Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, I didn't get much on it yet... but I was wondering what you guys thought of it so far. Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas in the previous forum. I read all the advise and ideas many times till I came up with this. I can think of a title later (I'm the worst at making titles sweatdrop ) First, do you guys think it will work out?

I think you have a solid idea here, but it honestly doesn''t feel much like a horror story at all, or even a thriller. Because a murder in itself is not necessarily all that shocking in stories these days (you can probably see at least 5 everyday on daytime soaps razz ), it feels more like you''re crafting the drama of Jill and the family discovering Henry''s alternate lifestyle to which they were oblivious of. I think this can make a good parallel to a horror story, much in the way the MC''s character in Silent Hill 2 tries to discover the mystery behind his own dead spouse, but you need more elements to set it in the horror category.
