Hi Sharon,
There's actually a pretty good story about where DEAD RUN came from. Years ago, PJ and my dad and I were driving home from my grandparents' house in Door County, WI -- the trip has lots of stretches of farmland dotted with tiny bergs like Four Corners. It was a spectacular fall day, sunny and warm, and we began to notice that all the towns seemed completely deserted, not a soul in sight. Shouldn't everybody be outside enjoying the weather? Our minds immediately went to the dark side - after eliminating alien abduction, we decided that something horrible must have happened and began crafting a story from there. My long-suffering father, who always remained silent (and amused) during our madcap creative binges, finally looked at both of us and reminded us there was a Green Bay Packers game on TV.
