Short story ideas..

Story 1:
A man is sitting at a desk, rubbing a silver spoon with his thumb as he stares blankly at the wall before him. He let's out a lengthy sigh and ceases all movement. A while passes before he abruptly stands, enthusiasm enveloping every contour of his face as if an incredible idea had struck his mind. The strange man dashes from the front door of his house clad in only nightwear, he rushes into the car and -after a skipped scene of driving- hastily arrives at a large park. He blasts open the door with his foot and runs in a wild frenzy to the centre of the field, leaving the vehicle exposed to robbery.
The man stops... he is where he should be, he has made it! He whips out the spoon and gazes at it with awe struck eyes before plummeting it into the earth and digging. A loud clunk is heard and he discovers a peculiar container. Upon opening the artifact, he finds a silver knife and fork sitting within. Tears fall from the now shaking man's face as he puts the spoon inside the box and shuts it once more. He puts the set into its former abode beneath the ground and places the dirt back ontop. As he pats the final pieces of mud down, he places his two hands onto the ground and stares in silence...

Story 2:
A man kept finding food and things missing from his flat whenever he came back from work. He kept checking the locks and they all seemed fine. He thought it could be mice or rats but couldn't see any other signs of animals and the food items missing seemed to be too big. He eventually installed webcam/CCTV in the flat and saw an old woman on the film moving around his house and going through the kitchen. It transpired that she had been living in one of his cupboards for 5 years and coming out everyday to eat his food and use the toilet!

Story 3:
Shots of a quiet town. Everyone is going about their boring, mudane daily schedules.
Shot of a man dressed in all black sneaking around an alley. He approaches a lever and pulls it down.
The entire town goes black and white. People are shocked, confused, and panicked. The town floods out of their homes, offices, etc. and fonto the streets in search of the cause of the B&W color change.
One man finally wanders down the alley and finds the lever. He turns it back on and everything goes back to normal. Everyone celebrates. The man raises his arms in triumph and walks away.
The "man in black" sneaks out into the alley again, turns the lever off, rips it off the wall, and takes it with him. The scene changes to black and white. Celebrating people look confused, look to the sky, fade out.

Story 4:
so you start out with a guy waking up, and its obvious this guy has sever OCD. everything in his house is squeaky clean, and he has a routine that he follows every morning. The key is, you never see this guy talk, he just goes about his normal routine that he does every morning.
The narration sets in and start talking about " I am samuel johnson, and I am the best assassin in the world. I study my targets meticulously (show him reading the paper), and take the best care of myself ( show him brushing his teeth or somethin) and I am always thinkin one step ahead.
Then this OCD guy walks out the front door of his house, on his way to his car for work, and gets his head blown off. Then the camera shifts to somewhere else in the bushes, and shows a guy all in black with a sniper riffle, and he says "and that is why I am the best"
I think it would be cool cause if you did it right, the whole time you would be thinking that the guy getting ready is the sniper, getting ready to go and and get his target, but then in the last scene, you realize he is the target. ex. http://www.youtube.com/watchv=VRtI_99oXhY

I also am thinking about doing something with bullying and i've found this video which has given me really good ideas of my own for a change! I like how the mother is used in this one and the effects suicide has on family members and I came up with a really nice speech a mother could say to a bullied child. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XLcfdkkHQE. This one is similar, but I like how they use facts and figures at the end to bring it back to real life and how they flick from colour to black and white and I like the idea of the narration, I wanted to write a poem and use that as my narration.

I'm putting a link to this next video on here, because it's a true story off youtube and it highlights the feelings kids feel when they're bullied, which I want to explore and pull together, for both boys and girls. I thought maybe I could do it in two parts and flick from boy bullying and girl bullying. I want to explore what people mean by bullying. A lot of names come up with bullying like 'fat', 'ugly', 'geek' etc and I want to explore what people mean by those names and how people that are bullied can change the meaning of those names. I really want to make a video about bullying AWARENESS the best that I can, a video to help the bullied. Rather than the typical bullied story of child bullied that then kills themselves. I want to do something different, something more complex.
