"
Once it infects an ant, the fungus uses as-yet-unidentified chemicals to control the ant's behavior, [study researcher David] Hughes told LiveScience. It directs the ant to leave its colony (a very un-ant-like thing to do) and bite down on the underside of a leaf -- the ant's soon-to-be resting place. Once it is killed by the fungus, the ant remains anchored in place, thanks to its death grip on the leaf. "

so I need some screenwriting software and ebooks so I can write that script how this fungus is experimented on by the US govt and is "accidently "released and spreads like wildfire and a ragtag group of individuals learn to unite to deal with this growing menace against this NEW breed of zombie who has a vise-like bite grip and do not travel in groups but instead stalk out their prey individually like stalking prey (and fight each other - what a TWIST!!)

all joking aside...
