Before I write anything else, I should say this story was vaguely inspired by the show Supernatural. I've seen a few episodes here and there but never been completely hooked, but one of my friends keeps me up to date on it via Tumblr. This is also slightly dark, as there are references to suicide. I don't usually write in this style, but it was refreshing! Enjoy!

The screaming I hear, is it mine? It's so distant. What's happening to cause it? Why do I feel so numb? But I'm not; I feel a tearing across my chest, or my arms, I can't tell. It's just there, destroying me with each passing second. Just add the infamous white light appears in my fading sight, I'm pulled. Spiritually? No, I am pulled back physically, and roughly. The white light snaps to a darker, more dimly lit room.

"Maggie! Thank god you're alive, we're taking you to the hospital, right Michael?" The man in front of me, I don't recognize him. He looks so familiar, but it's as if I remember him from am old childhood dream.

I fall in and out of consciousness as one of the men, Michael I believe, carries me. Or am I floating? The two men's faces hover above me for mere seconds before I end up consumed in a burning darkness.

"Are you ready?"

"Who's there?" A man's figure appears bright against the black; he sports a pair of grey, feathery wings, an angel.

"My name is Alexander, your friends asked me to find you."

"Friends?" The word tastes sour on my tongue, and sends my body into convulsions.

"Michael and Ian?" Both names make me shudder, but why? They sound so familiar, so comforting, why am I reacting this way?

"What's happening?"

"You're dying, but Michael and Ian don't want that for you. I can help you, but you are the one to make the decision." I stand silent, memories slowly flowing back to me.

"I don't care what happens." Alexander shifts uncomfortably.

"Why?"

"I was committing suicide, and while I'm flattered that that my..." I begin to form the word 'friends' but another convulsion stops me. "That 'they' sent you but I just. don't. care. So make the decision for me."

"Is there one reason why you would want to go back?" I contemplate before answering.

"To start over; I'll say yes if you can erase my life from before."

"Everything?"

"All my memories, my name, I want a clean slate."

"What about your friends?"

"Especially memories of them."

"If you go through with this, you won't be able to go back on it."

"Good." Alexander sighs but nods.

"Alright then, I'll let it be so."

That is all I have written. The only thing I really have planned is that there is a demon that follows 'Maggie' around, & pretty much make her life hellish. I realise this is a bit darker than what I usually write, but it's something I know too well. (Not trying suicide tough, but being depressed & wanting to stay my life over.) Here are the things I need ideas for:

1. Description of Maggie's new persona as well as a new name for her.

2. Description of Michael and Ian, physical and emotional.

3. Ideas for character arcs for all three.

4. A personification of Maggie's demon.

5. Ideas for side characters

6. Ideas for situations

If you have an idea, just comment what number then your idea. I'll be putting a deadline of December fourth. And Please remember to vote! Thanks!
