TIP: Always make sure you have a pad nearby to jot down ideas. Don’t rely on digital tools alone. Paper is the perfect memory. Have it ready at all times.

There has to be a reason for this slaughter, right?

Of course there does.

I haven’t heard of mass murdering Federal Agents, have you?

Don’t answer that.

For now I’ll label this fleeing person and call him Jake.

To make sure we keep the readers attention, let’s make Jake likable.

Early twenties, exceptionally intelligent and athletic—so we can rope in the ladies.

But why is he running?

In today’s world, information is a critical cornerstone and in many instances, the foundation of our society. People love, hate, protect and kill for secrets. It’s also a digital age, where anyone can gain access to information, just by looking at their smartphone.

There we go—Jake is a hacker.

He has information the authorities want, but he refuses to give it to them (or give it back).

Secrets.

OOOHH!! Stollen secrets that will expose someone important—someone hungry to gain (or retain) power.

I like that.

But it’s also been done before. Maybe there’s a twist here and this is about how the President (pick any of them or make a new one up) truly got into power.

Maybe the voting system was manipulated?

A line of murders in key positions?

New ways to gain control over America’s nuclear defenses (we haven’t heard much about missiles in a while)?

Good, but it needs to be better.

The point is that Jake isn’t just a hacker—he’s the son of a famous inventor (I always like connections with family)—who was working on a revolutionary new computer hard drive (HD) technology.

No. It should be a delivery system.

This is where I Google “fastest hard drive technology” and do a brief scan.

As of this writing, Seagate has unveiled the worlds fastest Enterprise HD. My idea, however, trumps solid state flash drives and hybrids.

Jake’s father created technology that allows transfer of data instantaneously and has a virtually unlimited capacity to store information.

This created another question in my mind.

Years ago I thought I saw an article that said microchips were having to be constructed out of other materials—because they are now manufactured so small, the very gravity of the Earth bends them.

Another Google search with, “Smallest microchip” didn’t bring the desired results hoped for—but it did lead me to other questions on the random websites I visited.

Microchips are now so small, they can be fit into virtually anything.

There are also hundreds of articles about water memory.

Technology is being invented all the time to conserve energy and to run more efficiently.

Human bodies generate electricity, though no where to the capacity as mentioned in the movie, The Matrix.
