So let's see what nasty things I can subject poor Vince to ;)
1. His son could go missing?
Journey - Quest - Monsters - Tragedy (depending on the outcome) - Rags to Riches (or rather Riches to Rags) depending on what it takes to get his son back.
2. His daughter could be kidnapped?
Exactly the same as No 1 above
3. His wife has an affair?
Journey - Quest (to get her back) - Monster (the other man) - Tragedy (depending on the outcome)
4. Something happens with the business and he ends up bankrupt?
Riches to Rags - Journey - Quest - Rebirth - Tragedy (depending on the outcome)
5. He's falsely accused of murder?
The Siege - Monsters - Quest - Journey
6. He does actually commit murder?
Strangely enough exactly the same as No 5 above.... It doesn't really matter if he did it or not lol
7. He has an affair?
Tragedy - Riches to Rags
8. His secretary accuses him of rape?
The Siege - Monsters - Quest - Tragedy (depending on the outcome)
9. He's blackmailed?
Riches to Rags - Monsters - Quest - Tragedy (depending on the outcome)
10. A long lost child (he fathered on a one night stand) turns up out of the blue.
Journey - Rebirth - Monster (possibly, depending on how he sees it) - Tragedy (depending on the outcome)
Ok.....now which one do I write? ;)
I always have a hard time making bad things happen to my characters, and even a harder time making my characters do bad things.
