Darkness Falls

Plot: Complications (DF)

1. What if it's not possible for Rally to paint as a blind man?

2. What if losing his sight causes Rally to sink into PTSD or even CPTSD?

3. What if Rally becomes clinically depressed for a period of 6 months to a year, before he learns how to function as a blind man, let alone an artist?

4. What happens to a man whose whole identity was wrapped up in being the world's greatest visual artist? Does he become totally worthless in his own eyes?

5. Right now, Jessie seems to be not much more than Rally's "rubber stamp," and live-in lover. What if Jessie sees herself as more than just a pretty face? What if Jessie wants to be a hairstylist, changing her looks from long straight hair to dreadlocks? What if in her free time, Jessie is an artist in her own right, working with multiple media of threads (sowing), watercolor, sketching, and pottery?

6. Martin Harris & Jeffrey Adams were virtually when Rally Witts' name took second place on the firm's marquee. What kind of subtle and overt opposition could they use to jeopardize Rally's career?

7. Does the firm lose a lucrative contract because Rally misspelled a name or completely left out a piece of artwork that was supposed to be in a client's ad campaign?

8. Nobody's life is perfect, no matter how good we are at our jobs. What quirks and foibles can I give to Rally that might affect his perception, both in-house and in public, leading to a comedy of errors, that complicates his life in short order?

9. What if Rally takes quite a while coming to know the Lord Jesus as his personal Savior? When he is finally saved, he starts to realize that the Lord Jesus is working through all of these problems to make Rally into the man He wants Rally to be.

10. What if Rally's life after going blind is a page out of Job's life with Jessie and Rally's Dad and Mom playing the parts of Job's miserable comforters, until they learn how to help him in the end?
