I'm writing a play and a long short story right now, and I can't decide which to work on now that school's out. They're both psycological pieces about the female mind. Which is a fun and complicated topic, lol.
The play, so far untitled, is about two sisters (loosely based on Rachel and Leah in the Bible) who are viciously jealous of one another and must balance that jealousy by accepting that they each have something the other wants - children for one, the love of a man for the other - until one finally receives what she wants and the delicate equilibrium is shattered and tragedy strikes.
The short story is called "Regina Solaria," which is Latin for "The Lonely Queen," and it's about an ancient young queen whose royal husband -whom she hates for his violence toward her - is so jealous of other men that he forbids her to have any other human contact at all, save a mute servant woman. When an accident brings her companionship, she is so desperate she drives it away; when she gives birth to twins, she becomes obsessed with them to the point of disaster.
Which do you think I should work on first?
