Yesterday I was listening to Mr. Ballen’s Strange Dark and Mysterious podcast.

In one of the episodes it was during COVID and in London a man showed up at the woman and her fiancée’s house. He said he was from the NHS and administered what he said was a COVID vaccine to the fiancée.

It was not a COVID vaccine, it was poison, and I can’t remember what happened to the fiancée. I know he got really sick but I can’t remember what happened to him, like if he lived or died. Also the man was connected to the couple very well and they didn’t recognize him because he had on a very good disguise, and, he was not from the NHS.

Anyway, I thought what a good premise for a horror story. Minions for the government, or maybe just an evil dictator, going around shooting people up with some foreign substance that turned them into monsters or zombies.

I would write it, but I’m already writing two stories so I’m giving someone else the idea.

That is how I get my ideas. I hear a weird story, or sometimes even just something ordinary, gets my brain moving.

There is a tree in the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens that is the oldest tree in Texas. I hope it is still there, it was when I went there 10 years ago. I wrote the story I am going to post today with that tree in my head.

Ok, well, I am done for today. Enjoy your Saturday. Spend it doing something you enjoy.
