Random Ideas

Just throwing these out there as possible things you may or may not see in my novel:

A clockwork city
A scene of torture with the male lead held in place and cut with thousands of narrow devices that look like spiderlegs
A beach scene with the male and female lead actually enjoying themselves for once
Above scene set in a forest
A subway
A smorgasbord in a bedroom

Also, time for some lyrics (unfortunately, you don't get to hear the blood-curdling screams placed at various intervals throughout the song, but I know the lyrics are correct, as they come from the band's website):

Gogol Bordello - I Would Never Wanna Be Young Again

By the desperate 'n' confused
Emotion of the youth
I was brought to Crisis Island
Where, after getting checked for fleas
And barricades of embassies,
I was sculpted to be overworked and silent

But since the early age
I broke out of the cage
And learned how to make a marching drum from fish can
And I knew I'd run away
So without further delay
I said, "Two tears in a bucket, motherfuck it!"

And it seems like I ran and ran
Through the garbage and quicksand
And after getting checked for fleas
And barricades of embassies,
I never, never, never wanna be young again!

But sudden wind stole my hat
And I went on chasing it
Before I was just another burned-out carnie
Every freak on every day lives their life one certain way
And that way, they know nothing but a birthright

But since the early age
I broke out of the cage
And learned how to make marching drum from fish can
And I knew I'd run away
So without further delay
I said, "Two tears in a bucket, motherfuck it!"

And it seems like I ran and ran
Through the garbage and quicksand
And after getting checked for fleas
And barricades of embassies,
I never, never, never wanna be young again!

And it seems like I ran and ran
Through the garbage and quicksand
And after getting checked for fleas
And barricades of embassies,
I never, never, never wanna be young again!
