I was thinking of writing a book at one stage. It was going to be set in a car-free city. However, the city was completely enclosed in a concrete car-park that was perpetually full. Since it was so hard to find a parking spot, it payed to leave your car there as long as possible. Eventually, people forgot they had cars and never ventured out into the carpark, abandoning it to roving packs of motorists that were on an eternal hunt for the elusive free parking space.

The story was to recount, as is traditional in these situations, the story of a fifth generation city dweller and his/her companions hearing tales of the Outside, and venturing out (by bicycle of course), but first having to pass through the Carpark of Peril, combating it's denizens, and eventually prevailing, only to find that all there was Outside was an endless wasteland of roads and traffic with the occasional city on the horizon identical to their own.

Actually, that's a lot more detail than I originally conceived it. It's amazing the ideas that come once you actually start writing - maybe I'll do some more. What do y'all reckon? Good idea for a story?
