Great Idea

Okay I've got a REALLY REALLY REALLY good story idea. In fact, it's so good that I'm not going to post it here because I'm actually afraid someone will plagiarize it (I know, egotistic; but still, you can never be too safe!)!!

I Want

I was just going through my head about all the things I want and agonizing over how I probably won't get most of them (no I'm not that materialistic), and I got this great idea:

A book, tracking a junior high school girl (9th grade) from School Day 1 all the way through School Day 180 (obviously skipping the ones that are useless; the chapter titles are the School Day numbers). Anyway, every Saturday night, when it's possible, she updates her blog: I Want Possibilities. The format of the blog entries is a bit like this:

Saturday: Month, Day, Year
I WANT...
1) ____________ possible--but only if ________
2) ____________ impossible--but maybe I can _________

I dunno. Just some random idea that suddenly flicked through my mind and I just had to pin it down quickly so I can come back to it sometime when I'm lucid.

The End of the World

So I was watching this thing on the History Channel last night, and it was about how the Bible prophesies doom and all that. Anyway, I was reminded if The Expected One (one of my fave books), and I thought "Omigod how cool would it be if I wrote something like that?"

Well, basically what would happen is this girl, Sarah, is an orphan, raised in a Jewish family. Her twin sister, Tamara, died, but the circumstances are unclear. All she knows is that Tamara died right after the girls were found walking by the roadside. Her surrogate mother has been instructing her about the End of the World, as prophesied in the Bible. Sarah and Tamara were found May 14, 1948, the day of the "founding" of Israel.

Basically what happens is that after the surrogate parents die, Sarah goes out into the world as a writer, and automatically walks towards Israel in her research of the End of the World. As she learns more and more, she starts having visions of the times of Jesus Christ, and eventually she figures out that she is seeing everything from the eyes of Jesus Christ himself.

So yeah, Sarah turns out to be the reincarnation of Christ, and her twin sister, Tamara, who isn't really dead, turns out to be the Anti-Christ. When the two girls were found, the surrogate Jewish family who found them saw the symbols of the Anti-Christ on Tamara and were afraid. They stabbed her in the wrists, feet, and stomach, and left her to die by the roads. However, she was found and taken to the hospital, where she was saved and taken for the "true" reincarnation of Christ because of the stab wounds (you know, where Christ was stabbed by the cross and all that; I forgot the name... oh yeah, stigmata).

And then it's an "epic battle" between Sarah and Tamara, except the battle is really inside the two of them, because they ARE twin sisters after all and how hard would it be to learn you're supposed to kill your own sister? So what eventually happens is that there's an eclipse, and the stress of the decision bursts blood vessels in both of their brains, at the exact same time, the exact same vessel, and so they both die. The moment they both touch the ground, the eclipse is over.
