Chamber #3: The Plot

When I began the story, I needed a connecting point that begins the story and connects everything together. I already knew I was going to write six books to tell this tale with the six book being the end of the story. However, I needed a device to connect everything together. And what brings people together more often than anything else?

Death.

The opening scene has three individuals pointing their guns at each other while a fourth individual, a friend to all three of them, lies dead on the ground in a pool of blood. The trust between the friends is broken because one of their own is dead. Nobody knows who fired the fatal shot, but anger is clouding their judgement. They're angry, frustrated, and not thinking clearly, and any sudden move from any of them could lead to a bloody massacre without anyone finding out anything.

And I won't even reveal who the killer and the victim are until the end of the fifth story. I plan on giving all four characters perspective and their own insights about their lives up until the moment one of them died. The victim also has his or her perspective about their lives up to the final moment of their life.

I know it may sound gruesome, but this story could be fun. I know who dies. I know who the murderer is. I know why he or she murdered the victim. This is the whole reason I wanted to tell this story in a novel form rather than a comic form.
