Telling Tia about this new story idea made me want to write about it in here and get some opinions.
I'm just gonna paste what I said to her.
(About HBO) well, they have a new series called "Rome" and it's all about what happened back in the day in...Rome. >.> so uh...yeah. and okay, there was this part where this woman was sending her son Octavius to his uncle Julius Caesar in Gaul and Octavius was taking a beautiful white horse with him as a gift to Caesar. Now, okay, I still don't think i've gotten this part down because it's hard to understand them sometimes, but i think she was also offering Octavius as a slave (Octavius is maybe 13 years old)... so that got me remembering an inkling of a story idea that i got while watching this documentary on Tiberius Caesar and how he used to keep young male slaves cuz he was a dirty old man. ANYWAY. this just cinched it. i'm thinking about having a boy (his age is never mentioned, but he IS a boy...not four or anything, though, maybe 13 or 14) who is taken as a slave by the emporer/ruler of the country he lives in. the emporer/ruler guy is just ruthless, he throws his slaves away like they're nothing, he's not very liked, he tortures people, etc etc. he's more of a dictator. anyway, he's like OMGHOTASS when he sees the boy and the boy becomes his favorite slave. well, over the years the boy's hatred for the dictator grows and grows, even though the dictator is starting to fall in what he thinks is love with the boy. i haven't fleshed it all out but there will be a scene where the boy is kidnapped and beaten by his kidnappers. when the dictator finds him, he has the kidnappers tortured and killed before the boy's eyes. the dictator then thinks the boy is going to thank him or whatever, but the boy actually jerks away from him and goes to lie down on his "bed" (it's really just a sheet on the stone floor next to the dictator's bed) and ignores the dictator. but anyway. i don't know how i'll end it, probably with the boy murdering the dictator once he's old enough and then becoming a dictator himself...that's actually just come to me and i think i like it because it's kinda like how abuse only spawns more abuse... hm...but anyway. yeah.
Sorry about the bad grammar and such, but. It's six a.m. and I don't feel like beta'ing my own damn journal. XD;
Opinions welcome!
Oh! And sex will only be implied in this story. I don't intend to write it out like I usually do. Considering that even though I don't mention the boy's actual age, this is still pedophilia and even I have limits...though few and far between... ^^;
