so here's my story:
Title: Paradox
a man wakes up, with no memory of his past or even who he is. all he remembers is a cruel man, a ravishing feeling of hate towards him, and a pair of loathing eyes that frighten him beyond belief. he is in a room with a large machine, and an older man who is destroying it, hacking at it with whatever he can get at. the older man sees that he is awake, and comes toward him. the man sees an insanity in the other's eyes, and (in self-defence) kills the man with a knife that was beside him. the older man says something about irony, then dies. a child is born in a nearby town.
fourteen years later, focus is on the boy. his life, as well as the lives of everyone in his town and other towns, have been made misrible by the man from the start and his desparation to repair the strange machine. when his parents die in a way that is somehow the man's fault, the boy decides enough is enough. he starts a rebellion against the man.
in the end, the boy and the man face off, the machine semi-functioning, making a glowing orb of light that is pulling the building apart (think spider-man 2 or TFA space bridge). the man finally pins the boy, and is about to kill him when his memory rushes back. he realizes the cruel man he remembered was him, the cruel, loathing eyes were his own, at this moment. and the hate he had felt was the same one this boy directed at him. he is this boy, or at least was him. filled with horror that he had become his own worst enemy, he stumbles back, into the glowing orb, which envelops the boy soon after.
the man arrives in the past, beside his machine. filled with an insane need to destroy the wretched thing, he starts attacking it with whatever he can find. there is a sound as the boy (now a man, the time-machine worked differently on him) arrives. the man stumbles toward him, needing to warn him against his future. the boy (confused and scared) stabs him with a nearby knife. filled with horrifying irony, the man dies, and he is born in a nearby town, as his middle self examines the crippled time-machine.
alright, i need a little help with this.
1. how is the man evil? i need something he can do that's both realistic and will ruin the lives of the surrounding areas. it also will have to make peoplw afraid to oppose him.
2. the boy needs people to rebel with him, preferably two or three, but who? any ideas?
3. the man needs a name, an evil one, possibly ironic, that would preferibly be included in the oldest version's statement of irony.
4. random plot blanks. ALL IDEAS ARE OPEN!!!!
please help, even small suggestions can help!!!
