Which story should I elaborate on more and submit to a short story writing contest? They are all in summary form, and a few of them I just thought up today, infact, so they are ofcourse not even close to a complete summarization
Thanks:
Storyline 1:
Man moves into a desolate mansion in a new town to start a new life. The mansion has a lot of creaky floorboards and the plants in the garden are all dead. No ones lived in there for 100 years. He finds that some rooms have rounded walls and lots of hallways that lead to nowhere, and doors that lead to dead ends. In one of the rooms he finds a note saying in three days, at midnight he must not leave the room, no matter what happens outside the house. Or he should leave the house altogether. It is signed by a first name he doesn’t recognize. A small bag is found with a note. Inside is a bone, a tape recorder knife, 12 strands of human hair and a knife. He dismisses this as a joke. One day he sees a crack in the wallpaper. Behind it he sees writing. Intrigued he rips it a bit and sees more writing. He tears at it some more out of curiosity. And more writing.. he peels off a huge strip of paper and finds weird writing, and after about 6 hrs of peeling he sees that the whole room is covered in writing he doesn’t recognize. The next day, he brings a mirror into the room accidentally and in the reflection he sees the angles of the room all contorted. When he takes the mirror and places it anywhere else in the house, it has a normal reflection. Only in the reflection is the room’s walls fucked. The day on the note finally arrives (I have not come to a conclusion as to why he chose to stay in the house, I just came up with the idea for the story 2hrs ago). At midnight the clocks all start going crazy and the lights go out. The house starts to rattle, louder and louder. He hears moans outside and footsteps. The writing starts to glow…He wants to see what’s out there, but he is now scared to leave his room. He opens the door, finally, and looks outside…
Storyline 2:
Set 100 years in the future, a doctor tries to commit suicide distraught over the death of his wife due to an illness (but fails). Blames himself, and loses faith in the medical sciences. He is visited by a man who gives him three tasks. Reluctantly he does them. These tasks all involve helping people, and he goes around to exotic stars and galaxies. At the end he realizes he’s needed for something more, and decides to live.
Storyline 3:
A man goes thru time. Finds himself in a 50s type town. Everyone’s friendly to him. He meets a family who give him shelter. Typical American dream type suburban town (think Edward Scissorhands). The dad tells him the year is 1958, and he is in the town of Doverheights. Night falls. The family goes to visit the neighbors. The time traveler thinks its weird that they leave a stranger in the house alone. He goes to sleep. When he wakes up he sees the family has changed. They have fangs, claws and just generally creepy looking. They try to break into the bedroom. He hauls ass. The whole picture perfect town is after him. He runs into the woods. The pack of monsters still chase him till gunshots ring out and they die. A man tells him to come with him. They go underground. Everyone is gun toting, dirty and messy looking. He asks WTF is going on. They tell him its not 1958. Its 2007. The “town” is actually monsters. They just came out of nowhere, overwhelmed Earth. Radio contact lost, (December 14th, 2012 is called the Silent Day because all radio frequencies on Earth died). In the daytime they can camouflage as humans. They don’t know why the Demons live in picture perfect towns and model themselves after cheesy 50s sitcoms. The time traveler reluctantly agrees to help. As time goes on, he finds out, much to his amazement, as to the origins of the demons, where they came from and how to stop them.
Story line 4:
A man somehow gets the ability to fast forward time (not travel). At first he uses it to just skip a few hrs in his boring blue collar life. Then alittle more and alittle more. He fucks up and accidentally FFs 15 hrs into the future. Images BLAZE by him. And sound fragments (as it would when you FF a VCR). He opens his eyes to find himself in a room. Theres a gun in his hand. There are bullet holes in the walls, and 4 dead bodies. He hears sirens in the distance. He knows he can’t explain how he got there, or who the dead bodies are. He runs into the night. From what few images he made out in the blurr, he recognizes street names. His cell phone has 2 new numbers that he must have gotten during the day. He knows he’s not a murderer (or is he?). He uses these clues to find out what happened in the 15 hrs he fast-forwarded. And who the 4 people are and exactly why they are dead. In the meantime the cops launch a nationwide manhunt for him. One of the dead is a Senator’s son.
