I do see an issue with continuity but can easily correct it by editing out the part where Hiro retrieves keys from the biker. (Which I will do now.) Keys in bike = win!

Nice writing!

Hey Mac, I am not a Harley expert, but I have owned 8 different ones. You only need a key to unlock the switch. Once the switch is unlocked, you can turn it on and off with no key...99 out of a 100 times, if you see a Harley in the parking lot, you can jump on it and turn the switch. Most guys dont lock their switches, especially if just going into a store real quick.

Just to let you know - there is a medication advertised on TV for eyelash growth "Latisse"...One of it's side effects is permanent change of eye color. Actually it darkens blue eyes, changing them to brown due to a chemical also used in glacouma treatments; prostaglandin analogues. These chems can also darken the skin.
Thought this would be useful if anyone is going to create some fancy chemical info...Personally, I'll stick with glue on lashes...

I didn't know that about bikes and after Z day hits it will be useful info for all of us lol

As I'm just mumbling off ideas for the story.. I'm wondering if instead of injecting humans with her chemicals, Ella set up an e-juice company and put it into a vapor form, thinking that vapers were ideal test subjects, since the FDA was ignoring them, and she could run her tests in privacy. Once the FDA had suspicions, they attempted to ban them everywhere to no avail...So, anyone who vaped her juices had sort of limited immunity to the zombie virus, but developed extra limbs & minor super powers...too far off?

That's more than a little off from what I have blocked in my mind (in more ways than one). The words are fighting me tooth and nail right now and I can't get things the way I want them on 'paper'. I have it fully formed in my head but I can't get the phrases to feel right. It's frustrating as hell! I'm going to take a break from StoryWriter for a little while and go check out a new gun store that opened up nearby. Hopefully, the words will work out their problems by themselves and I can get it all sorted out later on today/tonight.

I did run across that medication that grows eyelashes longer when I was researching the eye pigment thing. It was originally designed to treat glaucoma and the eyelash bit was a side effect. Sort of like a certain 'stop smoking' drug that originally was developed as an anti-depressant. :p

I'm going in and editing Mac's post per his request and then I'm off to look at boom-sticks!

It's locked from me editing. Whynot can edit it still. Currently reads:

He checked around back and sure enough there was a big badass harley parked there. Nervously he ran back into the store and fished the keys out of the bikers pocket. Dashing around the building he heard that awful wail again but saw no source for it. He figured it must have been his lucky day because the bike's tank was full, it started right up and he found a glock 40 with 6 spare clips in the saddle bag. As he cranked the bike up and sped away, he looked back and saw what appeared to be a woman wearing a medical gown standing on the rooftop of the store laughing at him....

Should read:

It's kicking my ..... I'm going to cheat and put a synopsys until I get the wordings the way I like them. I feel like I'm holding things back and I don't want to do that. It's going to be a short synopsys. As in:
Ella goes to Puerto Rico
Ella decides to incorporate Albino treatment
Things go great
Things go bad
Things go worse, then out of control
Contagion makes it to U.S.

In fact, I think I'll just cut and paste that for now.
