Sometimes I get listening to some music, and occasionally I think up really wierd stuff, including Story Ideas. I've been really compelled to write this story up that I'll try to explain to you guys, but I'm having trouble starting. Sorry if this is sort of a wall text (as it's a pretty long idea, and I might be too detailed in some parts and less detailed in others), but here goes.
Title (tentative): Thy Kingdom Come
Intro (told from the 1st person; the main character): The story starts out with a man, his wife and two kids going through their normal routines. For the intorduction, I'll be also introducing other main/side characters. Sure, some may be cliched, but I plan on making their characteristics non-cliche, despite their cliche appearence. During this day, the family will travel to Church, the grocery store, a drug store, and back to their house in the suburbs, not that far from their town. I'll introduce the following characters: The Preacher, The autistic child and his mom, a black male, and a 18-year-old high school drop-out.
Plot (the main happenings and important segments after the intro): This is going to sound like everything else before it, but I've got a lot of ideas that change this from predictable to unpredictable. The family of 4 rests for the night at their house, but I'll fit in a break in the story to tell what happens during the night. Basically, overnight, people around the world inhabit a form of rage; On the run to destruct not only human structures and nature, but the human kind as well.
*Omg, another zombie flick... <_<*. Okay, that's the introduction to the main story, and it sounds like every other zombie story, but It's more than that. I'll be fitting in tons of suspensful moments, such as the initial shock that the world is in complete caos (as when the family wakes up in the middle of the night), and more continuous stuff as the plot moves along. Helicopters will be heard overhead of the family, and people will be banging on the doors (non-'raged'). Eventually, a certain group of people will be gathered into the house, and they will team up to find out what the hell is going on. First instinct is to run, but eventually (after much verbal and physical debate), they move to the attic of their house, where the main family had stored radios, blankets, etc. Their pantry is also located in their garage where the entrance to the attic is, so they are able to ration out food from there for a couple days. So, in a nutshell, they'll be conversing and arguing what is happening around them, why it is happening to some and not to others, how does this 'rage' spread, and what to do about it. I'll sprinkle in some action and hot debates here and there, but the story picks up where the preacher has this dream.
Plot-altering midpoint: The preacher (yea, sure, of all people), has a dream where he believes God has done this to them. God is the one responsible for these mindlessly savage behaviors among people. He says that God and the Devil are cooperating together to cleanse the Earth of all evils, as the time has come to where God will make His Kingdom here on Earth. God let the Devil help because he trusted the Devil once more (as he did in past scriptures, but we all know he betrayed God) to help him and be with him for this new Kingdom; He's giving the Devil a chance to redeem himself to his once holy form. But, the Devil once again betrayed God, and has turned the people marked "Un-pure" as the ones to destroy God's land for his Kingdom.
Quite a dream this guy had, and there will be tons of red-hot debating on issues reguarding religion, sanity, caos, and the "norm". Later, the Preacher receives another dream revealing more potentially true information:
The ones that are deemed Pure by God and the Devil (ones without true sin) cannot obtain the "rage". He has been told of a list of names that are deemed pure and to bring them to a location where they will help God bring down the Devil in a fight for His Kingdom (I haven't decided on the locale, but I'm thinking of something that would not appear grand at all, if not very far from average).
This dream sparks debate over what to do with the people that are labeled as "Un-pure". Do they kick them out of their group, keep them, or what? The group's numbers will dwindle as more characters aquire their "rage", but the story flows in a way where the group (for the most part) keeps getting updated by radio or word-of-mouth (from other Pure people) of what is going on in different locations of the area/country/world and how they're dealing with it.
Ending: Eventually the group gets to the location of the final battle and a few more twists are revealed (I'm really sorry for not explaining a LOT of this story, but it would take too long to explain in one sitting, and I'm sorry if this is hard to follow): The Autistic kid was actually God's Angel sent to help the group get to the location of the final battle (the Angel inhabited the boy's soul ever since the 'rage' outbreak), and another one of the "pure" people actually turns out to be a servent of the Devil who was trying to misguide and cause caos within the group (very crafty ways of getting people to induce arguements and fighting). And then the battle begins...
But then I seem to lose my train of thought =(. I can't really decide where I want the story to go from there. There's so much character development I have planned (but didn't share with you yet), and hopefully I can get around to writing this puppy before too long. There's more specifics I have to research first before fully writing (such as the religious aspect, as I want to be as realisticly accurate as possible), and maybe as I update with certain sections of the story this will make sense.
Sorry if it kind of seems like I'm rambling, but I just wanted to get this idea off my chest (and at least now I can come back here to have a look at what I had planned albeit very disorderly <_<)
