IDEAS: Zombies
Different Types:
Voodoo: awakened & resurrected
Parasitic: takes over the brain/nervous system
Virus: flesh-eating
- Witch doctor helps to resurrect someone from the dead. This person/thing comes back semi-normal at first. Then starts to crave flesh. Finally bites someone and causes a chain reaction.
- Group on an island. Gets bitten by some rare monkey thing or falls victim of some African Voodoo tribe legend.
- Small fishing town on island? Only way on/off is by ferry, which is how the story could end.... (they escape and blow up the entire island??) etc...
- still retain human function; slowly develop an uncontrollable desire to tear into human flesh.
- once infection is over, the military tries to hunt down the last survivors to make sure the virus is contained.
- Eating lunch at school when zombies hit the cafeteria. Everyone panics and a bunch of people get stuck in the school.Some are able to grab groups & make it out. Those that do head to each of their houses before escaping to grab their families & things.
- jogging at night in a dark alley and up ahead is someone coming my way......
- Works at a personal care facility. Sees one trudging up to the house. Grab as many supplies as they can. As they're loading the car they take out a single zombie w/a crowbar that's in trunk. After that one's down, 3-5 more show up, picking up pace & shrieking. Anyone else coming? .. Heads home, rounds up more supplies and doesn't know what else to do so starts to barricade home & tries to create a reinforced perimeter. Eventually that gets run down so they have to move from house to house, gathering supplies & picking up more people. Eventually even end up with a semi-truck that can house them all for the time being & also lets them travel from city to city looking for a perfect place to permanently settle. [Fortified camp with cinder block bldgs. 10 acres or so with a stream for irrigation. Triple chain link perimeter fencing with a 50ft trench system. Barn animals & crops. As well for water. Ammunition & One rifle + handgun for each person. Solar Panels for power .... (you know, just a thought!!)]

WRITING: stabbing dream - written in high school
He could hear the rhythmic breathing of the girl, could see her angelic face laying peacefully against the pillow. How great he would feel when he ripped the life away from her. He could almost feel the coldness of the knife through the black leather of his gloves. He walked slowly toward the bed, silently getting closer until he was standing above her. He looked down at the girl, her blond hair spread around her in a halo and raised his hand. The blade glinted silver in the moonlight just before it was brought down into the girl's stomach again and again. His heart was pounding, blood rushing as he plunged the knife deeper and deeper. He heard the echo of his laughter...
Brandon Trent sat bolt upright in bed, sweat drenching him. He glanced at the clock and saw that it was 4:30 in the morning. Take it easy, Bran, he told himself. It was just a dream.

PLOT: resurrection gone wrong
MC1 simply cannot bare the loss of her sister/best friend/mother/brother. So she frantically searches for a way to bring them back. MC1 gets a hold of a remedy/ritual/etc that brings back her loved one from the dead. Story could go a ton of different ways... 1) Person comes back normal at first, showing up like nothing ever happened. Then slowly starts to become hungry... until finally they're taking off a chunk of mailman flesh as he slips the mail through the slot..... 2) They could come back as something else entirely.... already a zombie that starts the ole' apocalypse scenario....
EDIT: Also can reverse this and write in 1st person... from the point of view of the character that was brought back from the dead. Start with them waking up in coffin and making their way back to home. See the reactions of people who know them, etc....
