Final draught of creative writing to be handed in on Monday. So my lovelies, here is my last favour to ask from anyone who feels like it for a while:
Overview: “Welcome to the Midnight Support Group. It’s the most fucked up dream you’ll ever have, but it’ll save your sanity.”
Alice, 20, had her whole life planned; the place at university, the tight-knit group of friends, the long-term boyfriend.
39-year-old ex-Oxford Professor David thought he loved his life. Tipped to be the Next Big Marlowe Authority, he spent his days absorbed in the academic world beneath the city’s famous spires.
Under normal circumstances, neither would come across the other. But that was before they were diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
Now, while Alice tries to put on a brave face to save her Mother from the pain she suffered watching her father go through the same degenerative process, David seems unable to accept the limitations place on his life. That is, until he and Alice’s dreams take them to the same place. A place where they can talk, breathe, live like anybody else. A place called The Midnight Support Group.
The three/four extracts here all take place in the dream world of The Midnight Support Group. Following Alice and David from their first meeting to their final deaths, they would take it in turns to narrate both their real and dream-lives. While David’s degeneration would seem quicker, ultimately it would be Alice who first died, the Prologue technically from the end of the story, narrating their final meeting and her death. David’s epilogue takes place about five months after this. [The second extract describes their first meeting in the ‘Dream World’] and the third takes place about half-way through the story, describing one of the many ways in which the Support Group forces them to confront their past and inevitable futures.
( The Midnight Support Group )
OR option two. Get rid of 'part two' above (the bit where the meet for the first time) and replace with
( In Winter Wonderland )
So yeah, if you have a lot of spare time and feel like doing me a massive favour... Please help!!
