[serious]Need story ideas...

[timeshifter]

I'm gonna sign up for a writing contest in my school that offers a cash reward, and i'm a fiction writer, but my brain hasn't been on for weeks now and i need some ideas...i like medeval(sp?) stuff for some reason, and futuristic works well too... what would be a good plot that could win me some money?

how about a knight who goes into the future, the twist ending could be that he was dead all along and the little boy could see him because he saw ghosts.

BTW, I couldn't even finish that movie when I saw it cuz it freaked me out so badly... i was 11 back then... i think... kinda lost my mind since... don't remember if i can think...

how about a guy with a disability who was a knight in the King Arthurs era and he tells the story of he and his mates trying to defend a fortified castle that was under siege.

now the trick is to throw monty pythons humor with Home Alone kinda traps.
