I should write more.

Here are some more story ideas:

Time travelling thieves steal great works of art. Things that are "missing" in our time (faberge eggs, Leonardo da Vinci's "Medusa," Michaelangelo's " Sleeping Cupid," etc.) have been stolen by art thieves from the future. Of course, time-travelling art police follow them, but the thieves are the ones we're rooting for. Heheh ...Art Police... Stop! In the name of Post-Modern Impressionism!

This is probably more of a novel concept than a short story: Adam and Eve in the first year after exile from Eden. They see the entire Earth dying (changing seasons from Fall to Winter) and blame themselves and each other for their sin. The story of their relationship follows the seasons from Summer - when they're first exiled to the following Spring - when they accept and forgive one another and Cain is born with all the wonder and promise of new humanity. A sequel following Cain, Abel and Seth would make millions!

A Nazi officer loots the French countryside after the German invasion. In one of the chateaus he finds the stabbed Picture of Dorian Grey and absconds with it. The painting is restored, but as the war progresses, Dorian's painting transforms into a painting of the Nazi. Following Wilde, the officer first indulges in his power, cruelty and hedonism and the picture becomes more horrible. Unlike Wilde, the Nazi never is repentant and displays his painting with pride and revels vampire-like in his immortality.
