Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

Prompted in part by this post of papersky's, and mjlayman's comment there, I have dipped my toe back in rassef. There were in excess of 12 thousand headers since I'd last downloaded that group; I skipped most threads (on the grounds of age or general lack of interest), read or skimmed a few, and commented about chocolate.

In response to a thread on alt.poly, I sketched a quick horror-movie plot. And now I've got people saying I ought to write it as a short story.

To do that, I'd need something resembling plausible characterization. Given that all I know going in is that at least one of these people thinks it would be "cool" to have sex in a stone circle or passage grave, and is sure that if they ask whatever spirits may reside there for permission, they can trust the answers they get, making them even two-dimensional might be difficult.

What I have at the moment is two youngish idiots, one male and one female; one or more "resident beings"; and (in the movie-plot sketch) an older man who lives nearby and does the "I told you so" routine. I think the ominous music can go.

elisem, what exactly was the Breton phrasing about nobody knowing why the monuments were built?
