So I decided to brush off my Apocalypse idea
that has been rumbling around in my brain since I am going back on the night
shift hopefully soon. Looking at WikiHow and their 7 Steps to Write Apocalyptic
Stories I know my Step one already. It will be as the world is ending, trying
to plan for the survival of as many as possible. Step two Decide why the world
ended and how. Alright that is a lot more difficult. Time to look up ways the
world could end online? NOT a good idea. After an hour of random searching I
have given up. Not that I didn’t get a few ideas:
Pandemic
Solar storm destroying electronics. Just one storm could plunge entire cities into darkness by
knocking out power grids and bringing down communications networks.
Super Volcano in Yellowstone or Japan or Europe
Global War
Zombies? Let’s face it zombies are everywhere.
My apocalypse needs to be something that will
still allow people to live. Something fast enough to devastate governmental
programs. Something to get people to want to hunker down together with
strangers. Something that possibly still allows for communication. Something
long term enough to have to set up crops and schools within the compound
building. I think I now remember part of the reason why this idea ended up in
storage.
