As I mentioned on New Years, I have reduced my resolutions this year to 1, and that is to write a novel. However, January is over and here I was sitting here without the slightest idea until this afternoon until I was sitting here, going out of my mind from the constant, absolutely constant,
demands for attention from a somewhat narcissistic 5 year old girl, and I started tickling her and I made up a little rhyme about how the robot zombies were coming down the street they’re coming to get you they’re coming to get you the army of robot zombies and so forth but I never got very far because she would start screaming which is no real surprise, she screams at the drop of a hat, but I was thinking about it and realized it could make a heck of a great story, at least it’s got a cool title, and the commercial potential is great because zombies and vampires and all sorts of shit like that is popular now, and I don’t think anybody’s covered robot vampires, or robot zombies, the possibility of sequels is almost endless, robot aliens, robot dinosaurs, O.K., I’m sure that one’s been done, but the point is none of these things actually exist, vampire, zombies, werewolves, etc…, but robots do and robots can me made in any shape, and even given sort of superpowers.
I just watched Dead Set last night, a particularly gross made for TV thing (I certainly hope) where the zombies eat everybody in the world except for the crew locked inside the reality TV show who don’t even realize what’s happened, and I watched a Phineas and Ferb marathon this morning, that’s just the kind of thing they’d get up to, and the idea may have rubbed off, but here’s my scenario:
A company that makes made to order robots, flying spy robots for the police, octopus robots to clean pools, really intimidating bouncer robots, yeah, I know what you’re thinking, sure, some sex robots, too, sells some zombie or vampire robots to a criminal mob (they thought they were for a theme park), but these guys send the monstrous robots out robbing banks and shooting up the place. Police are at a loss. Terror grips the community. The city is under siege.
It is left to mild mannered robot engineer Stacy P. Nerdo (I need to work on the name) to score with a super hot babe, find the mysterious programmer and shut off the evil scourge at the source. It could be anybody!
Just an idea.
