This thread is about not one or two people, but rather a large group of people who encountered a horrifying event where they survive, but what they’ve seen and witnessed is something that has left them unable to tell a soul. This causes the people to bring this to their graves and nobody else will know anything unless they do a crap ton of research.
My Turn:
Shhh
This was/still is the idea for the events pertaining to the whole Pillar Fall incident that I was planning to work on.
There was a big flash then gigantic yet massively tall pillars came from nowhere. Yet it was during the flash that a select few people witnessed something that NOBODY else was able to see which scared the hell out of them, that they died never stating a word to anyone.
Yet my goal was to have a great war that was stopped as a result of the Pillar Fall and how many remembered that, but after was a major blur except for the few that remembers what they’ve seen during the great flash.
To make it clearer, these people might have shared what they witnessed to a select few which has the characters going on an adventure to unravel the truth.
This event can be horrifying to a large group or small group, but it has to be more than two or even three people who endured the same thing, but said nothing about it.
It could be a murder or some supernatural event of some kind, it just has to been horrifying and something that people who haven’t encountered it want to unravel and learn the truth about it.
There can be reasons why they don’t reveal what happened to them which could be honestly fear and/or pure insanity. Regardless of what it was, it terrified them to the point that they refused to share.
Let’s talk about our own versions of that in our stories.
Thoughts and feelings?
NOTE: I will allow you to put down these group of people that caused it to happen and were so scared by it that they refused to say anything.
