It's a story of a young woman, eighteen to nineteen years old, who has the same obsession with the paranormal that I do. I'll live vicariously through her in that she'll go one step farther. She's wiccan and follows occult practices and reads magick lore and what-have-you. She comes from a seemingly normal family: a loving mother and father and her autistic, younger brother about the age of eight.
This story begins in a cemetery at night. She buries a shoe box tied tightly by a red ribbon. What's in the box, you may ask, but that reveal comes later. There's a change in scene's where she's sitting at the table with her family having dinner. Seems normal, but the girl, Ashley, just isn't feeling it.
This is where I'm stuck. This is where I want to enter a plot device that creates momentum for the rest of the story. Ashley asks to be excused from the table to go to her room. Her mother reveals that she's been spending too much time in her room, but eventually gets the go-ahead to get up. What does she do?
I've thought maybe taking her to her room. Play on the phone or a computer; maybe skype a friend. Read a book, a grimoire perhaps? Maybe write, play an instrument.
I've though about having her go out with a friend. Her long-time friend who isn't into the occult and all that, but tolerates it for Ashley's sake. She's more of a basic b*tch 'like, oh my gawwwwd." Whatever I put in there is going to segue the story into the plot and set the pace for the rest of the film. Maybe you guys can help me out with something I haven't thought of?
The story after that plot device takes the family out of the apartment and into a home that's semi-secluded. Not like Mamma's Gump's house, but you get the idea. Moving forward is when things get out of hand: car tires go flat; spark plugs are pulled out and missing; keys, wallets, phones go missing; lights flickering; floors and walls creaking; hammering on the ceiling or from the basement; furniture being thrown around and broken; voices and shadows from people who aren't actually there; etc.
I don't know how many of you are religious or familiar with the demonic, but essentially anything that would otherwise be impossible they can make possible. They know anything that has not been confessed. Using this premise I'm going to delve these characters individually into their own personal hells.
WARNING: This next part is a huge reveal and very dark. It not intended for individuals who are faint of heart, politically correct, emotionally conservative or those reluctant to teeter on the borders of my "insanity."
Spoiler! :
The ending to the story hasn't quite been worked out yet besides that there's blood. I want to go with a happy ending for the sake of conflict resolution after such a harrowing roller coaster, but a morbid ending may be more satisfying.
If you've read this far, please let me know what you think and what ideas you might have to help me out. I'm open to different ideas and anything that may help if I get stuck like I am now.
