Today I face my most difficult writing task, writing my son's obituary. He died in last week’s plane crash at Edwards AFB, one of the 8 heroes on board the B-52 that crashed on what was supposed to be a routine test flight. Now, it is my duty to honor my son by writing his obituary.

This is a really tight logline (for those looking to master that art). When a rogue squad of genetically engineered super soldiers break loose in the desert, a sniper must unleash hell to protect her young daughter. That's precise, impactful, and makes you want to know more.
