Who would have thought that these two young lovers would find a different ending - this ending: It won't come as a surprise if I said two tragic passings happened in this house. You do have a haunting, an intellectual energy that won't stop fighting to be heard, but there's another power, an element of nature, like a catastrophic storm premeditating its course. I think this second energy lost its heart and soul a long time ago. It think it's ready to rip out someone else's.
1950s. Paris. Two people fall in love. And fall out tragically. Fifty years later, they cry for help from beyond. It's 2008. Toronto. This is Ben's time to uncover his home's secrets, to find justice in a way against anomalous terrorists he doesn't understand.

A great story idea is everything - memorable characters are everything else. When writing your novella or novel, go deep into their genealogy, talk to them, walk among them.
