Blog 6 , Sorry for the wait.
SET-UP: Titus and Celtix awake in their suburban neighborhood in upstate New York to find nobody but themselves and a few others alone. Nobody seems to remain except a few "undead" prowling the streets. Cell phones aren't working, power is down, and the water taps are shot.
INCITING INCIDENT: Titus and Celtix each find a note written on their fridge doors saying Topeka, Kansas. They both decide it's their only hope of discovering what has happened, so they and the other survivors find a map, grab a neighbors abandoned Hummer, and head to Kansas.
RISING ACTION: On their way to Topeka, they pass through 5 other states, and travel a total of 1763.78 miles. Along the way, they mend and bend relationships formed with Luther, their schools starting QB, Starr, his beautiful yet intelligent girlfriend, and Langsenkamp, a school nerd that never talks, but has keen survival skills. They also meet a few more surviviors that follow them on their journey. The group becomes so large that they must ration the food supplies and pick a leader. Titus and Luther both are selected as candidates, and they fight to become head hancho.
CLIMAX: Titus and Luther eventually clash as opposites to where they fight and cause a scene that attracts undead to the groups rest area. Everyone is caught off guard and have no chance of holding off the attack. Some escape, separated from the group itself, and some succumb to the undead attackers.
FALLING ACTION: Titus and Starr are separated from the group, while they have no idea where the others could be. They start off as enemies, but quickly become closer as they aren't sure if they will see the others, if any human life, again. Meanwhile, The rest of the group try and think of a way to contact the missing members. Eventually, they meet at the same town by chance and fight off an attack of zombies together.
RESOLUTION: Finally reaching their destination, the rest of the stragglers are excited to enter the city and see what waits for them. All seems good, no more conflicts remain among the group, and hopes are high. But as they reach the city limits, they can see from afar that Topeka is plauged by them same problems their home town, and every other place they have passed, has developed. Zombies now control the United States, and possibly the world. The remaining survivors are left alone, dreams crushed, with 250000 + undead leaving Topeka, heading right towards them.

Very interesting idea! survival stories leave a lot of action and suspense! although it seems like the climax isn't really that climactic. Maybe you should give them more of a chance against the zombies, or have more fights against the zombies. Possibly add the possibility of a vaccine? or maybe have some zombies that are related to the main characters?
ReplyDeleteVery good, I'm excited to read the whole thing, I love the zombie survival genre. There are a few random things, like the note that shows up on their fridge doors but as long as you explain that it's an awesome story.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so cool! I love the zombie idea, reminds me of the walking dead! I think the note should be a reoccuring thing. Maybe they left notes in other places too, so that the note becomes a symbol throughout.
