i had this idea for a short story, kind of a darker version of "it's a wonderful life".

i've written most of it, but i got a bit stuck towards the end, so i figured i'd start transcribing and rewriting it in the hope that things would just fall into place.

it didn't, and the usual crappy first draft turned out to be even more crappy than usual. so i went for a rummage on the internet, hoping to uncover maybe a script or a good outline of "it's a wonderful life" just for a helping hand. i found one here

also found this, a webring devoted to the movie. A F**KING WEBRING.

take off, nuke them from orbit. it's the only way to be sure.
