WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE "IF I STAY" BOOK / MOVIE.
Hey guys. I've been thinking about writing a story similar to the "If I Stay" novel / movie. I loved the idea of the "If I Stay" book / movie but I feel like there could've been more done with it as the story just kinda felt flat. :/
If you're not familiar with the "If I Stay" book / movie, it's about a girl who falls into a coma after getting into a car accident in which her parents and brother die. The girl is left outside of her body, like a ghost, and then has to decide whether she wants to live or die.
Basically, I wanted to take that same idea of having the main character be in a coma and have to choose life or death but I wanted to do more with the plot to make it a little less boring. I was thinking of adding a Grim Reaper type character that explains the situation and offers the main character advice and such but I can't think of much more use for that character.
I also need a reason for the main character to not immediately choose to live and I didn't really want to use the same "everyone in the car died but me" part as in "If I Stay". Why would a generally happy person with a good life not immediately choose to live? That's the biggest question I can't figure out.
Anyone have some ideas they want to throw at me? I would appreciate it. razz
Btw, this story is only for fun.
