How do I start this story?
Question:
Steven is a young college student, who meets the girl of his dreams, and his fantasies. Her name is Jessica. They get married, and within three years, they have a son named Adam, and a set of fraternal twins, a boy named Brendan, and a girl named Crystal. Steven and Crystal have always had a close, loving, affectionate bond. When Crystal is 4, she saves Steven's life. He collapses with appendicitis, and she calls 911 and held his hand until the paramedics arrive. However, Steven starts feeling attracted to Crystal. One night after giving her a bath, he dried her off, the side of his hand touched her private area. Fireworks went off inside him, and he really didn't know what to feel at that point, whether he was sick, or something totally different from what he considered normal.
Steven has always hated child molestors, mainly because when he was nine, he was molested by an older cousin. The cousin moved away to California after being relased from a juvenile facility. He has abandoned his father over a lack of support after he was molested, and he has abandoned his younger brother, both of whom he had a love-hate relationship with as a kid.
Steven and Jessica both taught their children to save themselves for marriage, and as Crystal gets older, at the age of 12, she comes on to Steven. He is torn between taking her offer and sleeping with the girl he'd fantasized about for years beside his wife, or upholding his moral duty as a father. Instead of sleeping with her or turning her down, Steven attempts suicide. After failing, an embarassed Steven wakes up in the hospital with Jessica, supportive as always, by his side. Steven is released from the hospital and Crystal is placed in counseling for obvious psychosexual issues, such as being attracted to your father. Brendan later admits that Crystal had performed oral sex on him several times before the incident with her father, and Jessica begins to resent her beloved daughter. She rethinks her hatred, and tries to accept Crystal, because, after all, Crystal is still and always will be her little girl.
Later, Crystal feels that she may be gay or bisexual. The first person she comes out to is Steven, and he is very supportive and loving, like he always has been. Crystal goes off to college and befriends a lesbian student, who is her assigned roommate. Kelly, the roommate, after a few months tells Crystal about her sexuality and that she is attracted to Crystal, physically. Crystal reveals for the first time that she has met a great guy, named Jason. Jason is a laid-back, easy-going native Hawaiian. He has fallen for Crystal's eccentric personality, and smoking hot body. They begin to fall in love and even make wedding plans. When she brings Jason home for the first time, Steven had nearly adopted him they were so fond of each other after maybe 15 minutes of talking.
One day, Kelly, Crystal's lesbian roommate, comes home to their dorm room, and starts kissing and touching Crystal. Crystal doesn't resist until Kelly puts her tongue inside her and she screams NO!!!!!!! She comes running back to Steven's arms, and has realized that she is definately straight.
Crystal and Jason get married and have their first child, a boy named Patrick. Shortly after getting married, Crystal again comes on to Steven, this time spiking his beer with a sleeping pill and raping him in his car. Steven, now in his 50's and Crystal in her early 30's, then begin a consensual, incestous sexual relationship that results in her becoming pregnant. Jason has no idea, and considering that they had had sex recently, he knows he is the father, thinking they had been monogamous, and is excited about being a dad again.
However, Crystal informs Steven of the news, and Steven is again suicidal. He meets up with Crystal again, and they begin to have sex, given that she is only a few weeks along and is not visibly pregnant. Steven pulls out a gun and attempts to shoot himself, but Crystal smacks the gun out of her hand, preventing him from ending his life.
Crystal then has an abortion, and tells Jason that it was a miscarriage, though Steven knows the truth. The family is devestated, but Steven even more.
One night, Crystal and Steven are having sex when Jessica and Adam walk in on them. Crystal starts crying rape and Jessica leaves Steven. With nothing left to live for, he becomes suicidal again. This time, right in front of Crystal, he pulls the trigger at his temple-and the gun misfires. she tries to take it away from him, but she drops it on the ground, and because of a defective safety, it goes off, piercing Crystal's abdomen, killing her by a ruptured spleen.
Steven is then arrested for murdering Crystal, and after the ballistics clear him of murdering his own daughter, he attempts to reconcile with Jessica. She tries to help him recover. As she makes dinner for the whole family that night, she mistakenly leaves the
gas on. As the story ends, both Steven and Jessica, as well as Adam and Brendan who were staying the night, are found dead the next morning of carbon monoxide poisioning. As the medical examiner walks into the bedroom, finding Steven and Jessica appearing to be sleeping like babies, he finds a note in Crystal's handwriting. It was mysteriously placed over his heart. He picks it up and it reads, "It was all worth it. I love you."
I plan to write this with dialogue and all that jazz, but how do I open this story? I've written like 10 different intros, but what would you go with?
Answer:
I would say start it off with the medical examiner looking at the dead bodies of the family and the letter, when Jason comes in and it then goes in to a flashback with Steven plucking up the courage to ask out Jessica. I hope I helped?
Answer mine, please?
