Book Ideas-Black Zone: Patient Zero

Hello Bookworms!
Tomorrow is the two-year anniversary of when I began blogging, but since I reserve Sunday for God, I am posting today. I came up with yet another book idea recently, and I am posting about it today. This is mostly an idea based upon a lack of stories like it, and I figured it was about time.

Alright, so I know I already have a zombie book that I'm working on, but this one is completely different. This is a book combining three areas of the apocalypse that I think not enough people talk about. First of all: the first child born after the apocalypse. For some reason no one ever talks about the people who grew up knowing nothing but the apocalypse. This could be for the exact same reason as number two though. Secondly: no one talks about the end of the apocalypse. They talk about the beginning, and the middle, but very few talk about the very last days of the apocalypse in a lot of detail. Maybe because by that point in time the people you have an emotional attachment to are no longer in an environment which they find unfamiliar or uncomfortable. Thirdly: patient zero. While some of the apocalypse books and movies talk about the first person infected, not a lot of people go into it. Usually it mentions something in passing, and the 'outbreak' is usually seen as a giant mass of zombies surging towards the protagonist. It doesn't claim the beginning to have been like that, but usually it doesn't go into the very first zombie. I say usually. I do not claim to have seen all the zombie movies out there, and a few of the ones I have seen had a few similar elements. But usually they gloss over these details.

Black Zone: Patient Zero takes place 18 years after the apocalypse broke out. In the initial outbreak over 3/4ths of the world's population was turned, but the rest were able to survive by making it to islands, ships, and anywhere else with controlled environments. The people slowly began expanding, and taking out the zombies on other islands, then inhabiting them. Eventually they managed to reclaim most of the world, leaving just one continent with Zombies left: North America. However, Patient Zero, the first zombie, was somewhere in North America and the governments of the new world have located it. Somehow, due to the random way in which I have decided to design the biological structure of zombies in this book, if they manage to take out Patient Zero, then it acts as a hive effect, (Is that what it's called?) and will take down all the remaining zombies. So, the first person who was born after the apocalypse broke out has been recruited by the new government to lead a team into North America, labeled the black zone, to kill Patient Zero. Only problem: that first one born is the youngest on the team, and hasn't fought in 10 years.


So? Thoughts? I know, I post too many book ideas. Still, they all get my attention somehow. Well, I have my next post planned! I FINALLY got done my first short story! So, I will do some editing on it, and I should have it up as my next Shady Friday! To those of you who have followed my blog these past two years: How did you do it? And thank you so much!
Oh! Before I forget! The Latin phrase at the end of my posts this past year means, (Loosly) "Once you've started, you're halfway there." So please, start writing! Starting is one of the hardest parts. Continuing is the other.
New phrase time!

Disney shorts: Get a horse!

Hello Bookworms!
Wow! I got an actual request! (Sort of) And I am writing again so close to the last time I posted! And this is my 50th post! WOW!!!
Ok, well I am writing a post about an excellent Disney short, which I absolutely loved. It's called Get a Horse, and it's based off of Mickey Mouse. Basically, it's Disney Breaking the fourth wall.
Ok. The short begins as a typical Mickey Mouse short, in black and white with the obvious romantic interest, friends, and villain.(I'm sorry, but I really don't know their names!)  Girl gets abducted by villain, Mickey tries to fight villain, and then Mickey ends up thrown through the tv screen and into a theater. They essentially shattered the forth wall, or screen, and started playing with it.
As I found out when the sound stopped working, the sound is very important. It's mostly sound effects, and very little dialogue, with typical Disney music and a cell phone. But the sounds add a lot of texture to the overall story.
What it means: Who knows? I think it's really just one of those crazy Disney Shorts that is for the purpose of having fun. If that was its goal, then it definitely succeeded.
I know that this was a short post, but I'm working on some other posts. I personally felt that this was one of the most fun shorts. I will try to continue with another short that I found adorable soon! If there is something you want me to post about, please let me know!

Disney Short: Lorenzo

Hello Bookworms!
It has taken way too long to write this post! Well, a few months ago my sister and I watched twelve Disney shorts, and I was inspired by most of them. So, today I am writing about the one which I think was best written, and most definitely had the best surprise: Lorenzo. Now, I've been working on no spoilers, but I will do a summary of the style itself.
The story starts with a rich cat, who is uncharitable, unsympathetic, and taunting. He sees a mysterious black cat who has no tail, and makes fun of that cat while flaunting his own excessive tail. The black cat then possesses the rich cat's tail, and the rest is spoilers. Honestly, I never knew Disney could be so dark!
Lorenzo doesn't have any words, however the sound still plays an important part. The music supplements what is happening beautifully, and does an excellent job at foreshadowing, and setting the mood of the scene.
The artwork was excellent at implying stereotypes that were helpful to understand the story line, and the personalities of the characters themselves. Plus it lent itself to expressing the darkness of the story.
The plot itself held my attention utterly, and honestly left me speechless. While definitely the darkest I have ever seen Disney go, the final implications were staggering, and impressive. This is not a simple, cute Disney short. This is thought provoking, and dark. I suppose one might say, (to use fandom references) that Lorenzo compared to the rest of Disney is like CW's Arrow, in comparison to CW's Flash. They may be from the same universe, but one is much darker than the other.
As to what it means: I can only speculate. However, as that seems to be the entirety of what I do on this blog, I shall speculate away. Due to the phrase: fat cat, it could be that they were making a semi-political statement. Beware of the underdogs: they hold more power than you think. It's also possible that it was just a lesson on why making fun of people is a bad idea. Who knows?
Anyway, I loved the short, it was one of my favorites. Would you like for me to write about the rest of them? Is there something in particular you want me to write about? Oh, and is there a Shady Friday that you want me to continue? Let me know!

P.S. Sorry this one took so long!
