...  Maybe I'll write a short story about a race of intelligent butterflies who have to wake up a pupa that's gone into a coma, and his name is Jake (because this is a parallel universe to Earth and the butterflies are the parallel to humans).
You know, that's not a half bad idea when you think about it.  You could make that work.  Probably as a thought provoking "what if" and "how would you deal with it" scenario.

@Techpro: This sounds like your idea you tried to talk me into using as a story idea while mowing the lawn one day years back. Y'know, a story about the grass in our lawn, and what they'd think about being mowed if they were sentient...  :P

I don't have the money. I have no idea how good or bad my ideas are. I am getting the characteristics of some of the people. John Baker is tough but not the "I'm so tough, I have to talk with such a low voice, and not smile."
He likes the tmp's, and the mini-uzi's, Grant likes the L86-LSW and the FAL.
Both have a heart and try to keep their girl, and others safe. I have EXTREMELY little typed out, and MOST is just who they are.

I guess it does.  Why didn't you write something along that line?

Here's one: what if turkeys were intelligent beings and they all realized the horror their species faced in November?
I like to think I have a Descent taste of music.

Because you can sum up everything there would be to tell in that one sentence. There's really nothing to tell. Trust me, I've looked at the idea from multiple angles. :P
