If they had a pill or shot that could extend life 25%
Would you hear about it?

What if anyone that talked about it would not get the shot anymore. And only special people were allowed to get it.

It would lead to a few rich or famous people that always look 20 or 30 years younger then they should, and live to 100.

Think this could be made into a short story?
Any plot twist or ideas?

Would you agree to keep it secret knowing your loved ones were not included, just so you could be?
Interesting question.

1. It's a very interesting idea for a story.
I think it could very well be one hell of a short story, indeed...

Go for it!

2. Actually you just gave me an idea.

No Offence, it takes what you said out of context, but it gave me the idea.

When a person says he will write about it, someone comes up threatingly, and tells them "it would be a short story." Get it, like with menacing undertones.

LOL.

See already getting ideas :)


(Edit: CT'rs, this really is just a story, ... or California Peggy is the strong arm of the secret order of corrupt pharmacutical companies. Enforcer Peggy.)

hehe

3. No worries!
I'm not offended!

You take your inspiration where you find it!

I got an idea for a poem this morning when I looked at a photo here...

It just triggered me!

So, have at it...

:hi:
