More story ideas


I had a lot of time to think while I was going to and from Auburn today.

Outpost. I have no idea what would happen in the outpost or where it would be. I just imagine a cold and crowded outpost.

Moo. Can we get to some cows before the other looters do? What about Zack?

History. Go to the library and figure out how those armies in the Civil War survived as long as they did.

Plumbing. What separates civilizations from, well, us.

Barricade. How do we make the wall? I say it’s out of cars from the Interstate. But how do we get through the wall? How do we make it?

Booze/Gideon. This would be harder to explain than write. Inspiration from the story of Gideon, which I think is in the book of Judges. Basically, it’s “To drink or not to drink, that is the question.” The answer is not to, but only one person has the guts to say it. He or she gets promoted.

Meeting/Election. BSG had an election controversy. We have a thriving town meeting on the roof of the garage. Something should happen there. What? I have no clue.

Christmas. An early thaw makes the worst Christmas in history even worse still for the guy that couldn’t find a present for his wife even when there was a functioning Walmart. “Honey, I got you some shotgun shells…”


One response to “More story ideas”

  1. Outpost got rolled into 37, but it might also get rolled into a Jamesville Penn story I’m trying to think up.

    Moo is untouched, as are History and Plumbing. I don’t see a line forming for any of them.

    Barricade got done, but it needs editing.

    Gideon is one I’m getting to one of these days, once I channel my inner church-school student. I’m still waiting.

    Meeting has been done in Spanked.

    Christmas was done in Merry ZXmas.
