Werewolf Apocalypse

We’ve seen plenty of Zombie Apocalypses and even a few Vampire Apocalypses. With the exception of a few stories set on the Moon I don’t think we’ve had an account of a Werewolf Apocalypse. Depending on the type of werewolf plague that gets unleashed I’d find that scarier than either Zombies or Vampires. Zombies, even the fast kind, aren’t very bright and aren’t terribly strong. Vampires are worse than Zombies but I’ve less disturbed by something that kills me by sucking my blood than I am by something that will eat me alive.

Werewolves? Even the full moon only variety are:
Fast.
Relatively smart.
Superstrong.
And they eat you alive.

KILLER STARFISH.

I did say I’d be posting some really dumb ideas didn’t I?

Just about every member of the animal kingdom has been featured as the KILLER in some story or other. The Birds. Frogs. Grizzly (to pick one). Willard (and his rats).  Worms (Squirm). Slugs. Crabs. Piranha. All sorts of killer bees in movies and books. Lots of killer spiders.

Why not killer starfish?

10 years after a housing development is abandoned in midbuild, a mailman finds himself picking up & delivering mail to the empty(?) homes.

You know what I find creepier than old abandoned houses? New abandoned houses. That is, houses that were mostly built and then never finished. Old houses tend to be singular things that have come to the end of their lives. The new houses that come up as part of a housing development represent dreams stillborn.

I know, I know. Maybe someone just wanted to build them because they thought they’d make a lot of money and they paid as little as possible and the construction is shoddy and anyone living in them would have been miserable. Maybe. I’m one of those sentimentalists who feels bad when someones dream fails, even if it’s just the dream of making some extra dough.

I’m also a bit of an animist so, to me, places have spirits. And a place that was meant to be a home, yet never became one, seems like a very sad place indeed. 

Huge starships enter solar system, consume Pluto, begin harvesting Uranus, at current rate will reach Earth in 100 years

Most stories of alien invasions have the aliens making a beeline for Earth. Sometimes they want to help humanity, sometimes they are just explorers, often they want to take off. But an alien civilization might not be especially interested in either Earth or humanity. If they’ve adapted to life in space a habitable planet (for us) could be just another curiosity. Planets could simply be sources of resources.

And what would humanity do if we knew a technologically superior “enemy” was coming? Band together? Fight more? Invest in defense? Try to contact the invaders?
