How to Design a Story:
One character, many roles
subject / object relationships
All text is a matter of facts.
House of the Morfar
The Old Man is really Morfar.
The Old Man was a Postman.
As a Postman he made deliveries.
Today his deliveries are made as the Caretaker of Kvarnbacken.
He assumes any and all roles the Kvarnbacken requires.
The Walker always notices all the Old Man’s labor.
The Topiary is the Old Man’s greatest enemy.
To sculpt the Topiary hedges is a never ending task.
Seasons past and the Topiary betrays the Old Man.
The Widower lost his wife to cancer.
He was unfaithful, but loved her still.
At the Burial Mounds, along with the other Vikings, she is honored yearly by the Walker.
The Gardner and the Collector have a special relationship.
In the Greenhouse, the Gardner supplies the Collector with seeds.
The seeds one day with become Topiary.
The Collector accumulates seeds.
The seeds are stored and dried as an annual process.
As years past, the Collector needs a larger house.
The Carpenter is always joyful.
He lost three fingers in and accident, but is not afraid of the saw.
The Kvarnbacken’s wood supply is excellent.
Many times the former Mill burnt down, but the Woodshop has stood for a century.
The Baker bakes bread.
They say that bread brings life.
The life of the Baker is very lonely and solemn.
His only friend is the Philosopher.
The Philosopher speaks to him as he bakes the bread.
The Swimmer is a morning person.
The Natatorium opens at 6am, but the he has keys to the building and arrives earlier.
He unlocks the doors, swims for an hour, then leaves for other tasks.
The Natatorium is full of light, but the Swimmer only sees the pool.
The Laundryman does all the towels for the Natatorium.
He truly hates his never-ending work for the Swimmer.
As a small reward, the Baker brings him lunch once a week.
The Teacher only tells stories.
He knows the entire history of Kvarnbacken.
The Schoolhouse is where the Kvarnbacken is considered a city unto itself.
The city the Teacher describes is also his home, but the Widower thinks he’s crazy.
The Old Man returns to the Row House at the end of each day.
The Row House is his sanctuary from the Kvarnbacken.
Before bed, Morfar speaks to the Philosopher.
The Yellow House does exist.
The Philosopher does not exist.
As the ghost of Kvarnbacken, the Philosopher’s wisdom is ever present.
