Story Proposal

Proposed Story Idea 1

·         Flash fiction/ short short story

·         Character: an up and coming art curator of a museum/art gallery who had the job for about 3 months after graduating college (not yet sure what gender)

·         Setting: late night December in a famous museum/ art gallery where the high-society crowd usually gathers

·         POV: first person narrative of the main character

·         Plot:

       The main character is an art curator, described by his colleagues as the best description to fit the job. Right after graduating from college, the main character was hired as a junior curator for a famous museum. He was in charge of the new art gallery that features artworks done by artists he never heard of. The art gallery has been open for three months, and the story takes place at the closing party of the art gallery.

        After three months of stress from managing his first job as a curator, the main character is relieved that everything is all over. But he didn’t know that there is still one guest waiting for him at the gallery.

·         Atmosphere: psychological, dark

·         Research process: read on about art, and on being a curator. Look and familiarize myself with different works of art in the library and in the net. Try to visit a museum or the Ateneo Art Gallery to get the museum-feeling of the setting.
