hey guys!
I recently came up with something.
I'm writing the screenplay for an amateur movie project for a friend of mine, and it's called Fall (enter shameless advertising for a stupid project).
Anyway, it's a very complex tale in which the main character goes on a quest to find his way out of the world in which he just woke up. Having fading memories of a world similar to our own, maybe even our own earth... he now lies in a forest with only a ruin of his own apartment and motorcycle...
The more he uncovers, the more the boundaries between dreams, afterlife or just being characters in a story fade, existensialism and the will to live are heavily explored and the ending of the tale is just as confusing as it is confronting... Much like the way.
And though it resembles parts of the way, it's very different at that.
Yet I wrote up things like the seams of the worlds and the world's navel.
And with writing that, somehow I might have an answer or something to ponder about...
In Fall, the seams of the world are similar to the end of the way. The seams are where two parts of land end and meet eachother, with a small but very very deep chasm running trough them, from one side of the horizon to the other (so probably all around Fall). These chasms can be jumped over, but they are as illusive as they are in fact real. None actually know where they are, for they tend to 'move' often.
Now what's the deal with them? When a new 'character' enters Fall, a part of his own memories and life take form in a very physical way, and it is sewn into the existing world as an 'addition'. Much like a part of cloth being sewn into a pair of pants to make it larger... That's why there's no 'exact' location of the seams in the first place.
Maybe the end of the way is something ... 'similar'?
Might be stupid and seem like ripoff to some of you, but I can assure you all, that the story is totally different and a lot more gory and cynical then the way... (also a lot more 'earth' like, not running around with swords and magic and stuff.)
So feel free to ponder or just flame this post as usual
