Okay so here's the thing. I'm dying to write something long, so i've decided to try my hand at writing a novel... for the second time. The first time I got just over a hundred pages and haven't touched it since, it's been months and months now. So tonight I sat down at my computer and just started typing and this is what came out:
From a distance immeasurable from their immediate stances, two men stood still as the stone statues that could be found throughout the park. It was nearly impossible for the gentlemen to clearly make out the other’s face, dim as the street lights were. Lining the suburban street on the far side of the park were rows upon rows of identical houses. Though neither had arrived together, they each held the same reason for appearing this night. In short, quick strides the two men closed the distance between them and carried on walking.
“Atticus,” the older man said, nodding his head in a small greeting. Standing beside him, Runstork was able to see the delicate features of the young boys’ face. He could not be much older than a child, early twenties at the most. The agency seemed to be easing on what had once been a gruelling procedure to pick an agent. Though he appeared at ease with the current situation, the line of lightly beaded perspiration along the boy’s brow revealed the truth to Runstork.
“Have you got the papers?” Atticus responded, allowing his eyes to steal a glance at the non conspicuous briefcase clutched in the man’s left hand. This was his first mission, as the agency so fondly deemed it. His success, or his failure, would prove whether or not Atticus was the most suitable candidate for the job. While the former would bring him acceptance and admiration from those beneath him, the latter would bring brutal treatment as punishment or death.
Now I know it's not alot, AT ALL, but I figure I should be planning a plot out or something. Thing, is, I don't really have one. All I have so far is that there's this Agency, located in various places in every country around the world. It's an illegal organization, kept secret from the world, and I want them to participate in awful things ranging anywhere from stealing thousands of dollars to kidnapping a wealthy family's daughter to planning the assassination of an entire family. I've decided to make Atticus one of the newest members, and young. Thing is, he's going to hate being a part of the Agency, and will eventually fall in love with one of the girls he's supposed to be kidnapping and blah blah blah. See, the thing is though, I have no ideas on what The Agency's goals are? What are they supposed to be working towards with all this evil? I kind of want them to want to take over the world, overcoming the government one country at a time... buuut I don't know haha. Any ideas? Opinions?
