I just saw Austin Miller, who played Hawk on "Days of Our Lives" in the touring company of "Hairspray" last week. Damn, he's a fine performer. Why didn't we see this on Days? Why didn't they keep him instead of bringing NewPhil back? And dang if he doesn't fill out a tight T-shirt perfectly. Him and the guy who played Kevin, both. Ooooh, visual.
And then the tidbits start hammering at my imagination. Who names their lily-white kid "Hawk"? Why was he such an asshole. How can I abuse the poor boy (since all I seem to do is torture Shawn). And then *this* sprang into my head and there you have it. Instant story.
I found it ironic, the opposites of his Days character and Link. Bully to tolerant, inclusing good guy. Hmmm, why do I always get story ideas that way? So instead of using a real person, I'm slipping Hawk into the life of Austin, and then shoving him into bed with Shawn, because this is always about Shawn. Right?
(Hee-hee. Shawn figured out who's the killer! But he's cried wolf too often, so he's gonna go after it alone, and you always know how that turns out!)
Anyway, I have in mind a series of Shawn Douglas Brady stories under the catch-all and tittilating banner "I Was A Teenaged Alien's Sex Slave!" and I'm not talking Cassie. Here is story 8 or 9 of the yet-unwritten series.
