quick note to self...

[scottobear]

A person with the occassional ability to read minds gets dosed with some high power amphetimine-riddled drug. He can't sleep, but he finds himself experiencing the thoughts of others who *are* sleeping.

add noir, horror maybe, and season to taste.

also - side note / backstory plot

A conspiracy of Golems. Detectives intercept some strange mail. Written in a deliberate, simple style, the letter smells of clay and earth. The language is 15th century Spanish. It seems to be communication between conspirators. A meeting is being arranged, or perhaps an exchange of some sort. It hints at a spread-out network of men, possibly all members of one estranged family. This should be made to seem more sinister than it actually is...

Ralph has always said that he thinks the worst nightmeres to experience would be those of other people. It would be confusing and surreal b/c you wouldn't know WHY you were afraid, you just WOULD and so....lend to the feeling of helplessness. Cool thought!

yeah... irrational fears feel so rational when they're your own.

EXACTLY! So, ummmmm, what's your irrational fear? Mine is the deep ocean (yeah, I live in Hawaii, shutup.) =)

Well, if it was volcanoes, the ocean, kona coffee and pineapples, I'd wonder what you were doing there.

my irrational fear? hmm...you know, I'm not sure. I think my greatest fear is hurting someone I care about, even if it's an accident.
