Here's a good story that hasn't been written yet


I followed a medical waste transport truck today driving on 81 south. I thought, hmmm, what might be in this truck and what would it look like if there was a story of a sports fanatic (this is March Madness after all) who was driving to a road race, 10K, and he was in an accident with this truck? What story could be written where such a crash was an epiphany to his life and suddenly he found himself covered in bags of blood, intestines and removed body parts while lying comatose on a highway? Perhaps this is a bit Stephen King of me - grotesquely quirky - but there's a story ready to be written where an athlete finds himself covered in liposuctioned fat removed by a plastic surgeon. I'm sure that would be a comment on our culture. It'd make a great ending!
