It's for a short story. It's about a man who is a chalk outline. He leads a normal life with a fully-fleshed human woman. His speech is in bubbles that can be heard when burst.
Anyway, he goes out and gets drunk with some friends in a local pub and, on his way home, trips on a loose paving slab and lands fast asleep on the dry summer street. During his slumber, a man is murdered and his body falls exactly within his chalk outline body. When he wakes up he finds the body there and the police who presume he has been drawn by the investigating team.
I've thought, thus far, that he would then just lie there, with a dead man inside him, trying not to move due to the embarassment of the situation. All the while the fear of being wiped away is with him.
I haven't thought it through fully yet, but does it sound shit or wot?
