1 Bad Day
Treatment:
WHO - Main, male character. God some shade in his life. May be learning a bit more toward the darker side.
WHAT - We all know about ups and downs in life. I noticed that no one ever has one great day in their life that sets the tone for a whole series of great days for months to come. Yet, we (I feel) understand that intimately all it takes is one bad day to give you months or worse years of grief. Example: a car accident. From the one action, we have the following bad -
Injury (months to recover, or more)
Loss of vehicle (weeks, if not more)
Possible legal issues (weeks, months, years)
Monetary loss (you get the picture)
WHERE - South Bay, specifically South Side. North, and Santa Clara.
WHEN - Early '90's.
WHY - Bad times are tests. Without the bad, how good does the good really feel. And the good give you strength to get through bad.
HOW - Put together a bad day, explain it 'Groundhog's Day' style. But we take you to a story already in progress. Main characters worry is that, replays will stop before he gets it right, or at least close enough to survive (i.e. no life in prison, shoot out with cops, or KIA)
Maybe write it as a Matrix SS (Neil Gaiman's Goliath comes to mind. Read it, it's very cool.)
