but he bit a gym teacher who started running amuck, chomping on the nearest adults who started doing the same not only to other adults, but the high schoolers. Got a different perspective on how kids would try to survive such a scenario, life using whiffle bats and wooden kendo swords. I was REALLY rooting for the fat kid w/glasses, because he came up with some innovative solutions....adapt, over come, persevere. Now I LIKE bouncing boobs and tight panties on girls/womens behinds, but there was no need for this stuff in this series.....but then, it is a Japanese anima. I also got the 5(?) books that originally started all of this. And don't bother buying the sequel which takes place on some island. I also think the entire series is available on YT for free. There's a series of comic books/magna titled Y The Last Man. Bought the 1st issue a couple of years ago, so my memory may be faulty on one thing. Some bug gets loose(?) and suddenly, men are dying right in the streets. I also think it included ALL male animals, so no more bulls, roosters, etc. One guy is immune for some reason and he wants to get from the states to Australia where his girlfriend. Don't remember why she's there. Anyway, women being bug shit crazy even normally, they REALLY got bug shit crazy now. A bunch of women think God has pronounced judgement on man, but once they find out one of them is alive.....hey, let's kill the mo fo. As to other women, they're thinking hot, sweaty sex and of course, getting knocked up asap. From what I remember, this guy starts dressing up like a woman so he can hopefully avoid both sets of crazies. These books are available via Evilbay. I started 2 other virus stories a year or so ago, one being ala The Stand, the other George Romero's Night of The Living Dead. Oh yeah, don't forget the movie The Last Man On Earth with Vincent Price where everyone's turned into vampires but him. It where The Omega Man and that Will Smith got their ideas from. |

Been there; done that :-( Now I save my work every few minutes and save it to a remote computer when I stop for the day - or even for a few hours - on a new creation. Takes a little longer but I'm not cussin' Bill Gates and assorted other tech disciples...

Honestly, the fault is mine. Sometimes my fingers fell like they've been possessed by Satan. Some how when I hit a certain number of keys in some way, my keyboard goes off into The Twilight Zone.
Oh yeah.....AFTER I submitted my thread, remembered the other one I had thought of. Of course, it's triple X rated, so gotta think of ways of sayin' stuff without actually saying it. Virus gets loose and it only affects some men who not only become sterile, but very, very docile. They don't want to fight no more, they're not competitive any more, etc. No more war on terror, no more car bombings, road rage, etc. All men want to do now is live a life of peace and tranquility. Sheep, in other words and not only that, their plumbing doesn't work in making babies any more. Goodbye all sports figures and teams. Now women WERE happy with this switch as far as mens aggressiveness goes, but when they found out the mens plumbing didn't work, that ain't so good after all. Then of course, men were quite happy to stay home and watch the kids while mama went out to bring home the bacon. No more war/action/fast car movies....you get the idea. Now what happens if only the OLD GUYS plumbing work and not only that, what if women could SMELL the difference between one that works vs one that doesn't work? Make these old guy AT LEAST 66 years old (I'm 68, so I'm prejudiced in this matter) and if a woman or young girl wants some "action" or a baby, she's gotta find some guy whose plumbing works. As far as romantic movies go, men are simps, with the studios losing their behinds. So there you have it.... young, healthy males are out, geezers are in, with feminism being tossed out the door if those ladies want some.

Well, the sense of smell seems to drive animals ;-) There's a species of moth where one sex can smell the other from several miles away. Looking for a quickie? Just follow your nose ;-)
Humans lost part of that ability when the brain had to manage that "opposed thumb" thing and some other genetic "improvements" over time ;-)

Two movies that I think are British:
"28 Days Later"
and the sequel
"28 Weeks Later"

Yep, both are British movies. Wanna see a scary as sh*t movie? Train To Busan was made in S. Korea and it's about some guy who works at a chemical plant and he's taking his very young (9-10?) daughter somewhere when there's an accident at his plant. Think WW Z type zombified kind of people. Now he's trying to just get out of town and on a train to Busan. Don't think there's a lot of green screen computer graphics in this one. It was a big hit and they eventually came out with a sequel, one I've got, just haven't watched yet. There's a book I still have where a plague is sweeping thru the Midwest via biological terrorism. Killing wheat and all other food grown in the Midwest. There's also a British film made some time in the mid/late 60's, maybe the early 70's? A plague is sweeping thru Britain and a group of people are trying to get out of town where some family members own a farm. All I can remember is it having the word grass in the title.

Always stashing stuff on my pc for story ideas and came across this YT video awhile back. Still want to work on 2 stories about plague.....one, where people turn into zombies and spread their zombiness to others by biting them, the other based on Stephen King's The Stand. However, this guy's not taking sides as in choosing Mother Abagail or The Walkin' Dude. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DULsGSbSqA8 |
