Hello again

Today as I was driving my girlfriend to school I had an idea for a story, book, movie, video game, or something along those lines. This idea stemmed from a bit of information I have been thinking about for several weeks which I will now share with you.

Dimethyltryptamine or DMT is a natural hallucinogenic compound. It can be found in some plant species (certain religions use these plants to make a hallucinogenic tea that they drink for religious practices) but the compound is also found in human and other mammals. A hypothesis by a Dr. Rick Strassman exists that suggests that the reason for the hallucinations people have during near death experiences are secretions of DMT from the pineal gland. This would explain why many people have near death experiences, as well as the "bright light" that people see when they are dying and slightly lucid enough to describe their visions.

Pretend with me that the hallucinations of people when they die differ depending on the situation in which their deaths occur. For instance if you die of old age, sitting happily in the sunshine, on the porch of your home surrounded by the people you love you see angels, or perhaps are carried away by a winged horse or you simply grow your own wings and fly off into the sky blissfully.

Now imagine what a person might see when they die in a terrible fright or full of anger. (I know this is starting to sound like The Grudge but bear with me) A person who dies in complete fear may see some sort of darker creature coming for them, some shadowy specter of death that they cannot escape. Or someone who died in rage could potentially create a murderous beast within their mind, something with no regard for life or happiness. The embodiment of evil you could say.

So here's the pitch;

Scientists for years have been trying to discover different dimensions or planes of existence. One day a female scientist, whose sister has been killed in a brutal rape and murder, discovers a way to reach one of these dimensions by opening up a portal or a wormhole or something. She comes to find that within the dimension she has discovered reside all the terrible things that people have created in their mind right before they died. These things begin to come back through the portal. They are scary and evil beings that seek to harm or destroy anything that they come in contact with. These beings are mortal and can be harmed by conventional weapons, but they are immensely powerful and feel no fear. They begin to invade our dimension and cause chaos within the world, turning it into an near mirror image of the realm from where they have come, a sort of apocalyptic scenario.

Time goes on and while many people have fallen victim to the monstrosities that have infested the earth, some people have survived and continue to fight the apparitions as best they can. While all this time has passed the scientist responsible for the discovery of the portal has learned that the most powerful of these dark beings is actually a tormented, hateful clone of her dead sister. Not only that, but this evil doppelganger is the reason the portal has remained open for all this time, and the destruction of her meant the destruction of the portal and consequently the continuous flow of these murderous otherworldly creatures. Our heroine has to do battle with many creatures on her way back to the lab to finally confront her sister's soul and close to portal thus saving human kind.

So that's that. I'm sure you can draw parallels with an infinite amount of work that has already been copyrighted. The purpose of posting this idea was simply to bounce it off of you! The consumer! Let me know what you think and stay out of trouble.

...oh yeah, don't fucking steal this you dirty turds!
