I had a dream a while back, and I can’t remember all of it, but the main gist of it was that there’s a girl who is discovered by this guy. She’s injured, so he helps her (he was returning some kind of favour, but I can’t remember what). She wakes up in this rebel camp, and the guy who saved her is second in command. Then all of a sudden, someone says “The army is here!” Everyone starts gathering all these weapons, and this girl decides to look out of the window. Don’t ask me how the window got there; my dreams never make sense half the time. She looks out, and sees this army of thousands in formation, marching towards this rebel camp. That was the end of my dream.
Well, that kind of coincided with an idea my friend told me that he had for a story. It was dystopian, zombie, war, and action, all rolled into one. It actually sounded fucking cool, so I started brainstorming some ideas with him, and we came to the conclusion that one day we should collaborate and write this series.
Anyway, I think my dream was kind of a variation of my friend’s idea. I don’t know. It seemed different, but I think my friend’s idea was still fresh in my head when I went to sleep and my brain farted out that. So I’ve decided to write an outline of it. I’ve never attempted dystopian or action or anything futuristic at all, so this is going to be interesting..
Let me just say, though, that the only music I’ve been listening to for the last two hours is Alice Cooper, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden and Bush. Turns out they are good for inspiring dystopian ideas.
I might post my idea to see what you guys think…
Ziggy xo.
