SYNOPSIS:
Rough draft - the setup Surf - Turf War A Zombie - Monster Civil War Millions (perhaps billions) of years ago a still forming planet between Mars and Jupiter gets obliterated and creates the asteroid belt. One-hundred-eighty-seven days ago (New Year’s Eve 2014) an asteroid (from the middle of the asteroid belt) just big enough to break Earth’s atmosphere is thrown from the asteroid belt. Monday July 6th. 2015: Norad: They notice that an asteroid is coming. To them they think that the asteroid will burn up in the atmosphere. They soon realize that it survived but feel relieved that it should crash into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Lincoln City, Oregon. No big whoop to them so they turn their attentions to the office chatter. They miss on the monitors that it has broken into three pieces. One third lands exactly where Norad thinks it will crash. The other two-thirds travel a bit further. The second-third crashes into a field for cows, chickens and pigs. The final third crashes into a nearby freshwater lake full of fish. The next day at daybreak the chickens and pigs are let out to free roam and scratch or dig for food. They are then rounded up and penned. The cows are then released into the field for an afternoon of sun and grazing. Wednesday July 8th. 2015: The freshwater lake is fished for trout, the fishermen are already out to sea catching all kinds of saltwater fish and crabs while men on shore are digging for clams. It’s also processing day at the local farm. It’s now Thursday July 9th. 2015 in the afternoon and all of the local restaurants are getting their meat supplies from the local farmers to set up for a beautiful tourist filled weekend. The weather forecast is for a hot weekend. Nobody will be wanting to cook in the heat and many people will be leaving the city of Portland to escape to the coast where the temperatures will be cooler. Friday July 10th. 2015: It’s an early morning for the kitchen staffs of the local eateries. It’s time to prep all of the foods needed for the much anticipated hungry locals and tourists. The clam chowders are in the pot and are slowly cooking. The many varieties of fish, as well as the chicken and beef are being prepped. It will be a normal lunch filled by the locals but between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. the diners will be filled. The night will be special for a few certain people. There will be a three food critics that are traveling together, a young couple on a first date and an older couple that is meeting up for a meal to discuss the final arrangements of their divorce. Some patrons will eat the chowder and consume some type of fish or crustacean. Others will eat the beef, chicken or pork. Very few will just eat vegetables. Some will imbibe, some will drink sodas or juice and some will only have water with their meals. The food critics go to the fanciest place in town. The sole male critic orders nothing but seafood and then drinks beer to wash it all down. The older of the two female critics orders the surf and turf and drinks a soda. The younger female orders a Chicken Ceasar Salad and has water. She doesn’t know that the water is supplied by the freshwater lake. The young couple on their first date go to a burger joint. He orders the biggest burger with fries that he can get along with a soda. She chooses a Malibu Chicken sandwich with fries and a soda as well. As for the married couple going through a divorce, they meet up at a fusion restaurant. The menu is half mexican and half american. She orders the steak fajitas along with Tomalito, beans and rice as well as shots of tequila with a soda back. No salt or lime is needed for her. He orders the Pork ribs with fries, baked beans, Texas toast. a side salad with ranch dressing and a Apple Martini or two. Once the meals and drinks are consumed the critics go to their hotel rooms to write their critiques and e-mails them in. The divorcing couple part ways. He goes to his rented apartment and she goes to the house that they once shared. The young couple stay out longer to attend a movie. He then takes her home and walks her to her front door. They say good night to one another. As she turns away, he is trying to give her a kiss. He moved to late. She enters her home and he leaves disappointed. The small town is now sleepy. Everyone is asleep now. Saturday July 11th. 2015: For those that ate out the night before, they are waking up feeling either groggy and tired or robust and ready to challenge the world. However, they all must move on. The food critics and some tourists depart for other destinations. The critics continue South on Hwy. 101. to Bandon, Oregon. The male critic feels like swimming towards the warmer waters. The older female feels normal with just a touch of adventure to her and the younger one feels wiped out. As for the young couple, she just wants to sleep in and he’s ready to go for a day of thrills with his male friends. Concerning the divorcing couple, he just wants to lay about and wallow in his misery. She wants everything! His soon to be ex-wife is feeling like she take the bull by it’s horns and dominate at least her world. Night falls and everyone slumbers. Sunday July 12th. 2015: For those that ate at the local restaurants in Lincoln City, Oregon… there have been some changes over-night as they slept. For those that had beef they now have traits of dominance. The pork crowd now prefers to wallow in filth. Of the poultry eaters, they now show tendencies of hiding to only want to emerge from pre-dawn to just an hour after sunrise. Now, what about those that ate the seafood and drank the water? Well, they now want to drink salty water Monday July 13th. 2015: By now ALL persons that partook of the foods and drinks from the Lincoln City restaurants are now showing traits of the majority of what they ate. Of those that left Lincoln City the next day (the critics and tourists), they do not realize that their innocent sneezes and coughs will be the catalyst of changing those that around them. The changes can’t be stopped. Of those that ate the beef, they will dominate. The pork eaters will be middle of the road. The chicken eaters will be the lowly caste. Of those that ate the seafood or drank the water, they will be dominate only in water situations. Every creature on this planet needs water. The only ones that will remain human are those that ate at home and did not drink from the tap. There are now mixes between the groups. The land groups are now monsters. The water group are now Zombies. Depending on who ate what, will define who becomes what. If a person eats beef ribs and drinks one glass of water, they will have extended ribs, be dominant and have either gills or fins. If a person has pork roast and water, they will wallow in filth and “might” have small gills or fins. If a person has a Chicken Caesar Salad with water, they will be cowardly, only to come out in the wee hours of a day and “might” exhibit gills or fins. Of those that had nothing but seafood, etc., they of course will have all traits that are fish/crustacean like. This certainly makes for an interesting mix of Monsters, Zombies and Humans!
