When the last Bell tolls at the end of the world, Man will say "I was"

"He wasn't in the army, or the navy. Nope, Johnny was a member of the freakin' skyfalling space marines. Yessir, 35th division, corporal 2nd class. Won 3 medals his first year, won 3 more for taking out Ceranus. When that planet cracked open, the Generals, they said Johnny was the best they got. Gave him the solid silver cross for that one. Course the Ceranids weren't too happy. Maybe t'was why they hung 'im up on the streetlight like that, organs all tore to pieces..."
Morgan frowned and walked away.

Im trying to not sound like a certain fictionpress message board labeled "what if". So far i'm succeeding.

Bella is God?

What if I took a poem, took each line, spread them out on a page, and made up a story underneath each one that told of my interpretation of the line? damn./ T'would be interesting.

Sooooo you take an everyday event, make it so epic/thoughtful its a story in itself, and BOOM. good scifi. Or you take an everyday idea, such as....feeding a plant, and replace the plantfood with plutonium or something (shit liek that happened everyday back the 40's and 50s ya know) and all of a sudden you have a giant mutant plant on your hands. BOOM. Good scifi.

Little known fact-good scifi stories do not generally make good scifi movies. Case in point, Battlefield Earth and Jerome Bixby's "It's a Good Life"
