I think that the whole "Freak Week" thing has missed its calling as a brutal, horror story about a week where violent and destructive weather from tornadoes to blizzards to hurricanes causes the entire earth to slowly degrade their brains into losing all rationality and relying on the animal instincts to protect territory, find prey, find a mate, and survive. It would be very dark, very brutal, very violent, and very nightmarish. But that's just what I would like to see.

I'm new here, and I'm going to criticize the ability to add a cast of celebrities. It's not like it's your job as a writer to establish enough of an appearance to your characters so that the reader can visualize in their heads what those characters look like instead of placing a celebrity face upon said characters.

@LuckyStriker30 Interesting comment. I have a cast, but only because many readers on WP expect it. I prefer giving pointers, so that people can develop their own characters. And I mean pointers. Age bracket, and some key aspects of the characters. What I don't like is these detailed descriptions of who is wearing what, is 5.6 feet, blue eyes, long lashes. Blah. Especially not all at once. I like to describe enough of the settings, the people in it but reading is all about using your imagination. It's a different form of creativity. But it's easier, of course, to consume a film... So I tried to write something that could be a movie.. Sorry for the rant, but you really have a point there!
