story Ideal

[mst3k]

A year or so back I had this ideal for a story. what if a small navy patrol boat was sent up the mississipp river to check out things a year or so after an outbreak. What would they find as they pass by all the dead towns along the way? this team could also scout out around 100 miles or so from the river using motorcycles. Hope someone can use this. if some has wrote something along these lines let me know, I'd like to read it.

I've not read anything specifically like that. Go for it, says I. Sounds like a really cool idea. TZ

Post Apocalypse Now? robert duvall would certainly kick some zombie ass.

You could do a lot with the story. drop the motorcycles or not. I think it would be a great series of storys like a logbook or something. I do like the post "post apocalypse now" line. that could be worked in as well. I do think that some people would survive and river travel would be used to get around. I hope someone can use it and write a great story. I'm tried of reading the " you did'nt like me then but now you need me" type of storys.

Never get out of the boat! It'd be really neat to see some of the towns now fortified camps, with live people who aren't a bunch of half starved scarecrows. Fiddler's Green, midwest style. How would you deal with the lock and dam issue on the river? The river changes elevation at some points, and without people working the locks, or the equipment being damaged, no power for it, ships can't be lifted/lowered to the next elevation.
