As you read in the -Read Me First- post, this is a depository of ideas that need a home, or a place to die, or both.
I used to think having 'lots of ideas' was a good thing. I'm realizing now it has a dark side. I get so ATTACHED to my ideas that I can't give them up. I hoard them. I suppose it's the fear of running dry. The fear of one day drawing from the well only to find an empty bucket.
Time to put that fear, that lack of belief in myself, to bed. Maybe you can relate?
The remainder of this post will consist of random words, ideas, titles, dialogue snippets, and other bits taken from a stack of notebooks I've been adding to for years. Have at them. Find a use I never thought of. Pass them on. I ignore them. If I use something I'll remove it. (I just found a children's book idea I forgot about that I like. Keeping that one.) Also, if I find an entire notebook is about conflict or something I'm not going to list that. And given the stack I have, I'm actually hoping I find more of that type of content. Yikes.
Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
*A letter to Francis Bellamy about the controversy of his Pledge of Alliance and how it was changed. "Dear Mr. Bellamy,
Please forgive the informal tone of this letter. I know we have not been introduced, but I must confess a familiarity with you that while not quite on the level of a friend, it is well above that of a stranger. This may be startling, especially again since you don't know me, but take it with the highest degree of honesty you may grant me when I tell you your 'oath', put down so succinctly, within the pages of Youth Companion magazine has made a profound mark upon the country of your birth.
An oath or pledge is not a matter taken lightly. You knew this (by all accounts) and measured your words accordingly. Would it then surprise you to learn of the discord and debate you birthed? Please don't think I am placing the blame upon your shoulders. Much has changed in the world since you were called home. Your words have been changed, Mr. Bellamy. Several times in fact."

Suddenly the lights go off and the closet door closes. The father sends her out to the hallway. He's pulled back into the room. Door slams shut. The little girl hears growls and things smashing. All hell breaks loose. She's very scared. The door slowly opens. Her father steps out, bruised but smiling. He turns back toward the dark room. "Apologize" A monster voice from inside the room. "I'm am very sorry, sir. It will never happen again." The father says, "And?" The monster, "I, ah, will now go very far away and never come back. May I go now?" Father nods. Daughter hugs him. "Thanks, Daddy!" "That's what Daddy's are for." (Note: I am obvious a father and obviously want to protect my kids. no great mystery where this ditty came from.)

place they were in before the The End. After shaking off the jitters, humanity
discovers everything appears normal. Same sun, same laws of physics,
everything. Several weeks pass. Humanity is drawn together by the shared
experience until the Hubble discovers an IDENTICAL earth on the far side
of the sun. Close observation reveals it is earth in the bloody thirsty 14th
century. Humanity must decide if they should interfere with this other earth,
and possible their past. Who will side with whom? Will old rivalries erupt?
What happens when "enlightened" man decides to play God?
* Among the social insects, the need for prompt corpse management is considered so pressing that there are dedicated undertakers, workers that within a few minutes of a death will pick up the body and hoist or fly it outside, to a safe distance from hive or nest, the better to protect against possible contagious disease. Honeybees are such compulsive housekeepers that if a mouse or other large creature, drawn by the warmth or promise of honey, happens to make its way into the hive and die inside, the bees, unable to bodily remove it, will embalm it in resin collected from trees. “You can find mummified mice inside beehives that are completely preserved right down to their whiskers,” said Gene E. Robinson, professor of entomology at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.
* Local awareness, Intimate knowledge of the immediate surroundings. Knowing what was moved last. Where fingerprints are. Who was in the room last. How items are best placed. The history. Hidden space. Layers of paint. Old smells, images, what pictures used to hang on the wall. Omniscience in a 5 foot radius.

