I've had an idea for a short, it's a simple enough one with very few characters and probably very few locations too.
It's Faustian in it's nature, wherein a man sells his soul so he never dies after he begins to reel into depression after the death of his brother.
As he continues to live, in a very short space of time, he begins to lose the ability to feel anything towards those closest to him like his fiancee.
As he begins to become more empty he is driven to madness by his inability to feel for the loss of his brother and he tries anything to feel again, self mutilation, attempted suicide etc.
Along with this, he is haunted by visions of Satan taunting him with Death.
Not entierley sure how it'll end.
Thoughts?
