Description: Clive Barkers new horror

I was drawn in by the engaging idea - all the kids on earth under 10 spaz out simultaneously, all into a coma. Any kids born subsequently are in a coma. They all remain healthy in every other way, and across the globe nursing homes are set up where kids are fed baby food as they grow strong. 10 years later the only non-spazzers are 19 years old and above - but then one night, all the kids wake up...

And then there is a really badly acted and shot zombie apocalypse for the next hour set in a small town in a crap part of america. We don't even find out why it happened, the only time it's even picked up on is when two guys who are about to be zombie'd discuss it in a church (yeah, they're in a church again) when one says he liked the idea that it might be aliens. That was it. A crap zombie apocalypse on this premise.

You know when you have an idea for a short story, and then you know that to get even 3000 words out of it you'll probably need another 5 or 6 half decent semi-original thoughts? Well these dudes stuck at first base. It's just so fucking toss. How the fuck Clive Barker funded this is beyond me. Me thinks he was off his lid on beak when someone said about the 10 year sleep for the 10 years and youngers and it sounded wix - coz it kinda does - if that's the first 5 mins and then has a reason. They must have thought they'd work it out on the fly but were too thick.

Oh, and non of the birds are fit.

Clive barker films are pretty ghey, you wants to get into his games. Undying was mint and the new one Jericho looks the bombs. I hope you got that ninja pc all rigged up to play it.

I haven't got a 'PC' anymore. Just this laptop. I was going to replace it but ended up spending all the money on drugs. Every week.

But... I'm having one of them detox phases. No booze / drugs / whatevers in September - so I may sort one out, or at least a wireless storage thing.
