Yep, it said epic to me, too, which is why I posted it as a Challenge. I just have too much on my plate for the foreseeable future to work on it. (I figured you'd like these two ideas, Mouse, for their dystopian feel.)
The interesting thing about this idea is that it could easily be molded from fanfic plot to an original story with little fanfare (pardon my pun). A president with a dislike for reporters makes a bold suggestion to kill the press which one of his followers takes literally. A reporter is "killed" in the process (but no body is found). Debate rages over whether the president can be prosecuted for inciting a murder. The reporter has to decide whether his/her life is worth resurrecting (since he/she is still alive, but in hiding) or if "dying" for the good of the country is the best way to go.
