Week 10 Outside of Class

3 Narratives -

Suddenly able to hear others' thoughts, a fifteen-year-old college student is tormented by vengeful spirits.

For this one, I am still unsure about a storyline for sure. But I did get some ideas.

1) One idea was to have a college student going about her everyday life. The only issue is - she's constantly followed by four spirits that never stop arguing. The reason why she is chosen is unknown. They just started following her one day. It is also unknown how she suddenly became able to hear others thoughts. So while she’s able to hear other’s thoughts, she’s also hearing the constant arguing of the spirits. That’s a lot of thoughts running through your head all at once.

2) Another idea could be that a college student’s house is haunted by spirits, and she doesn’t know it. So when she is suddenly able to hear others’ thoughts, when she’s alone in her own house, she thinks she’s going crazy. But really, she’s not. There’s just spirits in her house.

3) Another idea could be similar to the Sixth Sense. (The movie where a kid can see and talk to dead people)

The direction I am trying to take for these ideas is more of a funny approach.

Some serious, not funny scenarios could be:

1. When she is able to hear other peoples thoughts, she learns about what other people think of her. This could be good or bad. Maybe everyone secretly hates her? Maybe everyone pities her? Who knows….
2. When she is able to hear others thoughts, she gathers a group of friends to play pranks on them, based on fearful thoughts these people have had that she heard. When she does this, though, she awakens Karma. (Karma can be a spirit, right?)
3. Maybe the spirit tormenting her is Karma, and part of her vengefulness is making her able to hear other’s thoughts - so she learns the truth about what her friends think about her. Or what everyone thinks about her.
