Title: “Blink”

Genre: Supernatural Horror / Psychological Thriller

Logline: When a timid boarding school student is ridiculed for his fears, a violent thunderstorm leaves him trapped in a dormitory where all his classmates have mysteriously vanished. As he searches for answers, Amir begins to question whether he’s lost in a nightmare—or if something far more sinister is lurking in the shadows, waiting for him to be alone.

Not sure what direction to take the story? Consider these potential themes:

Fear & Isolation – Amir’s real-world fears manifest in a nightmarish reality.

Childhood Trauma & Bullying – The emotional scars of bullying take a haunting form.

The Unknown & Perception of Reality – Is Amir experiencing a supernatural event, or is his mind unraveling?

Having trouble fleshing out the characters? Give these interpretations a try:

Amir (Protagonist) – An anxious, quiet boy struggling with fear and self-confidence.

George (Protector Figure) – Kind but skeptical; the only one who stands up for Amir.

Preston (Bully) – Arrogant, brash, and the ringleader of Amir’s tormentors.

The Dormitory – Almost a character itself—dark, creaking, and filled with lingering shadows that seem to move when no one is looking.
