The Cure

James Rodgers is a veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, after a war over control of the only substance found to inhibit the symptoms of the zombie virus decades earlier. He experiences unexplained hallucinations from his experiences in the war that puts strain on his family and relationships. Meanwhile, the federal government formulates policies cutting medical benefits used to pay for the cure to the remaining carriers of the virus to remain among the living. Rodgers’ mother and brother are carriers of the zombie virus, and if the legislation passes will lead to their eventual demise. Faced by the nightmares of his past, and the nightmares in his future, Rodgers risks losing everything he loves, to prevent his nightmares from becoming a reality.

James Michael Cobern was born in Pensacola, FL and raised in a single parent home by his mother in Gulf Shores, AL. He didn't develop the bug for writing dramatic literature until his mother moved him to Fresno, CA during his teenage years and attended Fresno State University as a Political Science Major. His particular interest in dramatic literature is in theatrical productions and challenging the status quo on what is truly possible on stage. On a typical day, you may find him walking his pomeranian, Sugar Bear, reading, writing and taking in the sights of the day in Fresno's Tower District.
