Interesting Characters and Two Ideas…

The two Ideas I plan to explore are:

10. Sometime a small sacrifice can make life better for everyone.A small act of kindness can change someone’s life.  

My Character discovers that he has a job to do. He is selfish and doesn’t want to the job he was made for. He then discover what his sacrifice would do. That he task is the last step in creating a planet and all sorts of new life. He decides he could live a pointless existence or grant life to so many other things. He decides to grant life.

6. Never underestimate the value of what you have. You don’t know what you have till you loose it.

 The character has something. He hates this thing and tries desperately to ignore it and  to get rid of it. The character doesn’t want anything to do with it. Then he gets his wish and the object gets away from him.  He then realizes the mistake he has made as it reveals  its true nature.
