Comment on Ask HN: Burning idea for a story you've always wanted written?parent

Comments

1. A story about a rich man who, afraid he will go to hell, hires a spiritual "coyote" [0] to smuggle him into heaven.

2. Legion of Creation: I read a 2009 Wired review [1] of the films (unrelated) Legion [2] and Creation [3]. Not realizing the article was reviewing two separate films, I thought it was describing a single film about an angry God sending an army of angels to assassinate Charles Darwin and cover up his theory of evolution. It sounded like a more interesting film than either Legion or Creation, so I imagined a mashup called Legion of Creation. :)

1. sounds extremely interesting for a short-story. Maybe, 8vll try my hand at it one of these days...

2. sounds hilarious and difficult, especially given that I am not all that well-versed in Biblical mythology. Maybe with Indian mythology...

Haven't seen either of the films you mentioned, but they sound very intriguing. Will check them out one of these days, thanks! :-)
