For the people just living their lives, it's great. You have to go digging to realize there's something more there. Something much more horrible and worse. There's going to be elements of both Aztec Mythology and Lovecraftian Mythos. Which is a messed up pair of things to integrate. People are so drugged up they don’t know that it’s not a utopia.

Let's do it! Good luck. I usually let myself have 20 words for the logline. Hmm, a utopic future with a horrific underbelly...so does that make it really utopic? Or a dystopia? Amen! Let’s do it! Good luck.

Hmm, a utopic future with a horrific underbelly…so does that make it really utopic? Or a dystopia?

Thurston. No, you are not leaving a comment to yourself, I'm a different David Thurston, who stumbled across a blog with my name on it. So, you are a writer. I've poked around and not found what sort of stories you tell. SciFi? (my personal favorite) What? Looks like you have quite a few quills in the ink well. My advice is tackle one at a time. I never get much done if I have too many projects going at once. Hello David, It’s David… Thurston.

And perhaps unsurprisingly it is not too different from yours. It involved Jeopardy, but not an invitation to appear. My goal was to be a Jeopardy question! -- Well, the answer actually. I figured you were either famous or infamous to end up on their board. With that as my objective, I think I still might have a chance. Now the question is...do I want to be famous or infamous?
