Agree this sounds an interesting idea. But spell out why an afterlife is important, or getting forgiveness is important – what does he stand to lose if he doesn’t get that forgiveness.
Really interesting logline. I agree with andrewclau, I would like more specifics on why the serial killer is seeking forgiveness–will this help him in the afterlife?
When he has a real life encounter with the Grim Reaper, a serial killer discovers he must be forgiven by his only living victim or burn in Hell for eternity.
I don’t know if that is your idea of the stakes of not being forgiven, just an example.
Looking forward to learning more about your story idea.
Sounds like a really, really intriguing idea. I imagine that the killer needs to achieve “real” forgiveness from this victim so he doesn’t have to go to hell and burn forever more. Just want to know more about the victim. Is the victim hateful of our protagonist? Has the victim become religious? The reason why I ask is if the victim is emotionally past this traumatic event or has even become religious, they could forgive and that would be the end of the story. Also wondering about the killer – is the killer self loathing? Does he kill and feel bad about it?
