Brainstorm for Chapter 10:
- Oracle sends out a tentacle into the world carrying Madam’s body toward a secondary bog or bucket of bog juice? With intentions to bring Madam back to life. A baby spider robot survives and takes Madam’s body to the barn? Neither makes any sense actually because Morningstar is destroyed along with Madam’s body so... moving on.
- Elsie watches as Morningstar burns. She mourns the loss of everything she knew, but then feels the bittersweet freedom of this.
- The bucket of bog juice is in the barn.
- Elsie is cleaning up, moving bodies into the barn? Wait no, all bodies are completely gone in the bus blast. Cops/villagers are drawn by the explosion/fire and discover the bucket of bog juice (implying evil is not destroyed)?
- Elsie goes to the barn to rest/spend the night and finds the bucket of bog juice that Madam had reserved. She finds hope in this, an opportunity to start again, “do it right/differently this time”. She is pregnant? Hank’s baby? Delivery man’s baby? Elsie’s boyfriend? He comes and finds the bog juice bucket/comforts Elsie? Drawn by the fire? Maybe Hank was mad because he knew details of Morningstar from Elsie’s POV because of their intimate relationship?
