1002

How about this?

A biological attack on New York City wipes out 99.987% of the population. After surviving the attack, a young woman is hunted by giant mechs. She is helped by an alcoholic homeless dude who seems to know more than he should about the bio attack and the mechs. She leads a small band of survivors out of the city to safety in New Jersey only to find that she must return to the devastated New York in order to do something which is critically important but I haven't figured out yet.

she left the oven on?

Thanks! Yes. That's it. You broke the story.

Except for the last six words, that sounds really good.

Smartass comments aside, she'd better have to go in to do something about those mechs. If they are hunting her, it's because there's something they don't want her doing - like destroying the main communications satellite relay that they are using or something.

My guess is that it's also related to why she was immune to the bioweapon. She could be an alien metamorph whom the robot species wants to destroy. That's my guess at least.
Right now I'm trying to figure out why they would want to go to 'Jersey. Ha! Jersey joke!
