Character: Butterfly Hunter Environment: Haunted house Prop: Catapult

After Phil Told me that the word Butterfly in Greek meant Soul I decided to do a bit more research as I realized we were not restricted to the face meanings of the words we are given, and we can interpret them in different ways. I thought Id try to research the meaning of a Butterfly a bit more as I didnt just want to take the idea Phil had given me and use that. I thought Id try and see if I could use that idea in a bit of a different way. As much research as I have done on butterflies they all say the same thing that the butterfly represents the soul, joy, happiness and resurrection. So taking the Idea Phil has given me Im going to try and edit it a little bit to come up with my new story.

IDEA 2
Butterflies are good souls, are very rare and can only be found in a few places. They have very powerful properties and to catch one you will gain unimaginable powers. However capturing one or harming one is a terrible crime against nature. My character is one of the few who dare to try and capture these rare creatures, he lusts after power and has spent most of his life trying to capture one. Using a catapult, a specially designed contraption that catches the butterfly unharmed. After quite a few years of research and failure he comes across a house, most say its haunted but thats only due to the large amount of souls that rest there. He decides to go there to catch one of these souls, he enters the house and its quiet and eerie, quite dark, he sees a small light in the distance walks towards it expecting to find his Prize. Instead he find this large darkness thats emitting a small faint glow that he was attracted to, as it moves the whole house seems to move. Terrified now he starts to run screaming falling all over the place with the creature chasing him. The whole house seems to come alive, he loses his soul catcher and manages to scramble his way outside.

He enters the house its dark except for a few faint glows in other rooms. Excited he pursues one of the lights and runs into the room. Right in front of him is prize, carefully bringing out the catapult he aims and fires. To his excitement and astonishment he successfully captures the soul. Distracted by his excitement momentarily he doesnt notice the whole house start to move and shake. Only a thundering roar breaks his trance like state. All excitement gone he realizes the whole house has come alive, now terrified he tries to escape clutching his prize tightly to his chest. Every part of the house has come alive and he ends up running through a maze of corridors and rooms that werent there before. He eventually finds the door to the outside and rushes towards it but it never comes any closer. Becoming tired and increasingly more terrified he trips and loses his catapult which contains the butterfly soul, he tries to scrabble after it but somehow stumbles out the front door into the morning light. Falling to the ground panting he looks back at the small house all calm and serein now panting with sweat dripping off his face.

IDEA 4

My character is your usual ghost buster he hunts escaped pesky souls and puts them back in their own world with the use of a special contraption that captures the souls and uses a small black hole to suck them back into their own world. The souls take the form of a butterfly in our world. Hes in a new area today after getting a call for a possible escaped soul that was causing havoc in an abandoned house at the end of the street. The abandoned house was more of a mansion a tall dark and imposing structure that just terrified him. Nervously poking his head in to the house he slowly edges his way in. Its quite dark with the moon filtering in from broken or open windows. He starts to climb the stairs and sees a faint glow from one of the rooms at the top, moving towards it he enters the room right in the middle is the pesky soul the destruction it had caused in the room quite evident. Slowly aiming his catapult he fires and successfully captures the soul. Pleased with himself he turns to leave and gets halfway down the stairs before he realises his catapult is shacking and suddenly bursts open throwing him down the stairs. Slightly dazed he sees what used to be a small butterfly soul rise as a terrible dark creature that brings the whole house to life, he scrabbles to his feet runs he ends up running through a maze of corridors and rooms that werent there before. He eventually finds the door to the outside and rushes towards it but it never comes any closer. Becoming tired and increasingly more terrified he trips and loses his balance, now crawling he manages to stumbles out the front door into the morning light. Falling to the ground panting he looks back at the small house all calm and serein, now panting with sweat dripping off his face.
