Idea for a psycho thriller

i was working out on the rowing machine in the park and daydreaming as i gazed at the sunlight shimmering on the waters in the lake.then the spark of idea came about a psycho thriller it just flashed thro my brain like a moving reel. i met some inspirational artists last weekend and.the seed of the thriller just came at odd places doing the workout. A gan was a debt collector working for a loan shark.his wife was a waitress in a dim sum shop.A gan had set fire to apartments to collect debts and terrorize his victims by chopping fingers and sending it to threaten those who couldnt pay up. in their rented apartment,thete were two bottles with formalydyhade to preserve the dead foetus of his unborn child.he was a violent man and after heavy drinking beat up his pregnant wife causing her to abort two babies prematurely.he told his boss from the thai underworld about it.the boss advised him to create two kumanthongs or boy spirits so that they could protect him from being caught by cops or killed by rival gangs. A kumanthong has to be fed with blood traditionally so he went to the wet market to collect fresh chicken blood to feed the ghost boys.he also bought them small balls and toys to play.he invited a high skilled black magic master from Siam to increase the power of the kumanthong by giving him an amulet to wear. unfortunately as he couldnt pay a years rent the landlord evicted him and his wife.when the landlord saw the gory bottles,he dumped them in the thrash.then he renovated the flat and rented it out to a family with an autistic 13 year old son.the man was an graphic animator and worked long hours.he taught his autistic son to draw and paint and some simple motion graphic software.the boy couldnt talk and express himself thro his drawings. one day the dad opened the file his son kept in his pc.the dad was shocked at the amazing stories his son drew .it was a queer weird fantasy world of mystical animals and small spirits residing in trees and stones. the autistic son could see and play with the kumanthongs.they led him thro a secret space into the world of black magic and devilish creatures. it was there they directed him to kill stray animals n offer the blood to kumanthongs for food. the father became a famous illustrator with even movies being made from his manga.but no one knew that his son was the source of his success. with fame going to his head,mr B started having flings with his girl fans and when his wife was away on business trips brought the gals back home.the poor son sensed something but could only flapped his hands helplessly when his mom expressed concern for his head banging.but the kumanthongs were his partners in this moment of despair.the girlfriends freaked out when they saw balls bouncing in the dead of night,heard kids giggling or toy cars rolling across the floor. the father didnt believe the girls overimaginative lies to avoid sleeping with him.until the night before the ghost festival when the kumanthongs decided to terrify him with their antics.the PC on his desk suddenly switched on by itself and a dot of light focused on the wall.it danced around the room.then the footsteps of little boys and toy cars running to the top of the ceiling freaked him out.he covered himself with the quilt but still heard the sound of children laughing. the next day he went to see a psychiatrist who diagnosed he was suffering from mania and prescribed anti anxiety medication for him.the side effect of the medicine was erectile dysfunction and he had to give up philandering.Doing some snooping he found out from neighbours about the former tenants gory past and quickly moved out the next month but he did not know that his son was able to summon the kumanthongs out by drawing a magical tattoo on his wrist. as for A Gan his wife divorced him and went back to her familys village in Toishan.A Gan had lost the amulet and his link to the kumanthong severed when he left them in the old apartment and their remain incinerated in the thrash.they could never be reborn in the afterlife and regarded the autistic boy as their master.with the power of the kumanthong gone,A Gan was hacked to death by a rival gang of a new triad.in the meantime Mr B became a more attentive partner and devoted his energy to his career.
