Deeper Meaning

I'm always trying to find amazing new concepts and incredibly deep meanings to put into my stories, but in taking a step back, I found something. My story I have right now isn't about the science. It isn't about getting the audience to understand memory and how it works.

It's about the love of parents and children. Wendy's mom sacrificed her for an experiment, and now all Wendy wants is to know that she loved her. Nikki is so concerned about Wendy that all Jenn wants to know is that she's loved too. That's the beauty of Jenn's character. She's not just there to be a bitch. She wants attention, because deep down, she's been living with an 8 year old genius and no matter what she does, she feels like she can't get Nikki's attention. AND furthermore, Corryn is even struggling with the parent acceptance. In her mind, her father is a bastard, but all she really wanted was to be loved. They say there's nothing stronger than a parent's love for their child. But what happens when children question that love? How far will they go to make sure it's there?

Corryn is alive in this draft. Wendy finds out in the midpoint, and her drive is to find out why Corryn did what she did. And because Jenn can sympathize with this intense need to find acceptance from a parent, Jenn comes around and helps her. Sadie is gone. Ardon is more so the bad guy who only had one passion...to finish the experiment. Corryn abandoned the experiment when she realized what she did, but Ardon kept going, and now that he has Wendy, there's hope again for him.
