SToRYSPACE: The Hanging – Crossing Borders
This story has been deciding its own tone and it appears to have a rather dark sense of humor.
Imagine a husband coming home to find his wife hanging from a chandelier in their bedroom. He calls for help, uprights the chair she’s kicked away and steps up to desperately try to get her down. He’s got one arm around his wife and with the other is trying to untie the rope. He loses his balance.
Now lots of things could happen, and some things will never be really funny, but there are so many different ways to handle this and the tone of the narrative, the voice, is what ultimately decides.
