Question: Question About The Story I'm Writing!? !?
Okay!. The story takes place in rural Germany in the 1940s!. So there's this girl in the Resistance who's been cornered in this house by a crazy Nazi officer!. He's just been shot at by the Resistance, so his face is seriously scarred!. And he's a big narcissist!.
So she's hurt and being chased through this big house by him (he's armed, she's not)!.
I need him to die somehow!. She has a boyfriend, but I don't want him to come in and save her, that would make her too much of a damsel in distress!. NO one should save her!.

I thought maybe he should shoot himself when he sees his scarred face in a mirror, but is that realistic enough!.

Is my idea good, or do guys have anything better!?!?!?!?

Wow, nice story, good imaginations!. I think the officer should trying killing the girl by making her drink this glass of poisonous water and then the girl won't drink it, they both roll to the ground, looking like they're hugging each other too tightly!. Then, her boyfriend!.comes and think they're going out secretly, he jumps out and grabs a sharp knife and trys to kill the officer!. When he thinks he's finished killing the officer, he and his girlfriend starts having a tremendous fight and suddenly, the officer jumps out and grabs the guy's girlfriend, hands holding a knife ready to kill her!. Her boyfriend was suddenly worried and scared!. Then, suddenly the boyfriend remembers this time when he and his girlfriend were playing this game, the girl quickly goes to the right and he will lean forward, trying to get her!. The boy winks and suddenly the girl gets the message, she rolls to the right and bam! her boyfriend kills the officer!.

You can finish the ending off!. I hope this works out great!

Fight scene, going up through the house, she hides, he starts taunting her and scaring her (u know like in a movie) about what he's gona do when he finds her!. He could come into the room she's hiding in just as she'd gone out the other door!. She finds the gun that her father kept in the house if people came to get them!. She goes up behind him silently and can't do it!. He turns round, sees her and pushes her, beginning to taunt her!. The gun in her hand goes off accidentally killing him!. Woah that was fun to think about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Is it realistic enough!? It depends on how narcissistic he really is!. I think it's believable!.

Or maybe in a freak accident, he trips and accidentally shoots himself, say, in the stomach because the safety was off!. Then he just happens to fall in front of a long mirror (I know, not as believable)!. As he is dying, he sees his face in the mirror and his last thoughts are that he should have gotten rid of his unibrow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, depending on how quickly you need him to die!.!.!.his wound could become infected!.!.!.From what you've told me, I can't really see this guy killing himself if/when he sees himself in a mirror!.!.!.it almost seems that this would drive him even more insane!. The best I can come up with is have it be accidental- maybe in his rage, he trips over something!. Or maybe his gun won't go off and then it fires when he tries to fix it because he's in such a hurry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well, super narcissism combined with rage, and pain from wounds!. I could see a good chase through the house until he sees himself in a mirror!. hes so overcome with disbelief at his ruined face he drops the gun!. She comes up and either bashes his head in, or grabs the gun and shoots him!. if it was a movie i would have him look at her crying or something to really make the moment poignant!.
and of course, he could survive and come back later as a main villein!.
The Scarred Man, Dun, Dun, DUhhhWww@QuestionHome@Com

i think that that's great!.!.!. But make sure you add a little Action to it at least! Like a nice grand chase (i don'tt mean a LONG~ chase either but a grand one with action and excitment!.!.!. and!.!.!. and!.!.!. blah blah blah! i'm boring you! lol) Yes as he shoots at her and she hides and then she runs for it again and then he corners her and then!.!.!.!. and then! You decide what happens next~! =P ^-^Www@QuestionHome@Com

She should, hide in a closet, and the guy should come down the hall, and say something (not exact) "I know were you are -insert girls name here-!. You cant hide forever, come out and it would be over in a second!.!.!." And se should lunge out and stab him!. Something like that!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

On the psychological aspect, yeah that can be possible!. She could also do something out of protecting herself like making him fall and hut his head on something!.!.!.!. a good blow to the back of the head can kill!. But I really do Like your idea It could happenWww@QuestionHome@Com

shoot himself!? haha!. uhhh, maybe misfiring from the Resistance goes through the house and he gets hit because there is a battle going on!. or he trips on a nail and falls and lands on the gun and it goes off !.!.im not sure but thats the best i could come up with Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes it's good!. Or if you want to he can shoot at her while she's on the stairs, and he accidentally shoots a rope or something and something like a chandelier falls on him!. Or he can miss and shoot something metal and it bounce back!. your choice!. hope i helpedWww@QuestionHome@Com

He sees his reflection in a polished metal plate that is sitting on a shelf!. He sees his scarred face and shoots at the plate, the bullet bounces back and hits him in the headWww@QuestionHome@Com

I think the girl should find a gun and shoot him!. But she feels really guilty after it and starts getting really bad dreams!Www@QuestionHome@Com

it would be more realistic if she found something to knock him out with like in another room!. then when he is knocked out then she steals his gun and uses it against himWww@QuestionHome@Com

she could some how get him to fall outta window!.!. or in a frazzled moment of strength she hits him with something!. a fire poker!? idkWww@QuestionHome@Com

i think your idea is better than everyone elses down there VVVV
oh and my names lilianne too(=Www@QuestionHome@Com

I liked your idea, as long as he is a bit off his rocker, it makes sense!. I also like the ricochet idea, too!. ^-^Www@QuestionHome@Com

like im gonna answer your question if you say that to me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Could she bring up some bad memories somehow!? You know how there's that (I forget what it's called) thing where soldiers get bad memories about the war and they'll go into shock or something, could something like that happen to him!? Could she knock something off the balcony that makes a loud crash!? And he could think it's a cannon and have a seizure and shoot himself or just have a heart attack or something!?

That way you could tie in the whole Resistance thing!.

I think you all are overestimating the strength of mirrors and metal objects!. Wouldn't it just dent/shatter whatever it hit!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you should definitely go with the shooting himself in the face bit because, as you've mentioned, he's super narcissistic, so it would fit with his characterisation!. However, I dont think you should do it so blatantly - I think that after he has cornered her after this chase sequence, have him lift the gun to aim it at her, then he catches a glimpse of his deformed face in a mirror or some reflective surface!. Then he pauses and looks as though he's not going to shoot her!. Then, he brings the gun back up, aims it at her, but when he fires, it ricochets off of the reflective surface and shoots himself instead!. That way there's a twist and it's not so predictable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
