I think I better warn you before reading, I have a a possible plot idea for Otis and Gideon and it’s a dark one, so please be warned.
Ok, if im this far I must be invested in this story and over night I have been think a lot about this story.
May main thoughts have been is there a link between Otis and Gideon.
The first thoughts were that they are father and son, but I don’t think Gideon is interested in women, I had another thought but it must’ve been a good one as I don’t remember it this morning.
Then during my night time, I had a darker thought, which disturbed me, just because I went so dark with it.
What if Gideon was using women who had issues, like with drink, drugs and mental health problems or gave them drugs to subdue them to have children form him to groom.
I know this thought is too dark even for a story plot.
Otis’s mother got out with her son some how, found place in the middle of nowhere, and locked her son up so he couldn’t be found, telling him not to make a sound. She did everything she could to keep him safe only to be found by Gideon and so she set the place on fire, she would rather they die than live a life with Gideon.
Gideon escapes with his body disfigurements, and Otis with his scars.
I know this isn’t anywhere near where this story is going and it’s pretty dark idea but I hope this is taken as a massive compliment as the writing has played a part in my thoughts process.
I hope I haven’t over shared or distressed anyone.
