An Idea

So I've been giving some thought as to how to make these one-a-week blog posts we have to do entertaining, not just for me the writer, but for you the reader (assuming there are any of you out there), and I think I've come up with an idea. I want to write a story in parts, one (or maybe more depending on my free time) part a week about a pair of kids surviving in a post-apocalyptic world. I'm not an author, by any means, but I figured that a little creativity might make this whole thing a little less droll. The basic theme of the story is that some time in the future, a power-hungry dictator decides that he doesn't like the world he's controlling. So, like all mad-scientist leaders, he decides to create his own apocalypse. This particular brand of end-times consists of a chaotic world that the leader, Dr. Martin Zion, created based around a book he loved to read as a child, Cherie Priest's Boneshaker. In the first few posts, I'll set up the story and whatnot, and once we actually start reading in our groups, that's when I'll introduce the part of the story where the main character Ian, actually finds a long-lost copy of the book and begins to use it as a sort of survival guide, and eventually, a means to stop Zion from further destroying the world. Before I really get into the story, I'd love to hear what you all think about this idea! Feedback, protests, what have you. I'd really like to get a feel for my audience here so all 4 of you who are unfortunate enough to be following my blog, comment away! You'll get to play a part in a short story, and fulfill your homework requirements all in one go.
