The villian…  wins? :O You all are savage! 😛 I never would have related burning towns to “happy endings” but if the shoe fits…

Just a few thoughts to be asking ourselves if we go this route:

1. What is the Theme of the story? How do we uphold morality while still giving our villian his “happy ending”?

2. What drove him/her to do the evil thing (the working plot so far seems to be bombing a town for his/her birthday. How creepy!)?

3. How many characters do we need? How far back do we go in the story?

As another idea (I wouldn’t mind at all if we don’t do it) but we could do a story where the happy ending is not what we’ve been expecting. I know in my own life we got stuck in this horrible conflict, and I has some very fairy-tale ideas of how it needed to end (reconsiliation, apologies, reuniting with old friends, getting into a relationship with my crush… yeah, very fairytale). The thing is, none of it happened. I grew more distant to the Lord for a time, reconsiliation hasn’t come about, I havent talked the the boy in over a year now (honestly that last.one’s okay. The crush was kind of embarrasing). The whole process was painful. But now that I’m coming to the other end, I’m starting to see that it’s okay if this is the happy ending. Though my faith was tested and is still bruised, God used it to help me rely on Him for everything. Though no reconsiliation occurred, I never would have known such a strong ge of up of believers without the conflict. I may have lost friends, but I’ve gotten closer to so many wonderful people and now feel satisfied with what I do have. Sure, I’m not dating, but I’ve learned to rely on God for my desires and trust His timing.

So, yeah. All that to say, we could do a story where the character has an idea of what would be a happy ending, but it turns out that what actually happened is far better, even if it doesn’t seem like it. Just a though.
