Snypiuer Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Premise: Being Santa is a curse. Every year, on December 24, a new person awakes, as Santa at the North Pole. Carolers are creepy, evil, automaton-like creatures that follow and watch Santa, non-stop, 24-hours a day. Elves are jailers/torturers keeping Santa captive and working. Santa is forced to read and reread a list of every child on Earth that enumerates every single good and/or misdeed each, individual, child has committed in the year. Santa then has to decide, based on a child's good and/or misdeeds, whether the child should be labeled as naughty or nice. Santa is also forced to read every letter to Santa for that year and fill out every present's gift tag accordingly. Santa is forced to deliver all the presents while being exposed to every possible weather condition. Not to mention every other big or little "Christmas Duty" expected of Santa. It is only one day and night, 24 hours, that a victim is forced to be Santa but, while at the North Pole and while delivering presents, time in the outside world virtually stands still - Depending on the Santa, it could take decades, even centuries, to complete everything. Also, since time only VIRTUALLY stands still, the elves are task masters, relentlessly driving the Santa, in order to ensure each and every task is fulfilled. Santa isn't allowed ANY rest and the only food and drink there is, is milk, cookies and candy canes. Woe to anyone unable to complete Santa's duties, even more so for any Santa attempting to escape said duties. Finally, this year, December 24, you awake, as Santa at the North Pole . . . carolers stand outside your window, singing . . . watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Crow Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Kind of makes me think of that Tim Allen santa movie. With that said it inspired me in two completely diffrent directions. One very dark, and one with a good ending. And I think I know how to combine them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snypiuer Posted December 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 Can't wait! Now that you mention it, it does remind me of the Tim Allen movies, just sinister rather than heartwarming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
