Read the Science Fiction Thriller

From the founder of Storymind

Man Made follows a mysterious force as it sweeps around the globe erasing anything man made - from buildings, vehicles, and technology to medicines, clothing, and dental work.

Governments stagger under the panic, religions are at a loss for an explanation, scientists strive for any means to stop or divert the phenomenon, and the world’s population from families to individuals struggle to prepare for The Event, which will drive humanity back beyond the stone age.

The Event is coming.

Are you prepared?

Antagonist


Revealing the antagonist is a little easier than revealing the protagonist.  The antagonist, in short, is the person opposed to the protagonist achieving his or her goal.  For example, if the protagonist is trying to marry the princess, the antagonist is trying to stop him, and perhaps, even trying to marry her instead.  Therefore, It is often a good idea to reveal the antagonist in relationship to the goal.


In this step, describe how you will reveal to your readers which of your characters is the antagonist.  Then describe other scenarios in which the antagonist influences and is influenced by other story points.
