Sora Wrote:I'm expecting 1 or 2 additional POVs besides the MC that'll bring emphasis on his insanity. Maybe a (best) friend or a close neighbor. Also, slightly confused on whether this lamp is supposed to keep him from going insane or is making him go insane. I'm getting a lot of Silent Hill 4/1408 vibes from this.
Loving the neighbor idea. That's actually pretty brilliant for what I was building right now. Or maybe the landlord or something. I'll be using it to some effect.
Lamp certainly isn't helping. Kind of a painful reminder of his empty life (both parents dead, alone besides a sister who doesn't care about him, bad part of town, dead-end job--you get the idea). I guess it signifies a happier time or his mother herself (who loved him). We'll see what happens.
Actually, hell, I really like it. I wasn't planning on writing it from any perspective other than his own, but now I'm totally gonna do it from his eyes and his neighbor's eyes. I think I can make it define how truly he's slipping into insanity (the eyes of a sane man can more easily highlight the insane acts of another, especially one who doesn't realize it). Or you know, something like that. Good thoughts flowing now.
