It's a battle between praising and condemning. This is a story about a rapist and how he stumbles upon a woman screaming for help to save her drowning baby (she can't do it for some reasons ill make up). Rapist decides to be a hero and saves the poor baby.

Cops come and point the gun right at the rapist demanding him to put the baby down or they will shoot. Turns out he has committed a rape not too long ago.
Mother tells the cops that they are lying, that they got the wrong person.

All this shit boils down to a society dividing where people ask to forgive him while others ask to condemn him.

Alright, this might seem a bit stupid, but I think this might be something worthwhile.

A 17 year old is walking down a city street, and then is randomly beaten unconscious by a gang. The next thing he wakes up to is he's in a mercenary hideout, and that he has to do work for them for the courtesy this "gang" has given them. After he does some work, he is offered to either leave or stay however two things happen: The leader is assassinated, and an xboxhueg terrorist attack hits Washington D.C., The entire Northeast section of America, and the entire area 10 miles around all of the missile sites (mostly Northwest mid-west). The gang is split between choosing this kid as a leader (he does a lot of impressive shit when he had to pay back the courtesy, impressive enough to put people in awe, including the leader) and an older guy who was destined leader but has been known for corruption. The group that has the young kid decides to leave, because they think it's better to find a way out (this is in an alternate history where when airlines started to get bad rap from 9/11, many switched to trains unless they had to go over sea or something and during the attack most of the forms of transportation were used to escape the country immediately after the attacks) and wander to find supplies. Basically it's them wandering, going through mercenaries (including the rival group), and whatnot until they find out that there is a cruiser in New York (however, there are wild rumors that New York is radiated, or full of zombies, or what not and many are weary of what actually happened), in which they escape to Europe. Book One. I might make a sequel, but I don't know if even this'll be good.

A man is offered a special gift (what the special gift is, I don't know, may not even be that important) by a deity-type character.
Although the deity will only give it to the man if he doesn't tell anyone anything about the gift after he has received it. The deity makes it clear that he knows the future, so he knows if the man will say anything about the gift to anyone after he has received it.

Well, the deity gives the man the gift (we the reader assume that the deity has seen that the man will not tell anyone anything about it.) So we follow the man with his knew gift (as stated before what the gift may not really be that important, I may work it in to the story somehow in a clever way I suppose), and he is plagued with a simple problem. The problem is that now that he has received the gift what is stopping him from telling anyone about it? The thought drives him insane, but of course the simple answer is basically that he won't tell anyone about it. Right? But the fact that he has the item now, in his hands, and that he can tell anyone about it without anything stopping him literally drives him to insanity. So as he goes mad, at the end he breaks down and tells someone about the gift.

Go back to the begging with the deity. It turns out the whole story just told is what the deity sees in the future. So he does not give the man the gift, and the deity leaves.

A young girl wakes up in a farmhouse where she's taken care of by a mother figure and meets a number of small animals she can talk with outside the house. Throughout the story she periodically falls unconscious and the mother figure brings her back by ringing one of ten bells she carries with her tied to her skirt, hanging in the kitchen or outside the house. Eventually, the girl walks to the edge of the farmland and her consciousness fades. Then the reader finds out that she's actually been dying in a hospital bed, the bells she hears are the medical equipment monitors giving alarms every time she's crashing until finally she dies.

I'm tripping to prevent identity theft.

My latest idea goes like this: A man receives a letter from an old artist he hasn't seen in decades asking him to check out his newest work, claiming it is the best he has ever made. This artist was famous when the narrator knew him, but never heard a word about him after the two parted, personal or public.

When the narrator arrives to his home, the house is decrepit and the artist ugly and unkempt. It is slowly revealed that the artist went to seclusion trying to improve his craft. As time past, he couldn't make any progress at all and he eventually started to be so critical of himself that his physical and mental state started to fall apart. He tells the narrator that now, all he does is paint self-portraits of his youth to prove he is getting better, and when they fail, his past self comes out of the painting and mocks him, then hides the canvas in his upper floor.

Not revealing the end, because shut up.
