His=his? Is he human? adult? male? The sibling and two others are all H?A?M/F? Is gender relevant? Did his curiosity result in him asking a question or questions? Going somewhere forbidden? Manipulating an object in a novel way? Performing an unusual action? Seeing something he shouldn't have? Or hearing/overhearing something? |

This doesn't have anything to do with Final Destination, does it? Or any other horror movie? This could get difficult to keep track of, so let's try this. He will be Larry, his gender-irrelevant sibling will be Kathy, the female other will be Barbara, and the male other will be Wendell. Now then (sorry this is tedious)... was the one he knew Barbara? or Wendell? Was the one who died by impact Kathy? Barbara? or Wendell? Was the one who died by piercing Kathy? Barbara? or Wendell? Did the impact and the piercing come from a gun and a knife respectively? Was the "other" death from a weapon? Were all three deaths murders? Were any of them accidental? suicides? natural? Were they motivated by revenge? Trying to keep something quiet? Did Larry directly kill any of them? |

Is Larry an infant? toddler? young child (4-8)? older child (9-12)? teen? Is Larry's sister younger? older? his twin? Was the accidental death Kathy? or Barbara? Did Kathy die of disease? starvation? lack of water? Was Barbara hit by a vehicle? a weapon? an object that fell on her? Were the two who were murdered both murdered by the same person/group of people? At the same time? In the same place? Did Larry witness the murderer(s) doing something? something illegal? immoral? embarassing? Did he see the result of some action on their part? Did he see an object whose existence they didn't wish to be known? |

So Wendell and Barbara were both killed out of revenge. Revenge on Larry? For what he'd seen? Or also for saying something about it? Doing something about it? Did the murderer know that Larry didn't know Wendell? Did the murderer know Wendell? Did Barbara know Wendell? Was Wendell present when Larry witnessed whatever it was? Is Barbara Larry's mother? other female relative? friend? classmate? teacher? babysitter? Is Kathy an infant? Who died because there was no longer anyone to take care of her? Did Larry see a living person? a dead person? a living non-human? a dead non-human? an inanimate object? an event? was the murderer present when he saw it? was the murderer responsible for what he saw? did the murderer suffer ill consequences as a result of him seeing it? did he know the murderer before seeing it? relevant how much time passes between him seeing it and the murders? |

Is the murderer's gender relevant? Male? Female? Is the murderer his father? adoptive parent? other relative? friend? classmate? teacher? babysitter? someone he's only met a few times? barbara's significant other? Is Wendell Barbara's friend? coworker? husband? lover? baby daddy? relative? someone who provides a service? If neither Wendell nor the murderer is Larry's father, then is Larry's father alive at the end of the story? Does he play a significant role (so many characters!)? Are he and Barbara married? When Larry saw this event, was he at home? at school? in a public place? in a vehicle? Relevant who Larry said something to? Kathy? Barbara? Wendell? the murderer? his father? *sigh* someone else? When I ask if the murders were a way of taking revenge on Larry, I mean, was the murderer trying to punish Larry for seeing it? and/or talking about it? Relevant why he/she didn't kill Larry? |

Okay, taking a stab here... Larry's a curious kid, and one day he hears interesting noises coming from Mommy's bedroom. He opens the door and sees Barbara and Wendell doing *something*. He wants to know what they're doing, but they look busy, so naturally when Daddy gets home, he asks why Mommy was on top of that man. Dad, furious, goes into the kitchen and bludgeons Barbara to death then and there. The next time he sees Wendell, he stabs him. Meanwhile, everyone has forgotten all about poor Kathy, and Dad is so preoccupied with his revenge that he forgets to feed her, so she starves to death. Any of this on track? I have a sneaking suspicion there's more to the Kathy part of the story. Relevant where Kathy was when the story was taking place? At school/daycare? In her bedroom? a playroom? kitchen? at a relative or babysitter's house? |
