Reading Part D
Bhishma Falls
Bhisma as an elephant. I have alway loved the images of the Indian Elephants. Bhisma wouldn't kill a women.. UNTIL HE DID. (A Story?)
Arjuna went forth on the 10th day and made a woman into a male. I like Arjuna.
Drona in Command
Arjuna seems like the hero in a lot of common stories. I like that.
This seems like a gladiator scene. With the fighting and animals. I wonder if that could be translated into the Wild West smoothly.
Abhimanyu and Jayadratha
The scene of a shattered chariot but still fighting reminds me of a horse carriage in the west getting shot down but the men still fighting, maybe for honor or for a woman.
A story inspired by this one about the description of death... It might be unique.
Ghatotkacha
Brothers fighting against brother and fathers killing sons.
What a war scene. A night filled with horrors. How would Arjuna successfully call peace for sleep?
A great Wild West fighting scene would be ideal with this story.
Death of Drona
The son of Drona kept his father undefeated.
Bhima and Duhshasana
The great war in these stories could provide small details for a new story, or I could take the general idea of war to develop my story.
Bhima cutting off a head and drinking blood... GROSS.
Arjuna and Karna
Arjunas arrows could become bullets in the Wild West.
Arjuna could keep his bow and be a tribal Indian.
Duryodhana in the Lake
Karna was slain.
The 18th day of the war was waged.
Son of Drona was one of the survivors as well as hidden Duryodhana.
The idea of retiring to the jungle (dessert) and meditate.
The Raid
Duryodhana was dying on the battlefield.
The Pandavas were attacked while they were sleeping.
Personifying the stars.
Casting their bodies into the flames.. (like a bible story)
Ashwatthaman's Jewel
Draupadi mourns the death of her brother and sons.
Mourning
Wives weeping for dead husbands and mothers moaning for their sons... Good imagery for the battle to be held in the Wild West.
Bhima lives on at this point.
The Pandavas and Bhishma
Pandu princes revisit the man lying on the field of battle waiting to die.
Can I write reincarnation into the Wild West?
Terrible 12-year drought, bones everywhere.
Men eating humans.
Morbid ways of the Cowboys maybe?
Parikshit
Horse Sacrifice
The Mongoose
The Forest and its Ghosts
Death of Krishna
The Pandavas Depart
The Afterlife
