Friday, October 10, 2008 This is a copy of the quick jot of my ideas on the angel story I’m letting bubble up in my subconscious. It’s formatted like a letter. The X’s are placeholders for filling in later. This is a letter by the guy who caught an angel in the act of painfully sprouting wings in an alley behind a bar. I want this guy who’s telling the story to be highly intelligent and frustrated because he’s already tried to inform the more established news and scientific publications and specialists about his encounter(s), but of course they thought he was a nutter and the story all a hoax. So he’s resorted to the last resort to get his news out. He’s sending this to a magazine like National Enquirer (a gossip / rumor mag that runs stories of alien babies etc LOL). You’ll see that I’ve come to these thoughts after retyping my draft (I wrote it by hand one night about 3am), so some things will of course change. Could I maintain a whole book of this guy following around the angels to catch them, study them, reveal them to the world? He’d become an angel fanatic, maybe go a little bit crazy as the book wears on, doubting himself off and on, (maybe his best friend or close relative sees his house with all the angel sightings notes, newspaper articles on whatever, and pictures pasted all over his office walls, they want to put him in a loony bin), but somehow in the end, he’d finally meet up with one face to face, one that has come to terms with his or her own angel-ness (I want to show their (the angels) struggles too, to deal with this unwanted aberration to their body, unwanted and uncontrollable.). I don’t know if this will be one angel he tracks or more than one, but I’m thinking not too many, because I’d need to develop the story of the angel thru his observations and letters to the editor of this sensationalist rag (magazine). I think this would make a good series. The concern is developing the story from his point of view, not the angel(s) and keeping it interesting. I’ll have to see how that goes as I write it I guess. Anyway, let me know what you think J. I’ll have more on it later I’m sure as I’m all excited about this new story. Alley ================= Date: To: From: Carson “Jargon” Delacort III Subject: Unusual Sighting Dear Mr. Xxx, Please find enclosed an image of a woman I shot with my Nikon XX camera last night in the alley behind Red’s Bar. Although grainy and lacking proper lighting, I believe this image validates the rumors of angels on earth. Be they dark or light, I cannot say, for the film only captures the physical and from that frozen celluloid moment, we must infer an entire history of these beings as part human and part something else. At this point, however, it is not the history of these winged beings that concerns me as much as their presence and their purpose. Are they good beings or bad? Are they beings at all, or mere apertures of light and shade spiced with our imagination? That, Dear Mr. XXX, is my quest – to seek the truth of these seemingly miraculous beings. I’m asking you, as our most popular expert on extreme beings on earth, if one who’s only studied a thing and never experienced it, as you stated in a recent article, can be an expert on anything, I am enclosing a small souvenir you may consider it a field sample for your personal effects (personal study?). And I do mean to ask you to keep this personal, between you and myself only, until we have irrefutable proof one way or the other. Perhaps this could be a hoax. This could also be Darwin on drugs. But whatever our results, we must maintain self-sufficiency and discretion in all aspects of our research and results until which time we feel we’ve gathered sufficient evidence to present to the xxx council. (scientific alien council thing) I thank you for your patience. If you are still in doubt, test the DNA on the section of quilt. You may find it remarkably relative. Sincerely, Carson Jargon Delacort, III (Then I’d go into this guy’s POV, Carson “Jargon” Delacort, and describe the pictures and the scene he’s sending the editor.) |
