Because of me being a writer, and have not written in some time, I was desperate for any ideas.
Nate blessed me with the idea of a schizophrenic child whose parents seem really terrible, but are just protecting her from the world outside. Obsessively.
Here’s what I, may I remind you,
I
have so far as far as characters. You don’t have to read it if you don’t want to lmao
Characters:
MC (young girl): Sara King- Homeschooled. Ten years old. Shy, reserved to herself. Isn’t open to her parents. Mother scares her. Has outside people (like [Redacted Friends]) that are trying to reach her and help her. Parents of said friends had already suspected something wrong. Likes to drink sodas and dislikes loud sounds.
Appearance: Relatively short, wild black hair, always freaking frizzy, crooked, yellowed teeth.
Parents:
Father: Oscar King- Factory worker. 45 Years of Age, born 3/06/75. Formerly an alcoholic, particularly knowledgeable in the ways of manipulation. British pedigree. Agnostic. Had several affairs while with Phoebe. Possibility of half-sisters or half-brothers to Sara is strong.
Appearance: Pale white, patches of opaque skin on his hands and arms (Vitiligo). Dark black hair that also is missing patches of color due to his condition. Dark blue eyes, prominent jaw, strong brow, small cheekbones. 150lbs, 6’ (barely underweight due to body structure). Close to a rectangular body shape.
Mother: Phoebe (Rose) King- Unemployed. 38 Years of Age. Born 12/26/82. Has a degree in pediatrics. Currently not searching for a job due to taking care of Sara. Mixed ethnicity (French) Christian. Previously married, divorced one time over family issues considering religion.
Appearance: A kind of chick you’d see as a regular at a nail salon. Despite practicing religion, she has undergone many physical changes based on her previous relationship, and what he wanted. Long nails, usually painted a sickening pink, blanched, stretched skin, making her look plastic-like and unattractive. Hair dyed a blonde, natural brunette. Dark, dark blue eyes. 5’3, 120lbs (normal). Ridiculously pear-shaped body.
Made up/fantasy people (Supporting characters):
Master Frank Clarke (Made up king of 1882)
Mr. Oscar Woodward (Butler guy)
Real Threat (Not necessarily an antagonist, just someone working against the parents):
Child Protective Services
Detective Rolph Joan (big bad boi)- Always annoyed, works late nights and early mornings. “Big Coffee and Big Tired” Aesthetic. Despite always being annoyed, nothing ruffles his feathers as easily as one might think. Calm in situations of high stress. Has a family of three; three adopted children, divorced twice, but found love in a woman named Molly Hiner (Molly Joan). Has Swedish heritage (hence the first name. Father was 50% Sweed). 5’11 and 172 (Slightly overweight due to muscle). 54 Years of Age.
Appearance: Overfluffed brown hair, sticking up in every single direction due to how many times his hands have gone through it. Damage to the roots where he had dyed it repeatedly. His hair sort of looks darker on top as opposed to the ends due to his roots being dyed pure black rather than the dark, dark brown his hair usually is. He doesn’t care too much.
Detective andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) “Andy” Walters (Mr. Walters) [Walters’] (Comic relief)- Bubby, bright, always smiling. Doesn’t have that “Detective Edge” to him yet, so he was given to Detective Joan to straighten him out. Despite this, though, and what he has seen so far in the business, Detective Walters prefers to look on the bright side of things.
Appearance: Curly blond hair that never goes back his ears, and is usually styled so that it curls in front of his face.
Plot points:
She could’ve made up those people along with the story of her parents, to have it make more sense in her head. Manipulation began at a young age of five, where she was pulled from daycare to avoid suspicion. Still goes to Church every Sunday. Get saved on Christmas day?
POV: 3rd person, past tense.
Setting: Somewhere in America, probably closer to the Mexican-American border. New Mexico? California- San Diego, El Centro? Year of 2020 in April, probably through December of 2020.
Basically the whole point of me sharing that (AGAIN, you did not have to read it to get the main idea), is the point that it was all me. I offered to write it with him, and I added him to the doc, and all he did was dick around
i mean honestly
He thought I wasn’t taking it seriously until like, halfway through Sara’s father.
