I have had several ideas for books but have had no luck in writing them down. I think that these ideas should not be wasted. Therefore, I am giving this one away. Take it if you are inclined to write. Publish a book. Make some money. Take the idea and make it your own.
Genre: Science Fiction
There is a race of aliens who have two life cycles. In their first, they are much like us. Each having an individual personality, each person unique. However, during their transition they have an overpowering need to leave the land they are in and travel as far as they can. In this travel, they are mindless, in a trance. At some point they stop and wake up. Nothing of the first part of their lives is remembered. It is taboo for someone from the first life to even acknowledge someone in the second part of their lives.
In this second incarnation, they are the polar opposite of what they were in the first. A murder and tormentor becomes almost a saint. A man of principles becomes someone with fluid morals and situational ethics.
There have been those that have tried to remember their first lives. If caught, they are removed and locked up for their own good. Those that help them are "heavily counseled" and rarely try to give such aid again. For anyone who has ever tried to recover their first life has died before their first life memories ever surfaced.
The story is told by the only one who has survived this passage. It is her story. The risks she took, the wisdom she learned, and the way her heart and thoughts had to change to survive the absolute shock of remembering both lives. Accepting deep into herself that she was both killer and healer, violent and peaceful, criminal and judge, executioner and savior.
Take it with my compliments. Write your heart out.