* She is a mean, evil, bitch. When you call a character who
she is, you are giving credit to the author. To the man who started with those
same words or a vague image and transformed them into poetry, into a patient
symphony of vile actions spread down before the reader so that no other
conclusion can be made. An author worth his ink dips the reader into the black
sludge of a soul and lifts them out again. The soul is not real so no lasting
damage to the reader is done, but the craft is so good the impression of a
wound lingers to teach, to ponder, and to lift the reader’s soul by the
beautiful rendering of the ugly.
*“A watched pot”
--story of well meaning, over-protective parents who keeps
their children’s lives from boiling
* “Fighting the Clock”
--An old man on his death bed fights and defeats Death to
prove a point before accepting it is his time.
* “ The Long Haul”
-- Main Character - Female/early twenties/ Racial
differences almost non-existent by this point, except for a few small
cloistered socially experimental communities/Social class is middle like most
of the world due to generational accumulation of wealth/
World – Betting on the day and time of death common
practice. Prognosticating arts a cultural norm. Genetic blocking techniques
lead to perfect birth control. Suicide has become a performance art. Cloning
human parts common, but the cloning of people has gone “out of fashion”. Cold
fission power. Atlantis found. Boredom, according to a leading radical
psychologist, has become the major motivation in most people’s lives. The
impulse to live has been replaced to the impulse to be entertained. Underground
sex shops. Why wait for the perfect lover when you can grow them to customer
orders and dispose of the bodies afterwards. Long spans have been brought about
by chemicals added to the public water and air supplies. Huge plants exist
which pump air into the atmosphere, while others clean the sea.
* “The Married Man’s Kama Sutra”
-- A comedy about the perils of marriage romance told as a
parody of the Kama Sutra.
“* Village of the Darned”
--A reverse Village of the Damned where a very orderly and
insect-like world is visited by human children. Chaos runs rampant as the
human/insect cross breeds start acting like normal, curious, unpredictable kids
in this paradigm of order. They start playing with things, asking a lot of annoying
questions, not doing what they’re told, crying, etc, etc. All to the dismay of
their parents and bafflement of their peers, of course. Now, the question is,
does this society grow from this alien experience, or does it put an end to the
threat once and for all?
* Unnamed future zombie tale
-- Future zombie tale. Space colony humans left the earth
alone.Instead of eco-disaster, it was a zombie apocalypse.
They travel back to see the conditions and if the zombies
have dies off. For some reasons, the zombies decay incredibly slowly. It takes
a century for a zombie to decay to non-threat.
The humans don’t really need the earth. They are willing to let nature
take its course, rather than carrying the plague into space. They check in
every so often. This time, they see a message. A welcome home sign. One zombie
was arisen to lead the others. She is intelligent. She wishes to establish
trade and communication with her fellow humans. Her descendants. She invented a
collar to communicate with. This allows a mask over the face so the space
humans don’t feel threatened. It is an act of submission, to collar, to disarm
oneself. Is it a trick? What motivation does the space humans have for keeping
contact. They have developed amazing weapons and defenses against the undead.
Can the undead out think the other humans? What do they want? What tale in
history can this mirror?
* “Scratches”
-- Premise:
An average high school boy manifests x-ray vision after
falling off his roof. He is poised to enjoy a fantasy dreamed of by millions of
boys and men. The first time he uses the ability at school he picks the object
of his lust only to discover this “perfect girl” hides the bruises and scars of
abuse. He believes her “overprotective asshole” boyfriend is the abuser. The
boyfriend believes the girl’s father is the abuser. The father is unaware of
the abuse but he knows something is wrong with his daughter. She won’t tell him
what. He thinks it is the boyfriend. The abuser is the girl’s jealous mother.
The boy’s perspective grows during this journey. All faces are a scratch of the
surface of a person. Some are shallow. Some are lies. Some are as advertised.
We all have a hidden story. Often it’s hidden from ourselves.
The story examines the stereotypes and preconceptions we
carry, including most importantly those we have about ourselves.
* Mr. Fixit.
Premise
An unflappable furnace repairman meets his match when an
emergency repair call puts him face-to-face a piece of reverse engineered alien
technology.
The owner’s husband worked for the government. He brought
the “junk” home years ago and it worked fine until yesterday. She prattles one
about her husband and the junk. The repairman wants her to shut up (never tells
her) so he can concentrate on the job and stop thinking about his own problems
and the strange furnace before him.
The story ends when the repair man fixes the machine the
same moment the woman answers his own personal problem. He never gets to try it
out, however. He fixed it too well. The house disappears in a flash of light.

* Big Space
Astronauts and alien collide in space (car accident idea).
They laugh at the vast expanse of space only to collide in. The share gestures
of huge. Sudden bright light. Both clueless. The large craft open revealing a
huge, terrible thing…that puts on a little hat. It hands them each a little
piece of paper, then leaves again. Lights flashing as it does. The alien saying
something obviously not happy. Human – “ could not agree more.

"Hanks Last Day" -A story about the person who mails Lee Harvey Oswald his rifle.
Hank’s
Last Day
Length:
8-12 pages
Setting:
Early 1963 Chicago.
Summary:
Outside of some historians and conspiracy buffs, very few people know Lee
Harvey Oswald purchased the gun he became infamous with through the mail. When
I read this odd piece of knowledge my first thought was ‘Who was it that
shipped Oswald his gun?’. I imagined some shipping room clerk or supervisor
hearing the news on that late November day and wondering to themselves,
“Oswald? Why does that name sound familiar?”
This story is dedicated to that faceless
employee whose outstanding job performance helped one customer change the
course of American history. I have named him Hank, and this story is about his sudden
decision to quit and the last gun he ever shipped. It will provide the reader
information on a little-known side of the Kennedy assassination, demonstrate
the interconnectiveness of human history, and steal a peek into a mind and
culture struggling to grow.
