/lit/ I need some help
Since last year I wanted to write a story about a someone who, in an amok rage, murdered someone he knew and hated. He feels guilty and hides the body. Soon, as the plot develops, he is forced to kill more and more, making him develop a taste for murder.
But I have no idea about how to define the plot properly.
Why did he hate the first guy he murdered?
What did the guy make that made him mad enough to murder him?
What forced him to continue killing?
How will the plot end?
If you answer these questions, no matter how vague, I'll be forever thankful to you.

What the fuck? Are you asking /lit/ to completely write a story that you're writing?
Sounds like the most basic murder plot... How do you have ZERO creativity?

Yes it's a really basic plot. I could think of parts of the plot, but never as a whole, and it was always horrible. Although I find it pretty easy to create a main plot from nothing, I really can't develop it well. All my ideas sound like shit

>Why did he hate the first guy he murdered?
He slept with his wife. On Christmas eve. While she was wrapping his presents.
>What forced him to continue killing?
He is a police officer, and his fellow detectives get too close to the truth.
>How will the plot end?
It was just a futuristic VR training simulation. On Mars.

Did you find it easy to imagine that? Although that sounds really simple, I feel like I would never have thought of that. Am I retarded?
But thanks anon, I'll use your ideas.

you have no basis for what anything in your story represents. If you want to write something impactful try communicating some themes, once you have some themes in mind it should be easier to fill in the details. Like this:
>Theme: political life, democracy
>Why did he hate the first guy he murdered?
they disagreed about politics
>What did the guy make that made him mad enough to murder him?
He refused to support his ideas
>What forced him to continue killing?
Killing people who wont vote for him
>How will the plot end?
He wins the election
My point is, if you only have "this happened and then this happened" for your story its not really gonna grab anyone, not even yourself. You should try thinking more of how you can represent things and actually say something with your work.

>Why did he hate the first guy he murdered?
he didn't, he didn't even pay to her any attention. also it was a woman, a cleaning lady
>What did the guy make that made him mad enough to murder him?
she accidentally spilled a bucket of dirty water to a picture which he drew in his studio
>What forced him to continue killing?
to conceal her death he had to kill everybody who entered the building and could find her body, and then everybody who entered the building looking for those who disappeared entering it
>How will the plot end?
there are several possibilities -
a) the building can't contain so many corpses any more and he have to stop
b) the people end, either generally or those who are willing to enter the building
c) they manage to overcome him
