It’s a story about an ordinary person with extraordinary abilities. Whatever he writes, it happens within 24 hours. It begins with the man waking up in a dark room, the only light coming from a projector someone high up on the ceiling, illuminating into a blank space in front of him. It’s an empty notebook. Our hero knows what he has to do. The people who locked him here and chained him to the floor want to use him, make him write and accomplish their wishes.
Some random questions:
How limited is his power? What can he produce with this writing? Is it only concrete things, or anything at all he imagines? I think it’s a good idea to have some sort of limit because otherwise he’d go like “WORLD PEACE, NO MORE VIOLENCE” and it would happen, just like that. Additionally, there may be some “penalties” for using the power. Maybe he gets a headache or goes blind and his writing hand goes numb for some time?
Who are the people who got him? Are they a criminal group, an individual or the government? What happened to his family? How were his wife and daughter killed? What lies beneath the dark? How was his normal life like before he discovered this ability? Maybe he ocassionally got sudden urges to write a story when he was a kid, maybe he tried once but there was some secret to it, so nothing came true? “If I concentrate really hard and apply some pressure, a buzzing sound in his head, things I write come true. I can wish for anything as long as it exists and within 24 hours it appears exactly where I want it. Could be money, could be a truck full of lollipops, damn, it could even be weapons of mass destruction. It’s not safe to use my ability. I should never tell anyone about it.”
