So I went on and on about this on Twitter, but Lee Pace looks like he could be my sibling more than my sibling looks like he could be my sibling. And people have told me this, too. It's weird. But it inspired me, so I am going to share with you a plot idea that I came up with based on this. Coming soon from Megan Ayscue! A what if plot!
What if... In a world much like ours, without enough souls to go around for every living person in a world growing faster and faster each day, souls have been split into two (or sometimes even three) as people are reincarnated back into the world. The soul might be split between two persons who share sometimes more than a passing resemblance on opposites sides of the world, never fated to meet or even know of the existence of the other. If these two halves were ever to meet, the consequences would be bad. Sometimes you might see this person in a photo and think you were seeing your twin, occasionally the two halves of a whole will somehow interact with minor problems, but if the two halves were to ever meet and become one whole, the ultimate no-no, the consequences could be deadly not only for them but the entire world.
I don't know yet what the details will be, if there is some ruling force like a Great Creator or Adjustment Bureau or something like that. It could be written for YA (not my ideal area but one I could pursue) or adults. I figured that most of the time the two halves would be the same sex, but clearly there could be opposites involved. And yes, I find it rather weird that people saying we looked alike could inspire this. And for those wanting to know, my own brother is blonde haired and has much lighter eyes than I do (more blue blue while mine are blue gray).
Any comments?
