Supplicium, a ghost story

Hi steemians:

A few days ago, when reviewing the old scripts I have saved, I found a project that had started but i never wanted to end. I decided to read it from the beginning to see how much my writing had changed and the truth is that the surprise that led me was very pleasant to realize that the story and the characters were more decent than I remembered, so that was how i think in redesign the characters and show them today.

But what is Supplicium? They will ask.

Supplicium is a script I wrote in 2018 that tells the story of Alfred, a 14-year-old boy who finds a 17th-century medallion inside an old store. Alfred, ipnotized by the object, decides to buy it and take it home to keep it in his immense collection of ancient relics, when he discovers that said medallion was being possessed by the soul of two children.

These boys are called Dimas Bonum and Gestas Malum, two souls who were condemned by Death itself to be bound for eternity to the medallion, with the only mission of tormenting everyone who possesses the object. All this in order for the owner to decide to commit suicide, for all the pain, once and for all.

At first, Dimas and Gestas, for fear of The Death, wish to fulfill the mission entrusted to them, but for the strength of will and the character that Alfred possesses, these two souls begin to become fond of him.

Main characters

He is a withdrawn and mysterious 14-year-old boy, he likes insects and collecting foreign objects, as well as being an excellent student and ping pong player. He lives in a small urbanization on the outskirts of the city, in a Gothic mansion. In the afternoons she usually goes out to talk and play with her neighbor, who is her only friend and secret love.

Dimas Bonum:

It is a young soul over 400 years old, cheerful and optimistic. He likes board games and cards, besides being an inveterate fan of astronomy and the stars. He does not remember anything about life before his death, but that does not bother him either, he says that in this way he enjoys his phantasmagoric present more. He is the best friend of Gestas Malum and Alfred, recently.
