A lot of people worldbuild when they daydream and have the bones of a story kicking around in their brain, but have to pay the bills and raise the kids etc so they never flesh it out and write it down. What’s your story’s premise? Fantasy, sci-fi, alternate history, mystery, western, whatever genre.
A reverse Three little pigs. Where the pigs (cops) are the bad guys, and the wolf is just a pot head
Had a dream about a hermit that finds some strange idol while he’s out hunting. Begins praying to the thing and kind of inventing his religion and morals as time goes on. Eventually he dies, when he gets to the after life it’s like a busy train station. Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc. all go to different afterlife’s that are made in the image of their religion. This man’s religion was ancient and forgotten. So ancient and and forgotten that he had no “train” to take him to his afterlife.
Not entirely sure where I’d go with that but I really enjoyed the dream and if I knew how to write I would lol. If anyone wants to write it though feel free and just let me read it when it’s done
Homeless dude living in the train station of the afterlife? That sounds pretty cool. Like the train stations in the Matrix.
There’s something good here - if anyone takes this up leave a link or something for us other folks to check out, too.
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about fleshing this out: who/what made the train station? Given it’s a place people stay only for a short amount of time before being whisked off to their afterlife, what does the MC learn staying there for so much longer?
A doppelganger of sorts replaces a character, but it’s entirely for the better. Despite being an unearthly monstrosity, it’s well meaning, good intentioned and has everyone’s best in mind. Unfortunately this isn’t seen as a good thing by the crowd the original ran with, and those who find out are at a crux between liking the person and fearing the monster.
This is a Star trek Voyager episode. Can’t remember which one.
Mankind has started colonizing the solar system, including installing a satellite at the Sun-Mars L1 Lagrange Point to protect Mars from solar radiation and dumping a ton of water and methane ice on Mars until it is able sustain a thicker atmosphere and liquid water on the surface. Then, Kessler syndrome hits Earth Orbit, which causes a chain of events that collapses society on Earth.
Thousands of years later, it is found that there are now landing paths to get back to Earth, even though these paths are sporadic. A Lunar nation invites a Martian nation to team up to explore Earth and what is left of humanity.
