This document presents two initial ideas for recreations of an original novel: 1. "Lost Pride" is set in locked-down London where a group of young adults in a flat try to escape the city but face challenges testing their friendships. 2. "Talk of the Dead" is set in a rural street where neighbors indulge in community events until one neighbor is mysteriously screamed, with the culprit possibly being human or something different. Both ideas involve murder or danger and discovering the culprit, though one deals with a spreading disease and escape from the city while the other involves a single tragic rural incident.
