No-Name-Narrative





Construct a narrative outline without a protagonist and with multiple characters, involving a journey without an outer transformation. What would the story look like?

I'd place a group - three or four max - in an elevator; trapped in a space where it would capture all personalities in a locked-box scenario which I'd contend to create.This scene would evoke a series of enraptured interactions befitting to the unfolding event of a daily struggle to move on and out of one circumstance to the next. 


I'd utilise all skills and or conversation starters, serious points of character revelation, and even flashback in differing perspectives to give this scene a built-up and solid foundation to create tension and anxiety blockades to stage a full-frontal foursome trying to overcome a shared obstacle. 


This type of setting encumbers them to react in virtually distinctive physical characteristics, shaping the encounter through mannerisms, social mores and contextual misunderstandings explored in a tightly confined situation.


A comedy of errors, if you will, would ensue gently navigating the terrain of characters' elaborate wishes and desires to fulfil in a delightful realism with each leading character possessing strong perspectives. The characters' accentuated humour intentionally designed to create conflict, drama, and disunity as they each aspire to reach significant and unique outcomes to their shared present challenge.
