Darkness Falls

General: Freestyle Brainstorm, Round 2 (DF)

1. What if Rally has to go through this process of reeducating himself as a painter, but completely alone? What if Jessie has "had enough" and doesn't want a handicapped boyfriend? "It was nice while it lasted, but see ya. 'Bye!"

2. What if blindness comes more slowly to Rally? Instead of weeks, the downturn is years long? He starts to lose his edge as a graphic artist, and ultimately loses his career, before he loses his sight. Could this lead to #1 and/or #3?

3. What if it's not really possible to learn to paint as a blind man? What if there are way too many obstacles to the process?

4. What if collaborative painting is discredited from being his own work? "Jessie was your 'eyes.' Ergo, you didn't actually paint the canvas by yourself."

5. It is so hard for me to believe that a gifted person has to sit in a chair and slowly rot until death. I recently saw a video of a young mother with no arms, taking care of her baby and even driving a car with her bare feet.

6. What if a person can lose one sense and compensate for it with all the others to show amazing skill to the world?

7. What if Rally changes disciplines from painting to pottery? This skill seems to lend itself more easily to tactile, rather than visual pursuits.
