Okay, so I'm kinda, somewhat. almost writing a story. Right now, it's to the point where I have it organized into a nice little outline, but it's still pre-production. All I have done so far is write a couple excerpts of different... scenes, I guess you could call them. So I hoped to make this forum post so I could try the plot on you guys and see what you think.
.characters.
[/u].Nevin Parry. [short Nev]
.Vannessa Parry. [short Vann]
.Ella Brown. [no short]
No other characters. [yet][/right]

-1 Ella is bullied, goes to bathroom crying.
-2 Ella notices graffiti on walls, pondering; gets creeped out by one entry- My Last Confession: life will never be the same...-and begins to leave.
-3 Ella hears conversation in other room, pauses, and hears gunshots.
-4 Ella waits [she's scared] until shooting stops & enters other room, finds friend's [Vann] brother, Nev, lying bleeding on the floor, with no sign of shooter. Screams for help while trying to talk to and comfort Nev. They both black out.
-5 Ella wakes up in hospital, visits Nev [who is stable], and [semi] normal life ensues. Suddenly, she finds another entry of the 'Last Confession', stating that the target had not died the day of the shooting. Ella realizes the shooter was after her.
-6 Ella becomes sick knowing she could have stopped the shooting at the start without endangering Nev if she weren't so chicken. Vann sluffs school, preferring to stand watch day and night by Nev's hospital bed.
-7 Vann begins coming back to school, only exceedingly depressed and cutting herself. Ella is concerned, but soon preoccupies herself by finding a third 'Confession', proclaiming the day of her death.
-8 Ella's Death Day approaches, and she tries to come up with a plan. The day of, she goes into hiding, but is found, and trapped. She finally meets the shooter, her own best friend, Vann. Finally, after trying to speak her way out of it, the shooter, pulls the trigger.
-9 Ella once again wakes up in the hospital, alive and relatively unscathed. The shooter, Vann, had pulled the trigger on themself, an instant kill, no longer able to cope with reality any longer. After being released from the hospital, both Ella and Nev, meet as an ending and beginning.[/left]
Soon, I'll have all the kinks in the hose that is my story worked out, and make some posts with actual writing, but not right now, it's too late. Thanks for reading, and please post comments and ideas!
