Interesting. It wouldn’t take many questions to develop the characters into a movie.

First question that could open many doors for Mike:

Why is he underdressed for EOD?

Bomb suits are pre-requisites. The battle with his supervisors to allow him to go to the bomb without proper gear would be an entire chapter/scene.

I wouldn't put the effort into writing a screenplay when the writing itself has seen so little popularity. I could try and blame someone else, such as Substack, but my work if it ever gets recognition would be post-mortem of the author. I've got a lot of stuff out there with potential, most of it is on Substack. Example, Song of the Wind. Would require some computer-generated beasts, but it would make an awesome movie. Heart of the Conqueror, absolutely epic.

Sounds good, although, enough dynamite to take out four lanes of a concrete bridge, and a six-story fall might make that suit pretty useless.

Yes…that would be part of Mike’s argument against a policy wonk beurocrat DEI supervisor.

I wish someone would do that with something of mine. Thanks.
