Identity Crisis or Help me to die is a short story I'm writing
Its about a seven year old boy who tries to do every task given to him (may be at school or at home) in an innovative manner. He wants to be different from others. He never takes anyones' help in doing his tasks and takes so much time in thinking than doing.
Compared to him, his friends are different. They finish the work in time, but the work is copied from various sources and will not have anything new. But teachers and fellow students give more importance to these kind of students than the protagonist.
So the boy hates his teachers, his fellow students and neighbors for not giving identity to him.
Also, from his childhood he develops an infatuation towards evil power and ghosts. He thinks that ghosts are omnipotent. So he tries of becoming a ghost and scare every body as part of revenge
But eventually enjoys other challenges before him than becoming a ghost
The story deals about the attitude of present day teachers and parents who kill creativity and innovation in children and develop pessimism in them from childhood onwards
Excerpt:
"Can't you see me...can't you see me like a ghost", Johnny asked Rupert his 15 year old brother .
---------------------
Part 1 -- Acquaintance with ghosts
I always wanted to scare people because they will be under our control...the first movie i have ever watched was "ghost busters" and what i liked in the movie was ghosts and i didn't like the idea of killing the ghosts in the end because it was impossible for me to imagine how the ghosts with such a power can be killed by a barely human...though the power is evil or good i don't mind because its doing something which i like very much.
I have decided to do some research on how ghosts are formed how will they get such a power...i read extensively Gothic books,heard some stories about them.So,ghosts appear when they die. So,i set up a goal,that is something bizarre for others,of becoming a ghost.
But to the fact I always scared by looking at frightening images but it subsided because i thought that it was death frightening for others.There was an abandoned house within the stone throw from ours.Its very old that the painting almost washed out and at some parts of it the bricks revealed.randomly black lines used to be on the walls and the front door was completely covered with thick foliage and also some snakes embraced them.No body dared to go there except me.
Please, Any suggestions to this??? do you think the idea is bizarre??
