I can sympathize with you, Mike. I’ve had weeks like that. I went through that for like six months once. Worst six months of my life.

I’ve got an idea for your script if you’re interested. This is what I do better than anything else: helping others with their work. Mine I seem to lose in a fog try to explain away what I’m doing wrong, but an editor is what I used to be as a journalist and still what I do well.

How about if three of the four people have tattoos — all of them different — but the fourth person has all three of those same tattoos. The tattoos could jog memories and tell stories. Perhaps it’s too Memento-esque an, but it might lead to something.

Good luck, from a new GITS person.

Daniel,

I’ve been exchanging emails with Unk for four years, so yeah, I was in direct communication with him. Never fear…. he’ll be back.

Man, thanks for this. I was out of touch for some time and when I returned the first thing I did was click on Unk’s link on my website only to find it gone. I’ve been looking and looking and found no answers as to what happened until now.

Tell me, did you find this out via direct communication with him? Just curious.

Again, thanks.

Geez, Mike! Even your moving stories, like your scripts, are better than anything my dusty old mind can conceive of! ; )

Glad it’s falling into place and that nightmare is over. Don’t understand why moving ALWAYS seems to go crazy.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Mike
I would have Tattoo as an ex-Navy Seal (Navy seal tattoo). Disgraced and discharged. Background: Failed to save a fellow Seal from drowning because of his claustrophobia surfacing. At the Naval inquiry did not reveal his reasons and was discharged. This secret sets him up for the caves, he is the only one who can free dive and stay under water for long periods but is claustrophobic. The others lives will depend on him conquering this handicap. I would add some knife scars on his tattoo where he drunkenly attempted remove the tattoo and obliterate his past. If you would like me to share other ideas please email me as I story-lined a similar plot recently, perhaps we could meld the best of both.
