Ok so I'm at school and I'm trying to think of a good name for the main character and I just can't think of a good name....
I also need work on what very well may be my favorite part of my story. The part when he encounters his parents. It is going to be loosely based off of the pink floyd song "Welcome to the Machine." I'm thinking of making him wander though the town (which I've decided it going to be called Ashen Point), and he encounters the only place in the town that looks intact. He enters and it is a weird looking "machine shop," and there is steam coming from all over the place, and he's walking down a long hallway with wall covered with pipes and machinery. As he walks through, he hears the voice of his father. He enter a huge room with a chair in the middle. He doesn't realise it but in that chair is sitting his father's spirit. That is really all i can think of for that scene hopefully it'll come out right. I can picture it but it's kinda hard to write it out...

Town Names?

Ok so I've used one of those town name generators and I think I've narrowed my choices down to these choices:
Ashham
Stratwick
Wildford
Whitberg
Pineford
Redberg
Ashen Point
Darkford Valley
Ashdon
Hollow Hill
Tallowick

Those are the choices I'm not sure which one i like best though... little help? I'm leaning towards Darkford Valley or Ashen Point not sure though...

Ok Let's Begin

Well this is new to me but I'll give it my best. This is a story that I've had in the back of my head for a while now, constantly changing now i need to write it out before i forget. The basis of the story is that this kid (need a name) begins to talk in his sleep. he lives in a foster home when it all started. He was adopted just before he turned 15, and the foster parents were told about this unusual activity but its thought to be nothing. But when the sleep talking turned to sleep walking his foster parents began to worry. I haven't decided but i want to have him dreaming and speaking of his biological parents. If i do that then I'll have his parents live in a town that I could say no road leads to, no satellite can see or something like that. If you've seen the Silent Hill movie or played the games you'll probably figure out where this is going.
If i do have him talking of his parents, his foster parents will want to take him to his biological parents, perhaps either ending his nighttime disturbances or finding out why he sleep talks and that kind of stuff. Im hoping to find some kind of town name that could be passable as a creepy town name it doesn't have to be real. I think on their journey the kid should randomly begin hearing voices in his head as they begin to get closer to the town his biological parents supposedly live.
The voices torment him into running off away from his foster parents when they stop at a motel one night. He keeps running until he sees a sign "Welcome to (need that creepy town name here)." As he enters he feels strange, but upon passing the sign he blacks out. He wakes up later in what can only be described as a factory from long ago. I'm lost from here i haven't really thought past here...input? output? throughput?
