Need Idea for Story

9 years ago

I need an idea for a story I am about to write, and what category it belongs in. This is my idea for the first page.

It was a normal Saturday in the small town of Indian Arrow*. Kids were playing in their backyards, parents were commuting to their daily jobs in neighboring communities, and teachers were relaxing. But in this town, something feels out of place...

A family is actually moving in for once! But who is this family you ask? Well, it is the Bayuk family from Brandenburg*, with their 13-year-old son Elias, and his older brother, Matthew.

"We finally made it!"

"But it's just a boring ass small town."

"Shut the fuck up, Elias."

As you can see, Elias, and his father don't exactly have a good relationship with each other. This is because he forces the family to move constantly, even when his job hasn't been transferred to another location. After this argument, Elias is forced out of the house. Elias decides to:

(Insert choices)

Note: * denotes that it isn't a real location. Brandenburg is a real city in Kentucky, but let's not get into that yet.

So, what do you guys think? What should this story be about? Also, did I even post this in the right section? And yes, this is in third person omniscient for some reason. Note that this is just a sample. The real first page of the story most likely won't be this short.
