The Lady in White

The Lady in White
Anya (who played the Lady in White in the introductory segment) is going to do the main scenario development for the story.  But I am imagining the title comes from a local legend that tells of a jilted bride who threw herself off the bridge years ago and is still seem sometimes at night walking on the bridge, looking for her lost lover.  

What I think we might do with this is reverse it.  Maybe start with this story being told.  The bridge, however, remembers the true story.  Meaning flashbacks, I guess.  I don’t think we are up to distance dialogue yet.  But maybe we can handle monologue.  Stream of consciousness.  I have a feeling Anya could handle that and send me the file.  I could put in the audio strip I make.  

She was not jilted.  She turned him down.  (Think of some reasons.  And not just that he was currently unfaithful.  Maybe not even something that shows him as  not bad, just wrong for her.)   She does not jump off the bridge.  She meets her crisis here and faces it down.  She goes on (married or unmarried?) to a successful life.  (I leave the hard parts to Anya.)  But, by the way, her name was Calleta.  Where have we heard that name before?   We probable close with a sign saying “Thank you for visiting Calleta.”  

But this is just my idea.  I don’t mind if we dump it.  Ideas are easy.  It is the doing that gets tough
